"These guys were incredible! Not only did they stain my deck with the proper product, but they replaced boards that were warped or rotten. They were reliable and traveled more than an hour to get here each day until they were finished. I would recommend them for any kind of paint job."

"Carnival painting did a fantastic job.  I had pickled cabinets that were maple with a grey wash on them from the 90's.  They were in need of a makeover.  I had 3 different companies come out and look at the job and provide a quote.  I was impressed with Brad from the beginning.  He understood what I wanted, white cabinets and black on the island.  He explained the process and answered all my questions.  Carnival, I felt, was the best deal for the quality they promised and a guarantee was also provided.  His crew showed up and spent most of the 1st day with many guys prepping and sanding everything.  They covered my floors and granite and appliances, as well as putting plastic draping around the entire kitchen. They applied a primer to all the cabinets.  The next few days they completed painting the kitchen cabinets.  Brad then came back and we did a walk through to make sure the job was done properly.  Tere were some small touch ups that needed completed and he sent one of his crew out and took care of everything in a few hours.  Brad made sure I was satisfied with the job, and then sent me the guarantee.  I love the makeover.  I will call Brad again soon for other painting that I need done.  They do all kinds of panting jobs. I would recommend them for any job!

"I recently posted two jobs I wanted help with on Angi’s list. Anthony, the owner of Artista Painters and Remodelers was the first company to reach out to me. I could tell quickly that he truly enjoys what he does and that he seemed very credible. He was able to go to my house the same day we spoke and he provided me a reasonable quote. He also mentioned he thought my front door needed some attention and I agreed with him. The next day he and his team started the job. They redid two fence posts so the gates could close easily and sanded and stained my front door. They also polished my granite counters in my kitchen. He communicated well during the job which I appreciated as I was out of town. I am very pleased with his professionalism l, his rates, and his solid communication. I look forward to working with him on other projects."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

You can use latex or acrylic paint outdoors. Although acrylic paint tends to last longer outside, it also costs more, so if you’re painting the outside of your house, for instance, latex paint is often a go-to option. However, acrylic will be your best choice if you want to spend some extra money for added durability.

It is not always necessary to remove old stain before restaining a deck. If the previous stain is in good condition and is compatible with the new stain, you may be able to apply a new coat after thorough cleaning. However, if the old stain is in bad condition, flaking, or peeling, it is best to remove it completely to ensure an even surface and proper adhesion for the new coat. Staining over a damaged layer can lead to an uneven finish and poor penetration. For best results, test a small area first and consult the stain manufacturer's guidelines.

Hot, intense sunshine can cause your stain to dry too quickly, which could lead it to look uneven or patchy. If you’re staining the deck during hotter months, it’s best to do it in the morning or evening once the wood has had time to cool down. If you’re staining in cooler weather with less sunshine, the time of day won’t make as much of a difference.

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.
