"They completed the job a week earlier than originally booked. They were easy to stay in contact with and very friendly. They were extremely considerate and careful of personal property. And best of all our house looks FANTASTIC! Truly fit for royalty (purple it is)."

"I hired Bruce for my new construction, interior and exterior. He exceeded our expectations. He kept in touch to ensure it was done in a timely manner and in the window we were wanting it. If fact we were so happy with the end result we hired him again for our rental unit. We even had new carpets installed the day before he arrived to paint (Due to a tight timeline) and after inspecting the house when he was finish you would have thought he painted before they were installed. I didn’t see a drop of paint on it. The rental looked just as good as our new build. We will continue to hire him for all our painting needs."

"Juan at Quality Choice Painting did a fantastic job. Juan and his crew were quick, professional and just did outstanding work. While pressure washing my deck he pointed out some weak wood boards. After discussing options with him he replaced the old wood with Trex. My new deck looks beautiful! If you want quality work done at a very reasonable prices than look no further than Quality Choice Painting."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

You should seal your deck every one to two years, but you’ll also need to clean and repair your wood deck throughout the seasons. You may want to hire a local house cleaning service to sweep and clean the deck thoroughly. These cleaning services cost around $50 per hour.

Inspect your deck at least once a year, and if you notice any damage or rot, expect to spend about $10 to $50 for simple DIY fixes or about $2,000 for professional repairs on more extensive damage.

Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years.

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.

Adding a second coat of stain to wood can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place.
