"Angel Painting does an excellent and thorough job. They repaired drywall holes prior to painting. I have used them on three occasions and find the employees to be polite, reliable, honest, and diligent workers. Her estimates are accurate and fair. After each job, she does a final walk through to confirm your satisfaction. I will continue to use her business for any future jobs I may need."

"The process was pretty seamless and straightforward. The only issue was that the only person we could verbally communicate with was the site leader who did not stay onsite. The painters themselves did not speak English and communicating as a mime was not very efficient....Overall the job was done and done well. Would still consider them again."

"KMG Restoration were extremely reliable, fast, & knowledgeable. They power washed my townhome, sidewalk, driveway, front of the garage (and did some repair work on the garage door also), the front porch and the patio around back - and again did some repair and painting on the back door. They worked with my schedule & needs. They do so much more than power washing!!! Call them for big & small repairs, painting, and help on home projects. Kevin and his son Chris were outstanding. Thanks again guys Debbie"

"This interaction was GREAT! Milton and his crew were great. We had to wait forever on the weather, but we finally were able to get started. Milton identified things about my house that were destructive. He made arrangements to have some taken care of, and I made further arrangements to have other things that he identified taken care of. He went above and beyond just staining my house. He became a partner in my home’s well-being. Highly recommended."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.

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.

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must. 

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.
