"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."

"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!"

"They repainted my shutters and hung up a few shutters that had fallen down. They painted two interior hallways and an interior stairway. They did a perfect job! I plan on hiring them again to do more painting around my house!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Whether you can paint over your existing paint depends on what’s on there. Most of the time, you’ll want to sand down or scrape off the paint that’s currently coating your surface. Epoxy paint, for example, won’t let new paint stick to the surface. Latex paint is more forgiving and will accept a new coat, but a primer is recommended if you’re switching colors.

A five-gallon bucket of deck stain will cover roughly 875 square feet in a single coat. Actual coverage will vary based on the type of wood you’re staining and the number of coats. If you plan on doing multiple coats, multiply the square footage by the number of coats to calculate how many buckets of stain you’ll need.

Deciding whether to stain or paint a pool deck depends on your budget, desired look, and the deck's material. Both options can work. Paint offers a wider variety of color options, provides excellent water resistance, and can last longer. However, it requires a primer and can eventually fade or peel. Stain is often cheaper, easier to apply, and penetrates the wood for a more natural look and longer-lasting finish. It also has great water resistance. The downsides are fewer color options and the need for a sealant. The choice can also depend on the deck material; for example, staining may be a better option for concrete as it bonds well and lasts longer than paint.

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.

A wood deck requires annual cleaning and regular inspections for loose or broken boards, nails, and screws. It should be refinished by applying a stain or sealer every two to three years to protect the wood from water damage, rot, mildew, and sun fading. The exact frequency can depend on the climate and the deck's exposure to sun and moisture. If your deck is painted, it will need repainting approximately every 10 years. Signs that your deck needs refinishing include faded, splintering, or warping boards.
