"5 Star is GREAT! They pressure washed first, painted everything, underneath eaves, downspouts, attached bench & shed, all the trim. We had 2 basic colors and a 3rd color trim, and they did it all, pressure washing & all painting, in 4 days. They repainted the door when we changed our minds, they bent over backwards to make everything good. Hire Shad and Austin at 5 Star any time you can."

"

Our 70-year old home was looking quite sad with paint peeling on every side, rotten boards, and a general sense of neglect. We were unsure of what could be done to get it back into shape.

Of all the paint contractors we contacted (5 in total), Tyler from Shades of Rose put us most at ease. His bid was very competitive for the amount of work and he was honest, straight-forward, and patient with whatever questions we had. His crew arrived on time every day, were courteous and professional, and cleaned up thoroughly every day. They even removed and reinstalled our crazy storm windows without a complaint - which was a herculean task (Tyler said afterwards that they were the most difficult the team ever had to deal with).

At the end of the last day when we had our final walk around, I was amazed at the transformation of our house. I think Shades of Rose did a tremendous job and I am thankful that we invested in them. Also outstanding was Tyler's reassurance that they would come out to fix up anything that bugged us over the next few weeks. We also have a 3-year warranty and the crew will come out if there are any issues over that time frame.

I would definitely recommend Shades of Rose and I look forward to working with them again in the future.

"Perfect! Bruce and Seth were both very professional and experienced. Bruce was prompt and great at communicating. Bruce was able to explain the different paint products and help us make the right for our house. The house looks incredible. We would definitely hire them again and highly recommend their services!"

"Bruce and Seth did an excellent job painting my house from prep to paint to clean-up. They not only paint but do needed repairs. Most painters just want to paint and move on. Bruce gives a warranty on his work, and his price is very reasonable. I plan on hiring him to paint another house next year. I recommend Bruce W. Nichols Painting whole heartedly."

"We had our home repainted in July of 2026 after 32 years, and we could not be happier with the work done by Five Star Homes! We requested quotes from five different companies, but Travis really took the time to make a thorough examination of the condition of our home. Because this company does more to fix houses than just paint them, he recommended some repair to our siding, specifically to replace the lowest boards with Hardie board, which is much more durable than other materials and will stand up to wet Washington conditions. Travis answered all of our questions. Five Star was a clear choice. Our decision was not made on price, but on the confidence that the repairs and painting would be done professionally and with respect for our property. David’s team worked very quickly and covered our trees, bushes and windows as needed. The rains were coming, so they returned as soon as the weather was dry and finish the job. Five Star definitely lives up to its name!"

"Elias Contruction provided a detailed estimate after inspecting the roof and making some qualified recommendations. The project required a few change orders that were not clarified in writing. I would recommend hiring Elias if you get changes in writing. They cleaned up pretty well although they missed a few things due to finishing in the dark. Overall satisfied with the job and cost was 60% of other bids due to sheathing adjustment."

"Hire this team to paint for you! Having people you don't know work on the inside of your house can be daunting. I have a large square footage home that needed interior painting and stain match on a custom remodel. I am fussy and this team not only made me feel very comfortable having them in my home, but their attention to detail was what I needed. Although I could only budget for 1/2 the house to be done in the initial painting, I have scheduled for the 2nd half to be done when the weather turns in the fall. I n't be more pleased. Neat and clean. Personable and professional. So thankful that they were recommended to me."

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

You don't need to seal your deck after painting it because most exterior paints are waterproof and weather-resistant. While stealing is not necessary, it can add an additional layer of protection.

Deciding whether to stain or paint a pool deck depends on your budget, desired look, and the deck's material. Both options can work. Paint offers a wider variety of color options, provides excellent water resistance, and can last longer. However, it requires a primer and can eventually fade or peel. Stain is often cheaper, easier to apply, and penetrates the wood for a more natural look and longer-lasting finish. It also has great water resistance. The downsides are fewer color options and the need for a sealant. The choice can also depend on the deck material; for example, staining may be a better option for concrete as it bonds well and lasts longer than paint.

It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the deck refinishing process. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.
