"I had a good experience with MD Painting... and they did much more than painting. They completely redid the restroom of the master bedroom. They also completely redid the kitchen. And in another restroom they changed the toilet, sink and mirror only. All together: materials and labor I spent $15,450. Alot of this is due to that I chose the most premium and choice materials you could find. And this includes wall tiles, 2 toilets, sink, new shower walls and floor, new kitchen walls, new handmade cabinets in the kitchen (which they made), top quality granite (bought at Tajams) countertops and a matching granite table (which they made) and fine chairs (7 in number). The workmanship was superb. It could have been done cheaper but like i said I went for the most premium materials. And I should have perhaps not brought in the price of materials into my review, I know, but it would just get a little tedious to divide the costs all perfectly like that for me. Also, they were very nice in their character. I say because I've hired other construction companies that when nearly completing the job seem like they are dragging their feet murmuring about how hard they are having to work, just want to get paid and leave and not finish the details. It never felt that way with MD Painting. It was a serene atmosphere of trust and charity circulating among all of us. I have more projects for them in the future."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Exterior paints contain more volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, making them dangerous when used indoors. Without the free ventilation of the great outdoors, it can take longer for the fumes to dissipate than interior paint. While you may notice the smell lessening more quickly, you should be wary of paint fumes inside for 48 to 72 hours after it dries.

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.

Wood stain is not flammable after it dries. The solvent in wood stain is what causes the liquid form to be highly flammable, but the stain drying process involves the solvents dissolving, which leaves behind a non-flammable product on your wood project. Wood stain is, however, flammable before you apply it, so you should always store partially full cans and used wood stain rags away from sources of heat and open flames.

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

Hiring a contractor or professional deck refinisher is the best way to ensure your deck is properly stained. They have the expertise, tools, and supplies to do the job quickly and efficiently. However, staining a deck is a manageable task for most homeowners, and doing the job yourself can save money. Just keep in mind that DIY staining is a long process requiring physical strain, so it may not be the best option for everyone.
