"They showed up on time when they said they would with all the right equipment to get the job done. They hand sanded the entire fence removing all dirt and rust. Then they applied a liberal coat of oil based premium paint. After painting the entire fence they went back and meticulously went over every inch making sure that there were no missed spots. They cleaned up everything and carried away all their trash when they left. I would recommend them to anyone without hesitation and would rehire them in a heartbeat. They were a pleasure to work with."

"Excellent work. This is the third time I have hired Mr. Girismen to perform interior painting and repairs over the last 2 years, and have always been extremely pleased with the results. Atila is very prompt to come out to give an estimate, and I was included on the schedule very promptly. His teams are always on time and work very hard all day with a short lunch break. Atila makes sure to check on progress several times during the day, and is always available by phone. I have always found them to be friendly and respectful of my house and furnishings, and they always clean up behind themselves at the end of the day. Atila also comes by to do a final walk-through after the work is done to make sure everything has been done to my satisfaction. I live in an older house that had several different challenging repairs required. First, I had a damaged ceiling in the great room with a badly-designed piece of crown molding hung crooked by the previous DIY homeowner. I also had several light fixtures moved in the kitchen and dining room, resulting in new holes that needed to be patched, plus there was an area of water damage around an old fixture. Also, there was a hole in the dining room drywall. I cannot tell now that there was ever any damage and those rooms are very well-lighted; very impressive. The crown molding trim was a difficult situation as the trim was really too wide to fit over an a/c vent, but Atila worked with us to solve the problem by precisely cutting a section so it now lies flat and looks natural. Atila also resolved a situation where we had removed a piece of trim from the ceiling and installed stacked-stone ledgers around a fireplace. He repaired the ceiling up to the stone then caulked the seam. It was a good solution for us, as trim could not be used there due to the uneven stone. The work had to be performed on different days, as I was waiting for an electrician to move the ceiling fixtures. Atila recommended an electrician who was able to come out within a few days and did an excellent job for much less than my other two estimates. When that work was complete, I was again added promptly to Atila's schedule to get the work finalized. I will definitely use Girismen painting again."

"Workers showed up when supposed to and were very professional. Tore off old roof, replaced compromised decking and facia, and replaced with new roofing. This is the second job I have used TCS for, the other being gutter replacement. The two jobs done by TCS are the best experiences I have ever had with having home repair work done. I don't think I am unreasonably hard to please, but I do expect companies to show up when they say, answer or return phone calls or text in a timely manner (which is great with TCS!), clean up after themselves and do a quality job and stand behind their work. I would absolutely use them again!"

"HIGHLY RECOMMEND Bryan Hughes at Tennessee Paint and Stain!! He is an extremely skilled professional and a pleasure to work with. He stained all our exterior woodwork and went the extra mile to sand our porch ceiling bead board and stain it so the wood grain looked like new! We will certainly be using Tennessee Paint & Stain for all future projects. So glad to have found them on Angie’s List! ?"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the deck refinishing process. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.

You can use latex or acrylic paint outdoors. Although acrylic paint tends to last longer outside, it also costs more, so if you’re painting the outside of your house, for instance, latex paint is often a go-to option. However, acrylic will be your best choice if you want to spend some extra money for added durability.

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.

When applying multiple coats, wait four to six hours for each coat to dry. Not waiting long enough can result in streaks, peeling, and uneven color. Plus, it will be more difficult to discern where the second coat has already been applied.

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.
