"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."
"Davidâ s expertise and professionalism resulted in a wonderful renewed large 2-level outside deck. He pressure washed and repaired the deck and stairs as well as advise me in the choices and quality of the stain that he applied. I have another project scheduled with him later this Fall and one yet to be scheduled next Summer. He is helpful in assessing all of the options available which helps moving forward in confidence with a project."

"K & B Solutions from Bremerton remodeled our kitchen and master bathroom. We liked K & Bâ s firm bid that was so reasonable. This company has, without a doubt, the best craftsmen, and weâ ve had lots of contractors work on our houses over the years. Their work is unbelievable! Bill can fix anything!! They were in our home for quite a while, and we were comfortable leaving them here while we were gone. We could not recommend them more highly. And one additional note â in the following months a couple little things have popped up, and Bill is right back to ensure we are completely satisfied. Yes, they are backed up with work, but WELL WORTH the wait."

Opt for an interior wood stain that is rated for your type of wood. Consider your personal style preferences as well as the overall use of the room when choosing a color. Remember, the color you see at the store may look different on your actual floors once applied. This is why if you have the chance, it’s helpful to test a few options on a scrap piece of wood in the room first. Once you narrow it down, you can test a small patch on an inconspicuous area in the room to see it on the actual floors.
DIY is possible but presents risks of uneven surfaces or improper adhesion; professionals offer expertise to ensure a lasting finish.
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.
Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.
Routine cleaning, sealing/staining, and inspection prolong deck life and appearance.
