"Jeff and his wife Marlena did a wonderful job painting the interior and exterior of our home. Overall experience was great ... they were both easy to get along with, polite, punctual, very neat/tidy, and constantly communicated updates to keep us appraised of progress and estimated completion time. Work quality was very good, and they even got more done than they anticipated in the timeframe we had available. I would highly recommend Jeff for any type of painting work."

"Project: Interior paint and stain. Henry did some painting, cabinet repair, and cabinet staining for me. He was always punctual, and there every day. The project took 5 days. I especially loved the stain on the cabinets. Toward the end of the project my husband got sick and head to go into hospital. While I was with my husband, Henry finished the project. I was told when I came back, there was a surprise for me. Henry had painted a room I had planned to paint myself. This was a welcome surprise! All who were going to help me with this room were senior citizens, just like me. This was just wonderful, and all our joints thank him! I would highly recommend Henry as he seems to be knowledgeable about everything. His wife Christy keeps things running smoothly from the business end, and always lets you know where the project is at time wise."

"I have never hired pro painters & was anxious about the process. Dennis was to the point & explained the process well. The crew were all very friendly & took care of business. They did a great job. I would recommend Eagle Painting. The price seemed fair for the job. Thanks President Trump for the stimulus check. It went towards fixing up my home & stimulating our economy."

Deck Staining FAQs, 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.

The longevity of paint on wood depends on factors like the quality of the paint, surface preparation, exposure to elements, and maintenance. Exterior paint on wood surfaces can last 5 to 15 years or more with proper care and maintenance. Interior paint tends to have a longer life span, often 10 years or more. Regular cleaning, touch-ups, and addressing any issues like peeling or cracking can extend the life of the paint. 

The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage. 

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

You’ll want to avoid excessively hot or humid conditions, so it’s best to apply your stain in late spring to early fall. It's also important to watch the weather forecast and aim for days when there isn’t rain expected for at least three days. For new decks, allow the wood to season beforehand for at least four to eight weeks.
