"Working with Terry and his staff was one of the smoothest and most satisfying experiences I’ve had with an Angi contractor. They showed up on time every time and did a great job painting the entire exterior of my home. I would recommend them for anyone looking ft or a painter. I will be contacting them again once I get going on the interior."

"Justin runs the show and is professional, polite and informative. Daniel, the painter, and his team were awesome. The quality of the paint was excellent as was his painting techniques and attention to detail. He caulked all cracks and even identified his own areas for touch up. Sergi (sp?) did the siding to the house, dry rot repair and a little fence work. Again, top notch. All siding and repairs were detailed, accurate and all caulking was excellent. All parties really ensured that no corners were cut! Very worth the price. The quality of work far surpasses the construction company that built the house. I will use them again for sure."

"Vadim, the owner of Pacific Pro Painting was very professional from the moment we met him while giving us an estimate throughout the course of our project. They were prompt and courteous. Vadim and David did an amazing job painting our two story house and staining the deck! They asked us to do walk arounds a few times to make sure everything looked ok. They didn t hesitate to make a change on my deck even though it meant the project would take longer. They worked 12 hours days until the project was completed. The final result exceeded our expectations! We couldn t be happier! I plan to hire Pacific Pro Painting for some interior painting next! For amazing results, don t hesitate to hire the professional, prompt crew at Pacific Pro Painting!!!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Rags used with oil-based stains are highly flammable and can spontaneously combust in the right conditions. To reduce the fire risk, throw them in a metal container after use and add rocks on top to secure them. Add an inch of water and seal the container. Take the rags in the container to a hazardous waste factory as soon as possible.

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. 

It is not always necessary to remove old stain before restaining a deck. If the previous stain is in good condition and is compatible with the new stain, you may be able to apply a new coat after thorough cleaning. However, if the old stain is in bad condition, flaking, or peeling, it is best to remove it completely to ensure an even surface and proper adhesion for the new coat. Staining over a damaged layer can lead to an uneven finish and poor penetration. For best results, test a small area first and consult the stain manufacturer's guidelines.

It’s often best to spray on deck sealer. Sprayers can apply sealant more quickly and evenly than rolling while still enabling you to reach tight spaces. When using a sprayer, always use a low-pressure setting at a close distance to ensure an even application. Avoid using sprayers on windy days.

No, you don't need to stain Ipe decking, although you can if you want to change the color. You will, however, need to apply a UV coating if you don't want the natural color to fade. Speak to a deck staining specialist near you to discuss the best options if you want to stain your decking. And remember that you’ll need to seal your Ipe wood deck annually to protect it from scratches and Mother Nature.
