"Trim Line Painting quickly responded to my request for External House Painting quote. I selected them (from multiple quotes) because they had experience with staining a cedar structure, their price was fair, they provided references and photos of previous clients. Glen (owner), was very good about letting me know the scheduling of my project and when he would be on site. This was a great experience and I highly recommend your consider Trim Line Painting for your next project!"

"Project went as scheduled from start to finish. These guys should be on anyone's short if you are looking for a painter. Mario provided a very reasonable cost estimate to paint the exterior of my home. He was very easy to work with and scheduled the work as promised and minimal impact on our schedule. He is very knowledgeable and makes helpful recommendations. His work crew worked long days to finish the work as soon as possible. They did excellent work on the cleaning, prep and painting of the house."

"Leo came out within one business day of our initial contact to give me a quote and just a few days later was back with his team to start work. My deck is a second story deck with a plywood platform that they tore down, painted & replaced in 1 day in addition to replacing the steps on my stairs. When they came back, the team put 2 coats of a rubber coating on the surface of the deck, built & installed wooden shutters. The next day they started knocking out my new Trex railing system around the deck & stairs. Throughout the project & at the end of each day, Unique kept the workplace clean (the deck is over my driveway), I was able to park in it each time after they left which I really appreciated. Leo stuck to his quote, called to let me know when they were on their way, Leo & his team members were very polite & worked hard to knock out my project in 2 1/2 days whereas another contractor who was working alone quote $1500 more and a time estimate of 4 weeks. Not only would I hire them again but I have already gotten a quote to do matching railing on my concrete porch steps, which they will do as soon as the materials arrive, and in a few months Iâ ll have them back to retile around my fireplace. Very satisfied with the work, the speed & the team."

"Super quick to reply and get onsite. Spectacular Job. Jonathan really knows what he is doing when it comes to carpentry. Sylvia is fantastic to work with as well. I could not be happier. I had a one-off request to have them build removable Wood Wall Dividers. They saved me in a last minute pinch. Reasonably priced. Will definitely use again."

"We contracted with Keith and Jared this Spring to paint our home and out buildings exterior after seeing the job they did on our neighbors home. We could not be happier with their work. They went out of their way to make sure everything was done correctly and to our satisfaction. They were also a pleasure to work with! If you are looking for a first class paint job on your property, you’ll not find a better team! I give them a triple A rating!!!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can waterproof any wood that has not already been treated. A good way to test this is to splash some water on it. If the water starts to bead up, the wood is treated and most likely doesn’t need another coating.

Exterior paints contain more volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, making them dangerous when used indoors. Without the free ventilation of the great outdoors, it can take longer for the fumes to dissipate than interior paint. While you may notice the smell lessening more quickly, you should be wary of paint fumes inside for 48 to 72 hours after it dries.

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.

When choosing between deck stain or paint, knowing what will last longer is important. Deck paint lasts longer than deck stain. With deck paint, you can get up to 10 years of coverage before you need to reapply. With deck stain, that time is significantly shorter at two to three years

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.
