Customers say: Quality work

"Roman did a great job painting our house. We needed a lot of "touch up" painting due to contractor work that damaged our siding. Roman caulked everything, painted it, and took time to make sure it all looks great. We ended up having to paint a much larger section because the pain had faded. But Roman figured out how to solve that problem and it looks really good. It took longer than he had expected, but he stuck to his original quote. I'd highly recommend Roman."

"David Hitchman painted our six unit condos and waterproofed our decks. He was thorough in his preparation and exacting in his painting and waterproofing . And he delivered exactly as he indicated in his bid. In fact, I have hired him, independently from the HOA, to paint my bedroom. I highly recommend him to other clients."

"Crossroads Painters did a wonderful job washing and painting my home! Sonny and his crew were professional, efficient, and skillful. The job was competitively priced and worth every penny. There was clear communication throughout the process and every detail was carefully seen to. They?ll be my first choice when I?m ready to have the interior done :)"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, you must thoroughly clean your deck before staining. If you don't, dirt, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped between the wood and the new stain. This not only looks unsightly but also prevents the stain from penetrating the wood properly, reducing its ability to protect the deck from weather and UV rays. As a result, the stain won't last as long or look as good. Any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning for the wood to dry completely before applying stain.

The opposite is actually true: Wood stains tend to appear lighter when they’re fully dry. However, stains may darken as they weather and oxidize with age. Stains might also darken on surfaces left in direct sunlight, as UV rays can break down pigment particles and cause them to darken over time.

For homes in areas with extreme weather, high heat, or intense sun exposure, high-quality acrylic paint is the best option. Acrylic paint is durable, resistant to both heat and cold, and provides a protective barrier with excellent UV resistance. For best results, look for acrylics that contain natural earth pigments, which are better suited for resisting sun damage. While oil-based paint is also durable, it can be prone to fading in high heat and can become too viscous to apply easily in cold temperatures. Additionally, choosing a neutral or light color like gray, beige, or white can help, as these colors absorb less heat than darker shades.

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.

A wood deck requires annual cleaning and regular inspections for loose or broken boards, nails, and screws. It should be refinished by applying a stain or sealer every two to three years to protect the wood from water damage, rot, mildew, and sun fading. The exact frequency can depend on the climate and the deck's exposure to sun and moisture. If your deck is painted, it will need repainting approximately every 10 years. Signs that your deck needs refinishing include faded, splintering, or warping boards.
