"Aaron, Nathan, and their crew did a very thorough job with power washing our house and fence, caulking, and prep-work. They did a meticulous job painting the house and staining the fence. The team was costumer focused. We had a very positive experience with Priceless Painting Contractors."

"I can't say enough about Tad. I had a very unique project that I needed done and I couldn't seem to find anyone capable or willing to do the job. A family cabin/hunting shack on a small island in WI. Only way to get there was via boat. The cabin took on lots of damage from a tornado in 2017 and was never fixed correctly so the roof was leaking, boards were rotting, siding was pieced together, deck was rotten, floor was rotten and boards were moldy on the inside. I needed someone that was able to boat in supplies, materials and the river is very shallow at times so it requires a small boat, so lots of trips in and out with materials. I was looking everywhere and somehow found Tad's info but when I saw he was out of Bay City and the boat landing was 40 minutes away, I figured it was too far and didn't contact him. But my search at 11PM on Home Advisor had given Tad my information and the next morning, he called me. He was more than willing to check out the cabin and see if he was willing to take on the work. So, he met me at the boat landing a few weeks later when I could make it down there and he measured everything and said he would have a quote to me the same week, which he did. I didn't know what to expect as far as pricing but I can say for the amount of work he had to do to get materials in and out, it was certainly fair. The work he did was amazing. He replaced all the siding and stained it, put on a new tin roof, trim, new insulation, replaced all the moldy boards inside the cabin, repaired the rotten floor, put in a new floor, replaced the deck and will be back this spring/summer to stain it, fixed the picnic table. He did such a good job, I hired him to fix the boards on my deck in the twin cities and stain my deck which is over an hour from his house. Tad always responded to my emails quickly, my texts quickly and over the course of the months that the project took, I would say I consider Tad a friend. We text about hunting and other things. He is a really good guy, an extremely hard worker and articulate about his work. I intend to hire him again this summer for a couple small projects at the cabin and potentially to replace some flooring in our home. There isn't one thing I asked him if he could do, that he couldn't do and he never complained about any of it. He had to walk his boat up river many times to get through some of the shallow spots in the river. How he did some of the work by himself is beyond me. He had a helper for some of it but most of it he did on his own. I even stayed at the cabin with my 3 boys while he did some of the work and he worked around us, and the cabin is pretty small, 12'x20'. I highly recommend Tad to anyone who is looking to take on a project that they need help with!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

No, it is not okay to paint over rotted wood. Painting over rotted wood will not address the underlying issue and can trap moisture, leading to further decay. Properly addressing the rotted wood by removing and replacing or repairing the damaged areas is necessary before you can even consider painting.

It’s best to use an exterior latex acrylic paint to promote maximum adhesion to composite decking. This flexible paint type can better cope with the natural expansion and contraction that can occur with composite deck boards. Oil-based paints won’t adhere as effectively and are more likely to crack and peel as the boards flex. Testing whether your chosen paint will stick on an inconspicuous section or a spare board is a good idea.

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.

Pressure-treated wood lasts at least 10 years, but with the right care and treatment, it can last as long as 40 years. Painting the boards is one way to increase the lifespan of pressure-treated wood. The layer of paint provides extra protection for the wood against the exterior elements and insects.
