"Stained our cedar wood fence. Went above and beyond to repair broken/missing cedar planks. Washed, primed and stained the fence. Reasonably priced. Highly recommended."

"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."

"These guys were absolutely great! I’m pretty picky and they exceeded my expectations. I had the exterior of my home painted last week and it looks fabulous. They caulked, caulked, and then caulked some more. The trim and ceiling lines were very clean. House was sprayed and back rolled (the proper way to do it). The whole crew was very friendly and trustworthy. I had some small plants started near the house and they didn’t accidentally step on a single one, even I stepped on one a few weeks ago. When it was time for the final walkthrough, there was one tiny little spot they missed, that’s it. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone and if I ever need to have paint done again, this is who I would hire. Quality work is hard to come by these days, and they are top notch."

"Rosario with Authentic Coatings was very conscientious and customer service oriented. We have a large 3 story house on a steep lot and he painted it all with ease. He exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend him and his company to anyone needing high quality exterior painting."

"Alex was right on time every time that we made an arrangement. He kept in touch by text very efficiently. He did the job very well and stayed at my house until the job was finished, about 6pm at night. He gave me a set price and did not charge by the hour. He cleaned up well after painting."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.

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.

Satin paint is generally considered a better choice for woodwork—including trim, baseboards, cabinets, and doors—than flatter finishes like eggshell or matte. Its soft sheen enhances architectural details and stands up well to frequent cleaning and daily wear. Compared to eggshell and matte finishes, satin is more durable for high-touch areas because it is less porous and doesn't absorb dirt as easily. Matte finishes, in particular, are prone to scuffs and are harder to clean, making them less practical for surfaces like doors and cabinets.
