Get matched with top deck staining pros in Grapevine, TX

"My results were kind of disappointing. I have a seven year old cedar fence that had never been stained before and it was starting to show its age and was gray and moldy in places. From researching the water-based stains, it looked like a water-based stain would last longer than an oil-based stain, so I picked the Behr fence and deck stain (in chocolate brown). The day before the stain was applied, a guy came by and pressure-cleaned and washed my fence. I got home right after he had left but there was dirt and mud all along the very bottom of the fence (on the 2" x 6" boards), so I had to get my water hose and rinse all of that dirt off, otherwise the paint would not stick to the dirt. The next day he applied the paint (no complaints there) but since then, the paint has been flaking off here and there. If I bump the fence with my rake handle or where squirrels are climbing up the fence or just anywhere you touch the fence, the paint flakes off. I talked to a guy in the Home Depot paint dept. and he said that I really should have lightly sanded the fence before applying the stain because he said the wood fibers stand up over time and if you don’t sand them off first, the paint doesn’t stick as well as it should but he admitted that very few people are going to sand the fence. He also thought that turning up the pressure washer to a higher setting might remove the wood fibers, where the paint would stick better. Anyway, I don't think the pressure cleaning and washing was done correctly. I know that for sure because there was dirt all along the bottom of the fence that should have been rinsed off but wasn't. I don't think the pressure washer was turned up high enough but I have no way of proving that."

"Will DeLoatche done a great job on staining my 8 year old fence. He was very Professional and nice and did everything to satisfy My Wife and I."

"Top Coat does all my paint and staining on all new construction projects… residential and commercial. Refuse to use anybody else."

"Cesar s crew did great work, fast and clean. Did exterior of house with no overspray."

"Painting was done in conjunction with roof and gutter replacement after a hail storm. Work was done quickly and with excellent results. Two years later, the exterior painting still looks great. The fence was stained at the same time and also still looks great. I've used this contractor since and referred him to others. He's really responsive and easy to work with."

"They did a great job on all aspects of the project. We were very pleased with the results and I would recommend GH to anyone needed help with any time of construction project."

"Jess was very easy to talk to and accommodating. He built a great deck for me and did it in very difficult circumstances. I was out of the country during the build and he still made time to communicate with me and make sure that the build came out as planned."

"Thomas did a great job as always. They sanded and stained my deck. Then about a month later I hired him again to patch and paint a large water bubble I got in my living room ceiling when a pipe broke. The patchwork is hardly noticeable and looks almost as good as new. This is probably the fifth or sixth job I've hired ATM to do and they always do a great job. I highly recommend them."

"MQ did a great job on this multi project job. They always showed up early and worked hard throughout the day. The project was completed very timely. They painted all the kitchen cabinets (changing stained finish to a beautiful rich paint color), all the trim and doors on the first floor and all other cabinets on the first floor, as well as the walls in two rooms. If there was ever a question about anything, Victor asked before proceeding. They carefully moved furniture and nick-knacks, and covered surfaces to protect from overspray. MQ left the work area clean and tidy each day before leaving. In 2019, MQ painted the entire exterior of our home and installed all new gutters. They also removed wallpaper, textured walls and painted the second floor. We loved the finished product this time and back in 2019, and highly recommend MQ for your projects!"

"GREAT WORK! We have used this company for all our painting needs. Used since 2018. They recently completely redid all my kitchen and utility room cabinets including the island. Went from old stained cabinets to beautiful painted cabinets. They always take great care in taping off and using plastic to cover areas to prevent overspray and unneeded brush marks. Always on time and keep the work area clean. Our house was in terrible condition when we bought it, but with MQ’s help it is now one of the nicest houses in our area. I HIGHLY recommend MQ for all our painting needs, inside and outside!!"
