"Owner, Russ, is thorough and professional. His team knows they are a team. I have used them for entire home and deck(s) painting/ staining, as well as interior painting. Everyone shows up, on time, as promised, and each team member acts in an efficient and professional manner. Preparation and clean up are both very thorough. They are on time and on budget. They do not waste any time/ hard working and no "flakes" ...felt really ok having them inside my home for the interior work. (If you are looking for a cheap spray-on, cheap paint product job, don't call them.) These are skilled professionals who stand behind their work, and don't cut corners."

"Mario was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the very beginning of the quoting process to finishing the deck staining, he was very professional, communicative, friendly, and did an amazing job. His pricing was more than reasonable and I look forward to working with his company again next year to repaint the exterior of my house."

"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."

"Responded to my emails in a timely manner. Showed up on time. Did it in the time they estimated. I didn't have enough stain so David let me know I could order it and they would pick it up. So I was able to order it at Home Depot in Snohomish and they picked it up for me so they could keep working."

"We worked with Ali (sales manager) and Tony (project manager), who took the time to design a project that made sense for our property and our budget, made a number of suggestions and recommendations and were never pushy or tried to "sell" us on something. The crew really went above and beyond to provide top quality workmanship and overall we were in very good hands. Highly recommended!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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

When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.

To make sure the paint won’t bubble as you apply it, make sure to paint on a day that’s cooler than 85 degrees Fahrenheit. When the temperature is too high, the paint won’t dry evenly, which can result in bubbles forming on the surface. Another way to prevent paint from bubbling is to clean the walls, apply primer, and let everything dry completely before you begin.

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

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.
