"We hired Alex to pressure wash our deck, patio roof, driveway, and wooden gate. He was thorough and efficient, and worked with great care and attention to detail. We’re glad to have these problem areas look like new again. Highly recommended!"

"Christian and Nicolas did a very lovely, precise painting of my precarious interior stairwell area. They chose high quality paint that covered well, there were no drips left over, and they did a great job cleaning up afterward. Their mood was happy and they were courteous and professional to work with."

"Cleantastic Cleaning Services went beyond expectations. They got there early and stayed all day and got my house remove in ready for the new buyers. I’ve spent the past year trying to get harsh water taken off the shower glass door. Well they did some type of magic and got it ALL OFF. My husband didn’t know if the door was open or closed, it was that spotless. Communication was fantastic as well. 10/10 would recommend and hire again ."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Staining pressure-treated wood is a recommended practice. While inherently resilient, it's not impervious to moisture and UV exposure. Staining treated wood is feasible and recommended for enhanced protection and longevity. Applying stain and sealant safeguards against degradation, prolonging its life span. These measures shield the wood from environmental threats while augmenting its aesthetic appeal, ensuring your investment endures the test of time.

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths

The best temperature to paint a pool deck is between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit, because many paints and sealers require temperatures warm enough for the chemical reaction to take place for proper curing. The paint should not be allowed to freeze, and temperatures above 90 degrees can cause the paint to dry too quickly, also preventing the chemical reaction from following through to completion.

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.
