"Painted our 2 story home and did an excellent job. Went out of there way to stop at our shed builders to get a paint sample from our sheds to match our home. It matched perfectly. They were professional and arrived each day on time. Very happy with their service and will definitely use them again."

"It was a positive experience from beginning to end. The team was professional, price was reasonable, preparation to protect floors and existing trim was thorough, work was clean, and project finished on time. I showed Taylor the rooms. He asked pertinent questions to make sure that he knew what I wanted for a solid bid. Their quote was better than 3 others. I work from home and the painting crew was respectful of my time and kept the commotion around me to a minimum, especially while I was on conference calls. Furthermore, I am picky and pay attention to detail. The PM, Stetson, listened to my concerns and he and the painter, Josh, addressed them immediately. I recommend State 28 and I will use them again. I've already requested another quote."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

The best time to paint your deck is when temperatures are neither too cold (below 60 degrees) nor too hot (above 85 degrees). Always paint your deck when there’s no risk of rain. For fast-drying paint like acrylic or latex, ensure your deck can dry for at least four hours. Oil-based paints take longer to dry and may require 48 hours to completely cure.

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.

Hot, intense sunshine can cause your stain to dry too quickly, which could lead it to look uneven or patchy. If you’re staining the deck during hotter months, it’s best to do it in the morning or evening once the wood has had time to cool down. If you’re staining in cooler weather with less sunshine, the time of day won’t make as much of a difference.

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.
