"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."

"I called Eric Peters based on an Angie's List review.  I was living with a screened porch which was cedar board finished and had been stained a horrible orange color, due to my own mistake.  I wanted it undone.  As with the other estimators I talked to, Eric pointed out that it would be nigh impossible to remove the previous stain, and difficult to cover it.  We agreed we'd like to preserve the nice grain of the wood, while "getting the orange out".  Eric worked with me very patiently during the next month or so, to find a product which would result in a porch surface I could live with.  Once the decision was made, Eric's employee arrived promptly and applied 2 coats to the walls and ceiling areas, pretty effectively removing the orange glow of the previous stain.  Furniture and screens were carefully moved, and the brush stain job was very neat.

"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

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.

Whether you can paint over your existing paint depends on what’s on there. Most of the time, you’ll want to sand down or scrape off the paint that’s currently coating your surface. Epoxy paint, for example, won’t let new paint stick to the surface. Latex paint is more forgiving and will accept a new coat, but a primer is recommended if you’re switching colors.

It’s a good idea to sand your porch before painting. This will remove loose or chipped paint and debris, and give you a cleaner surface so that your new paint goes on smoothly. But if the existing surface is in good condition, it’s not necessary to sand your porch before you paint.

The plastic in composite decking boards protects them enough that you do not need to paint them to prevent warping. In fact, painting composite decking voids the warranty of some manufacturers. Painting can also increase maintenance on the deck, as you must paint regularly to keep it looking its best.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.
