"This was a deck re-stain 3 years after a complete exterior house/deck painting job, so we are repeat customers. As before, they provided solid advice, firm quote, used quality materials, workers showed up on time with COVID masks. Very nice work on both prep [power wash] and stain, two coats applied accurately, and nice job of cleanup. These folks do an excellent job, as I see fall/winter rain hitting the deck I am especially glad we had it done right."

"Potts painting was great. They painted the exterior of my house and the following year I hired them to paint the full interior. Rob the owner did not hesitate to address a bubbling problem with the new finish on the exterior in spots due to the old stain."

"The painters arrived when they said they would on both days. I left to go to work. On the first day they caulked and fixed all the holes and baseboard corners. They also draped all the furniture with plastic and covered the floors with canvass coverings. When I arrived home after work the painters had just sprayed the ceiling and finished priming the doors. They finished the job on the second day. All evidence of their presence was gone when I arrived home. The job was done well. The men were courteous and professional. I have no complaints.

"Jerry and his crew did first rate work. Never having painted the exterior of my Old Tacoma home (not since I've moved in), I didn't understand the intricacies of painting an old home with a different siding than the current siding available in new homes. Jerry was able to suggest not only the best colors for this type of home and weather conditions, but the specific type of paint that would last the longest in our wet Pacific Northwest. The job was done both quickly (the painting began on the first nice day following our agreement) and was completed within a few days. There was rain following the first day of painting and a little of the paint dripped making for an unsightly line in the wall. I left Jerry an email then followed up the next day with a call only to find out that his men had come early that morning and fixed the drip. The house has now been painted for a few days and it looks excellent! I couldn't be happier and would recommend Jerry and his crew to anyone. I have a fairly large exterior and found Jerry's pricing very competitive."

"This was one of the best "for hire" experiences I've had. A few weeks before the job was done I reached out to Daniel and he was incredibly responsive and flexible with scheduling a time to review the deck. He didn't want to give an inaccurate quote before reviewing the deck which I appreciated, as I had a few quotes that were way over his and a few that were under. That said, Daniel was so responsive and honest that I decided to go through him. My roof was ~350 sq. ft. or so and it took him 2 different days to complete. One day to power wash (a few hours) and a few days after he (and another NW Paint Guy employee) came to sand/stain. He also showed up at my house at 9am sharp both days (also exactly what he told me). The overall experience was top notch and would definitely hire Daniel and his team again. In fact, I referred him to a few of our close neighbors who have decks as they commented on the quality."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

It's okay to walk on a newly painted deck after about four to six hours as long as the weather has been dry. Be sure to wait at least 24 hours before you place any outdoor furniture or grills on a freshly painted deck, though.

Whether you can paint over your existing paint depends on what’s on there. Most of the time, you’ll want to sand down or scrape off the paint that’s currently coating your surface. Epoxy paint, for example, won’t let new paint stick to the surface. Latex paint is more forgiving and will accept a new coat, but a primer is recommended if you’re switching colors.

Yes, beginners can use a paint sprayer, but there is a learning curve. It's important to go slowly, read the instructions thoroughly, and spend some time learning the technique. Watching tutorial videos for your specific paint sprayer model can be very helpful. Before starting your main project, practice on a scrap surface to get used to the sprayer and avoid common issues like overspraying, which can cause drips, bubbles, and other imperfections. For safety, always wear a mask and gloves, and be careful not to touch the sprayer's tip when it's in use, particularly with high-powered airless sprayers.

The best time to paint your deck is when temperatures are neither too cold (below 60 degrees) nor too hot (above 85 degrees). Always paint your deck when there’s no risk of rain. For fast-drying paint like acrylic or latex, ensure your deck can dry for at least four hours. Oil-based paints take longer to dry and may require 48 hours to completely cure.

The best paint for an older deck depends on the material and whether or not your deck already has a coat of paint. Generally, if your deck already has paint on it, you should choose the same type of paint when repainting the deck. For example, if an old deck has oil-based paint on it, stick with oil; if your deck has water-based paint, choose water-based paint.
