"Cesar was great to work this. Came out immediately and provided a good quote. His crew was able to come out the next day. Power washed the fence, replaced some damaged boards and rebuilt the gates. Restained everything, the fence looks great. Cesar walked through with me ensuring I was satisfied."

"Thomas did an excellent job in sanding, staining , and then three coats of sealer on our front door. He took time making sure that each stage was perfect. You don’t get this type of workmanship these days.. I have no hesitation in recommending him and will choose him whenever I have another project."

"Texas heritage painting did an amazing job painting our home. They painted several rooms and custom stained our new cabinets. Crew was friendly, professional, and very efficient. And it was amazing have the owner of the company as our main point of contact the whole project. Will use them as our dedicated paint crew for everything."

"We recently completed a whole home interior paint projects (3/2 1800 sq ft). Ivan, our project manager, walked the house with me and provided a fully detailed, written estimate afterwards. We chose this company due to the competitive pricing (not the cheapest or most expensive), online reviews (from several sources) and that they have employees (which makes the bid a bit higher but worth it). They arrived on time (every day) with the correct paint. We were fortunate to have a 5-man team who worked hard, start to finish, each day (no messing around, too many breaks etc). They covered everything appropriately and none of our floors or personal items were damaged or accidentally painted. When they had to move our larger antiques, bed, electronics, they were careful. They staged their materials appropriately in the rooms (if you have a larger family than our 2-person household and need to live in while doing it, make sure that's known so they'll clean up every night or 'camp out' with your kids and make it fun). They were very accommodating of my request to repaint certain sections up to three times (paint samples were bleeding through). They really seemed like they wanted me to be happy. Happy I was. Because I could stay home while they were working, I could answer questions if needed, but they went to work and so did I. We had little interaction and that was fine. We walked through each day to check progress. They let me blue tape areas to tackle the next day. At the end we did a final walk through and it was a beautiful project. They even took the mirrors off the wall to paint behind them! I highly recommend and may hire them to paint our garage when we move in a few years."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

There’s no single paint that’s the most waterproof. Instead, there are several types of waterproof and water-resistant paints that suit different purposes. Epoxy paint, for instance, is commonly used to provide a waterproof coating to floors and decks. Masonry paint is an excellent choice for exterior walls. Meanwhile, there are waterproof acrylic paints that can be used for interior and exterior walls. It’s more about choosing the best type for what you’re painting instead of the most waterproof paint overall.

The opposite is actually true: Wood stains tend to appear lighter when they’re fully dry. However, stains may darken as they weather and oxidize with age. Stains might also darken on surfaces left in direct sunlight, as UV rays can break down pigment particles and cause them to darken over time.

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

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.

Rags used with oil-based stains are highly flammable and can spontaneously combust in the right conditions. To reduce the fire risk, throw them in a metal container after use and add rocks on top to secure them. Add an inch of water and seal the container. Take the rags in the container to a hazardous waste factory as soon as possible.
