"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

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

Always sand a deck before repainting so the wood is smooth and ready for paint. While you do not need to fully remove paint before repainting, sanding helps remove any areas with weather and sun damage. Sanding also helps remove chipped or flaking paint and opens the wood pores to improve paint adhesion.

Choosing the best color for your home exterior should factor in longevity as well as your personal taste. To keep your house looking newly painted as long as possible, stay away from red paint. Although red homes pop and are quintessential for country-style barns, red paint tends to fade fastest in the sun. Go with earth tones if you want paint that best resists fading.

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.

Oxygen bleach uses hydrogen peroxide as a base and won’t harm wood when using it as a cleaner. On the other hand, chlorine bleach breaks down wood at the cellular level and causes irreversible harm. Although you may not see immediate damage to wood after exposing it to chlorine bleach, its strength and integrity are now compromised.
