"I am going to give a 5 star rating, and we did not even hire him for the job. Our decision was almost entirely based on timing issues. However, of the companies we contacted, Brett's customer care was by far the most efficient. His communication was clear, and his response times were top notch!"

"Jake was hired by my landlord to paint our entire building, including my restaurant. He did a really good job painting, including realizing there was brick and Foundation damage. He contacted the landlord who contacted the contractor and had another company come out and fix the bricks and Foundation, so he could then finish his painting. He did a very good job and a very thorough job in a quick amount of time so that my restaurant did not have to close down for two many hours or days"

"The people at Classic Finishes were professional and flexible. I had a short time frame to get my new home painted after the closing, but before moving in, and the were able to accommodate that. They were friendly and helpful, and their work was not only quick, but more importantly, it was very well done! I couldnâ t be happier!"

"I had my barn power wash, sand, and painted, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. From the very beginning, they were professional, punctual, and extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to carefully sand down the rough and weathered areas. The paint job was excellent . The barn looks brand better than I ever imagined. What really stood out to me was how communicative and helpful he wasthroughout the entire process. Every question I had was answered with patience and clarity, and I always felt informed and confident in the work being done. If you’re looking for someone who takes pride in their work and truly cares about customer satisfaction, I highly recommend!"

"I recently hired AM Spraypainting and Ernesto to paint the exterior of my 1904 three-story cedar sided house. Their quoted amount was about in the middle of the pack. They did an excellent job scraping, repairing rotted wood, caulking, and priming. They did an excellent job applying the paint and painting the trim. There are a lot of companies out there that want to charge exorbitant prices, but I don’t think they would provide as good of a paint job, and likely not as good. In fact, my neighbor paid more for another company and did not get nearly as thorough of a job. I’ve had several neighbors comment on how good it looks and ask for Ernesto’s number. In addition, the communication was excellent, the people were polite and cleaned up, and they got the whole job done in about two weeks. I highly recommend!"

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

There’s no single paint that’s the most waterproof. Instead, there are several types of waterproof and water-resistant paints that suit different purposes. Epoxy paint, for instance, is commonly used to provide a waterproof coating to floors and decks. Masonry paint is an excellent choice for exterior walls. Meanwhile, there are waterproof acrylic paints that can be used for interior and exterior walls. It’s more about choosing the best type for what you’re painting instead of the most waterproof paint overall.

You don’t necessarily have to remove all the old paint before repainting your deck, but it’s best to remove as much as possible to ensure a smooth and long-lasting finish. Prioritize scraping off loose, peeling, or flaking paint, and sand down rough areas to create a smooth surface for the new paint to bond with.

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.

Always wait until the morning dew has dried before you stain your deck. The stain needs a fully dry surface to sink into.
