"Valle Painting did a fantastic job refinishing, tiling, and painting my guest bathroom. I put them right on another job painting my ceiling after getting recessed lights installed. They are courteous, professional, and friendly and do the work that's promised with great results."

"Dale was very responsive to my request for an estimate. he gave it right away, and it was a fair price. He power washed my deck and staircase and stained it. It looks great, and he was very professional and pleasant to work with. He is new to the area, and needs to get the word out. I would highly recommend him."

"It was the best service I got for a long time. He exceeded my expectation. He taught me to be cost efficient and he answers a lot of my questions. I would definitely use the service again. He quote me that it would be done in 3 days and he finished in a day and a half days. I like how quick and clean his work. He checked everything and he was thorough."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

If you have wood decking, there are several common deck problems that you might encounter. For example, your natural wood boards may fade over time due to things like sunlight, weather, and debris. On top of that, some types of wood decking can rot, grow mold, and attract destructive pests—including termites, carpenter ants, and woodpeckers.

Most gutter painting pros also specialize in complete home exterior painting. You may save by making your gutter painting part of the cost to paint the exterior of a house in its entirety. Many people have all parts of their home exterior painted simultaneously to keep everything looking equally fresh. Consider having walls, trim, porches, shutters, and doors painted as well.

Adding a second coat of stain to wood can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.

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. 

An exterior paint job typically lasts between 5 and 10 years, though this can range from 3 to 17 years depending on several factors. The longevity is influenced by the quality of the paint and primer, the quality of the application, the local climate, and the type of surface being painted. For example, paint on wood siding may need to be redone every 3 to 7 years, while painted brick can last up to 17 years. Aluminum siding often needs repainting every 5 years.
