"Christian and Nico show tremendous attention to detail in their work which results in a truly professional finished product. Their prices are well below the quality of their work. Additionally, they were very responsive to questions and moving things around some changes to my schedule. I called around to 5 different painting companies when getting quotes, don't waste your time and just reach out to Painting Plus first."

"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."

"I had decided to save money by painting my upstairs by myself, and after painting just one bedroom, I decided to hire an actual professional. Marshall Painting was very accommodating with my schedule and the price was very reasonable. It took them a fraction of the time to do the rooms and stairway, whereas it took me 4 days for one room. While I had wasted time second guessing myself or trying to cover up crayon on the wall, they were experienced and got it right the first time instead of wasting time and effort like me. They painted the bedroom doors and trim I was sure we'd have to replace and patched up some holes in the walls. They were methodical in their set-up and clean up, so no paint drips or flecks anywhere (unlike myself). I felt comfortable with them in my home, friendly but not overtly to the point of awkward conversation that I worry about whether I'm paying them for that time or not. There was no loud music or heavy workboots staining the carpet. When we paint the rest of the house, we will certainly be calling them."

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. 

The best way to protect a deck is to prevent damage from UV light, water, mold, mildew, insects, and abrasive cleaning methods. Sweep regularly to prevent debris that hides bugs and traps moisture that can result in mold or mildew growth. Use a deck cleaner once a year to remove algae, mold, and mildew. Avoid using pressure washers on high, as they can damage the wood. Applying a deck sealant can protect the wood from UV and water damage, and adding shade can also reduce sunlight damage.

Liquid rubber is great for waterproofing, but it can damage your deck if it’s not applied correctly. First, it can trap moisture in the wood if the deck isn’t completely dry before application.  Second, applying it too thickly can create a heavy, rubbery surface layer that peels and cracks under fluctuating temperatures. For the best results, ensure the wood is completely dry before application, and apply the liquid rubber in thin, even coats. A quick inspection every now and then will help you catch any issues early, keeping your deck protected and looking its best.

No, it is not okay to paint over rotted wood. Painting over rotted wood will not address the underlying issue and can trap moisture, leading to further decay. Properly addressing the rotted wood by removing and replacing or repairing the damaged areas is necessary before you can even consider painting.
