"We are so fortunate to have found Lubbock Improved! They helped us with a major home remodeling project where we moved an existing bathroom to an adjacent area of our house to open the kitchen to the living room. We have a two story home and were initially unsure if this was even possible/feasible. We had at least 2 contractors tell us "no way." We had 2 never call us back. We had one contractor tell us it was possible but quoted us an insane amount. We had almost given up before we found Andrea and Lubbock Improved. She employed a Structural Engineer to make sure the project would be safe before starting (again, project was on the first floor of our 2 story home). We were very apprehensive at first, but this quickly went away after they started. Steve, one of her main construction personnel, is very easy to talk to and was always happy to share what they are currently working on and even any difficulties they ran into. They showed up to our house at the same time every morning (8am) and let us know if they were expecting be late for any reason. We were very comfortable letting them in our house when we were at work (they even brought in our Amazon packages). Living in a construction zone is never fun, but we are fortunate to have lived through it with Andrea, Steve/crew, and Lubbock Improved!!!"

"I have a very large multi-level deck with a partial lattice roof. Jim's price was higher than others, but I felt he would do a better job. I was not wrong. He was very professional, courteous, charismatic and trust worthy. He was a pleasure to work with, making suggestions for the best outcome. I was concerned about feeling comfortable with a contractor as I was mostly alone. Jim treated me with the up most respect, answering all my questions without talking down to me. I am so pleased with his work. He took the time and care to do the job right. I was surprised that he did two complete coats of stain to make sure the wood was covered properly. He also made minor repairs as needed to give a perfect finished project. I selected a color change and Jim made sure the color was applied evenly. He took great care in protecting the house and plantings around the deck and worked to disrupt things as little as possible. I will not hesitate to use his services again and I recommend him with no reservations. He is well worth the extra money and will do an excellent job."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths

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. 

Staining a deck is typically less expensive upfront than painting. The cost to stain a deck professionally averages around $850, with most homeowners paying between $550 and $1,250, depending on the deck's size. A DIY staining project can cost less than $100. The cost to paint a deck ranges from $500 to $2,000. While the initial cost of staining is lower, it's important to consider long-term expenses. Paint can last up to 10 years, whereas stain needs to be reapplied every few years, which could lead to higher costs over time.

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

No, it is not okay to paint over rotted wood. Painting over rotted wood will not address the underlying issue and can trap moisture, leading to further decay. Properly addressing the rotted wood by removing and replacing or repairing the damaged areas is necessary before you can even consider painting.
