"I had College Works come out for a small project, just to stain my deck. I dealt with Alex who was nice and knowledgeable. I was impressed by his professionalism being as young as he was. Everything went smoothly, communication was great, his painting crew was top notch and the quality of the paint job was just what I expected. I would recommend College Works and would not hesitate to hire them again myself."

"Great. Eric Peters is very knowledgeable and a joy to work with. They use the best products to assure a long lasting finish, and applied very carefully to avoid splashing stain on siding. I would trust them with any painting project. I couldn't be happier with the result."

"Five Star Painting was highly efficient and helpful throughout the process. Their explanations of the process, information on the procedure and paint/ stain choice, flexible scheduling, commitment to follow agreed-upon schedules, were welcome. They delivered a fantastic product, this with minimal interference with our own life routine, and at a highly competitive cost. I would recommand them to anyone interested in outdoor or indoor painting services."

"Michael was very easy to get ahold of and responded with an estimate presented the next day. He started the job within 3 days and worked constantly for 2 days until the job was done. Covered all furniture and left the condo very clean. The paint job was great and would hire again."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, pressure-treated wood can occasionally turn green due to certain preservatives, such as copper-based chemicals, used during the treatment process. These chemicals react with the wood, creating a greenish tint. The good news? It's temporary, and the color will fade over time. Staining or painting can also help hide any unwanted hues.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.

You may be wondering: can you paint cement? Fortunately, the answer is yes.

To change the color of your cinder blocks, you have two options. You can either paint them or stain them. Either way, you'll be able to choose from a wide range of color options. Some popular colors for cinder block painting include off-white shades and gray tones, which add a modern spin to the traditional gray blocks.

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must. 

Ipe wood can last up to 75 years with minimal maintenance because its own oils help to preserve it. However, to get the most out of your Ipe wood deck, you should perform some routine maintenance, including regular cleaning, sweeping of leaves and debris, and rinsing spills with a hose. It’s also important to repair any deep scratches as soon as you spot them and reseal the deck annually to protect against scratches and scuffs.
