"This was a deck re-stain 3 years after a complete exterior house/deck painting job, so we are repeat customers. As before, they provided solid advice, firm quote, used quality materials, workers showed up on time with COVID masks. Very nice work on both prep [power wash] and stain, two coats applied accurately, and nice job of cleanup. These folks do an excellent job, as I see fall/winter rain hitting the deck I am especially glad we had it done right."

"Outstanding! Rob Potts (the owner) and his team were easy to work with while getting estimates, scheduling work and completing the fence staining project. Everyone on their team was hard working, very helpful, paid attention to detail and did a superb job! They stained my home fence and also stained the common area fence for our HOA. I highly recommend Potts Painting and would definitely hire them again."

"I am so pleased with my experience with Hedlund Painting. I contacted Zakary to repair trim / banister damage from an anxious puppy, as well as paint my kitchen cabinets and walls. I could not be happier with the result. Micah, the project manager, was on-time, detail-oriented, and caring in my home. I really appreciated how he stayed on top of the project, and that the project completed on time. I also want to credit the MASTERFUL painter/carpenter, Jesus, who painted our kitchen to PERFECTION and MASTERFULLY repaired our trim / banisters. I could not be happier with the outcome. Jesus was meticulous, skilled, polite, on-time, and a general delight to have in our home. I could not recommend Zakary, Micah, and Jesus enough - I will definitely be reaching out to Hedlund again for future home projects."

"The team painted the outside of my house as well as all of my interior trim and a few rooms. In addition, they stained an outside area and deck ceilings. Exceptional work and professionalism. They were focused on providing the best service and I couldn't have been more pleased with the results. Highly recommend this company for your painting needs!"

"This company did a great job painting the exterior of my house. The original paint was in bad shape and they took time to properly pressure wash and prep the house before painting. They worked very quickly and were done much faster than I thought they would be. They also did a good job cleaning up the area after they were done. They were very professional and did a great job communicating with me."

"We hired Alex and his team to stain our monster of a deck. Alex is very professional! He was always reassuring me that his main priority was that I would be happy in the end. Whenever there was a concern On the project, he consulted me to make sure that I would be happy with the solution. The quality of their work and the speedy process of their work is incredible. There are a few minor imperfections here and there on the project but for the price it was well worth the investment. I m just glad I didn t have to stain this monster of a deck myself LOL. His attention to detail was great! I will definitely hire him again in the future for other painting projects :)"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

There’s no single paint that’s the most waterproof. Instead, there are several types of waterproof and water-resistant paints that suit different purposes. Epoxy paint, for instance, is commonly used to provide a waterproof coating to floors and decks. Masonry paint is an excellent choice for exterior walls. Meanwhile, there are waterproof acrylic paints that can be used for interior and exterior walls. It’s more about choosing the best type for what you’re painting instead of the most waterproof paint overall.

The need for a topcoat on a painted deck depends on various factors, primarily the type of paint used and your desired level of protection. Many premium deck paint formulations are self-sealing, eliminating the necessity for an additional topcoat. These paints often have built-in additives that substantially protect against moisture, UV rays, and everyday wear and tear.

Two coats of stain are ideal for the best protection and aesthetic appeal. However, if your decking is made of particularly dense hardwood, you may only need one coat. If you want an intense color, two coats are ideal.

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.

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.
