"They are professional and prompt, accurate in their estimate and priced very reasonably. When unsure they ask, they are responsive to feedback and immediately fix anything mentioned. Pleasant to deal with and so respectful! They have now painted our bathrooms, main living rooms and our back deck posts that needed staining. They can handle a variety of painting tasks including removing wallpaper, putting down stain/smell blocker, painting trim and ceiling coffers and brought their own scaffolding. They were great to do additional coats when needed (like taking color to white) and were easy to get a hold of. They cleaned up after and put everything back where they found it. I will be hiring them again when Iâ m ready to paint my basement. I highly recommend this company!"

"flawlessly ... except (chuckle) the inside of our front door got painted also instead of just the outside. The pristine white is rather noticeable but the whole entry and living room could stand to be repainted ... sometime down the road. lol Not a problem here. A few little bubbles popped up but we have left-over paint to fill them."

"Greg did a great job and definitely took care of us. Freshcoat stained our two level deck, screen porch, and stairs. The guys were professional and we love how it turned out. There was a lot to do and they did not take shortcuts. I would hire them again."

"I would highly recommend Groovy Hues to anyone looking for high quality stain and paint services that wonâ t break the bank. The Groovy Hues team is professional and easy to work with. They did an exterior stain job on our large fence, and we were so pleased with the quality and price of the work, that we also hired Groovy Hues to paint our master bathroom. We look forward to using Groovy Hues again in the future!"

"Samuel and his team go above and beyond to deliver great service, product and experience. They're very skilled painters and very diligent in their work paying attention to detail. They chose high quality products and made sure I was able to get the color I liked after a few iterations. I am very happy with the end results of the job. My all brown cabin now looks updated and polished and very upscale after their job is done. I will post more photos after the renovation is complete. I am very happy with the team and will be working with them more."

"I hired Chris for a couple jobs. I had a customer at an Ethanol plant that needed a structure stripped and painted and it was pretty sizable, he did a fantastic job and in the time frame that I bid the job. My customer was extremely happy with his work as well as I. Another job he performed for me was a customer of mine in Omaha that had 4 interior rooms at his residence that he needed cleaned and painted, Chris did a wonderful job on them and went above and beyond to keep his work area clean when he was working and in-between the days he was off. I would Hire him back anytime but he has moved out of town. He would be an asset to anyone who would hired him!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.

Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years.

When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.

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’ll need to wait until the surface is completely dry, which can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours under optimal conditions. The waiting period depends on several factors, including the type of siding and the weather conditions. Trying to paint before the surface is completely dry can trap moisture under the paint, leading to bubbling, blistering, and mold growth.
