"Carlos and his team at Distinctive Enterprises & Painting, LLC recently painted the exterior and interior of our home, along with staining our deck railing and did an incredible job! They provided a thorough estimate and I was able to get all my questions answered along the way. Carlos was incredibly prompt and provided excellent communication the entire way. Prices were incredibly fair and the attention to detail he and his crew put in was evident. I would highly recommend the team at Distinctive Enterprises & Painting, LLC for any of your painting/staining needs! Thank you Carlos and team!"

"I couldn't be happier! We had some cedar siding around the garage door that looked horrible, rotted, warped etc. Sunshine Painting were the only company willing to replace the handful of boards. Other painting contractors just wanted to paint over it. The house and deck turned out great. The project took 3 days and the painters cleaned up at the end of each day."

"Sunshine Painting was hired to paint our house and re-finish the front door. Paul was a delight to work with. He is incredibly efficient and thorough in his work. His estimate was accurate and his work excellent. Paul finished the job in a week and cleaned up after himself beautifully. I would hire this company again without question. Hands down the best house painting experience we have ever had. It looks beautiful!!"

Customers say: True professional

"From working with Patty on the phone scheduling our job during Covid-19 to working with Shad and his crew, everyone has been exceptional and pleasant! On top of that, our home was treated with care as if it were their own. From power washing, caulking, to painting and staining, they took extreme care to not disturb our many plants or get paint/stain on anything other than where it belonged. I can not say enough about the friendliness and professionalism shown by the entire crew. Without a doubt, we would hire them again and highly recommend them for any paint work needed to be done, Several of our neighbors asked for business cards and we won't be surprised to see 5 Star in our neighborhood painting more homes!"

"I gave a couple calls at the end of September to remind him and he was able to fit us in, I think it was early October. I had high hopes after months of ugly, half scraped paint and their company seemed very professional, knowledgeable, and in demand. However, I think they sent their D team over to my house. They appeared to have a tarp blowing in the wind and some caution tape tied to a tree as their version of lead safe practice. They finished in one day and it was totally slap-shod with no caulking or siding repair, barely any scraping of paint chips that were falling off. We called them back and they re-did it (another half day) and it was only slightly better. To add insult to that they used flat paint when the previous paint had been satin. All the touch-ups they did all around the house look horrible. We will need to repaint the whole house to make it look right. Just yesterday, with the sun shining on the house, I could see white primer showing through where they painted. It all just seemed slap-shod with no sense of pride or integrity - just a quick buck. I feel like we were promised a rose garden and got the thorn instead.

"We requested quotes from four contractors to paint our single-level 1,300 square foot house and 8'x12' shed. Not only was Ric the only one to respond, but he emailed us less than an hour after we requested quotes and came over that same day...and it was on a Sunday. Talk about a great first impression! He sent his quote the very next day, and it was about what we expected to pay. We are very happy with the work that Ric and his crew did. Ric is very personable and professional. He listened to what we had to say, and made some recommendations such as caulking the siding where necessary, which we agreed to have him do. His crew came over a couple of days before they were scheduled to start work to pressure-wash our house and shed. The actual painting took only two days, and there is absolutely no overspray or paint drips on the concrete or on our deck. They cleaned up after themselves and the house looks brand new. We've already referred them to two friends who are thinking about having their houses painted next year."

"Vadim and Skavic take great pride in their work and are very proffessional. We had two very large Exterior Wood doors restored and re-stained. They communicated every step of the process well and clearly took a vested interest in the final result. They were incredibly respectful of our time and property and I would highly recommend them."

"Zachary responded to our request for a quote promptly and came out personally to take a look at what needed to be painted. He gave us a reasonable quote with no hidden fees. He and his assistant showed up a few minutes early on the agreed upon date with all needed supplies. They moved and draped furniture along with covering the flooring and carpet to prevent any damage. They were extremely neat and careful with everything. Zachary and his assistant worked together very professionally and did a beautiful job! When they were finished we were asked to come look at their work making sure that we were pleased before they took away all the protective draping and runners. We are so pleased with the workmanship and professionalism. We happily recommend Mi Caza LLC!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Staining a deck is typically less expensive upfront than painting. The cost to stain a deck professionally averages around $850, with most homeowners paying between $550 and $1,250, depending on the deck's size. A DIY staining project can cost less than $100. The cost to paint a deck ranges from $500 to $2,000. While the initial cost of staining is lower, it's important to consider long-term expenses. Paint can last up to 10 years, whereas stain needs to be reapplied every few years, which could lead to higher costs over time.

Beyond liquid rubber, homeowners can use sealants, stains, membranes, or tapes as waterproofing options. Oil-based or water-based sealants soak into the wood, creating a moisture-resistant barrier. Waterproofing stains—available in transparent, semi-transparent, and solid colors—add both protection and style to your deck. For heavy-duty waterproofing, deck membranes and waterproof tapes can be applied under the deck boards to direct water away from the structure below. Whatever method you choose, clean and prep the deck first to ensure the best, longest-lasting results.

Always sand a deck before repainting so the wood is smooth and ready for paint. While you do not need to fully remove paint before repainting, sanding helps remove any areas with weather and sun damage. Sanding also helps remove chipped or flaking paint and opens the wood pores to improve paint adhesion.

You’ll need to wait until the surface is completely dry, which can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours under optimal conditions. The waiting period depends on several factors, including the type of siding and the weather conditions. Trying to paint before the surface is completely dry can trap moisture under the paint, leading to bubbling, blistering, and mold growth.

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.
