"I contacted the owner Jose form painting and replacing carpet in my home. His crew did an excellent job. Benjamin was one of the painters and he did amazing work. They were very friendly and always on time. My home looks so good and I'm very happy with there work. Not only good work but very affordable. Jose works with you if you let him know what you are needing. I would definitely recommend them to my friends and family or anyone needing work done."

"The Custom Painting painters moved my furniture, covered it carefully, taped off the areas for trim and did a great job of coverage of my walls. I was very pleased with their careful treatment of my furniture and carpets. I’ve hired Custom Painting again recently to do more painting in another part of my home. Great company with great people!"

"Excellent. His team removed the old stain and applied new darker stain to kitchen cupboards. They bubbled the kitchen area, including the contents areas of cupboards and drawers. Very little mess. Very quick and professional work. Great value for the money paid."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

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. 

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. 

Many decking oils can help slow down algae growth, but they don't completely stop it. These oils work by sealing the wood, which reduces moisture and, therefore, algae growth. Some decking oils also help protect against UV damage, but they need to be reapplied according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the decking stays protected.
