"Everything about our experience with Five Star Painting was top notch. We were contacted right away after having been referred to them. A project manager was scheduled to visit our home understand and quote our project in a very timely manner. The proposal was received quickly, and the project manager called me to discuss and clarify all details. The scheduling process was prompt and clear. The painters arrived on time and did an absolutely 100% FIVE STAR job. We will use Five Star Painting for all our future needs, and although it may clog up their schedule, we highly recommend Five Star Painting to everyone. We could not be more pleased with the results, and are enjoying our refreshed, updated spaces like never before!"

"Very thorough during the bid process to determine scope of work. Happy they used Sherwin Williams super paint. They completed a 1100 sq ft ranch with 2 coats in a day. Also helped me scrape and paint a garage in another day. Good site cleanup."

"The crew worked together to power wash, scrape, sand and paint my deck. It had multiple layers that needed to be removed. It took place from start to finish over 5 days, with 3 to 4 men working. I'm very happy with the results."

"Nick refinished the maple cabinets and doors in our kitchen. Our house is just over 20 years old now, so the cabinets and doors had an expected amount of wear and were starting to look pretty bad. Nick removed all of the old finish, made minor repairs and sanded where necessary, then he did his magic so that now we have new white cabinetry that looks like we bought new. Nick is very thorough and explains what he is going to do before he does it, so there is a good level of comfort there. We're happy to show off our cabinets and would recommend Nick to others!"

"Garrett and his crew were professional, dependable, punctual, and friendly. They handled the expected and unexpected aspects of the job well. Overall, I am very pleased with Two-Day Painting and their work. I should have done a better job inspecting before they left on the final day, or asked if I could have waited until the next day (and seen my rooms in daylight). There was one area that needed touching up that I had to take care of, but I didn't notice until after they left. There were also things I noticed upon seeing areas in the daylight that I was not expecting. I'm sure if I would have seen and asked upon inspection they would have taken care of my concerns."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

A wood deck requires annual cleaning and regular inspections for loose or broken boards, nails, and screws. It should be refinished by applying a stain or sealer every two to three years to protect the wood from water damage, rot, mildew, and sun fading. The exact frequency can depend on the climate and the deck's exposure to sun and moisture. If your deck is painted, it will need repainting approximately every 10 years. Signs that your deck needs refinishing include faded, splintering, or warping boards.

It’s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that’s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat. 

A properly applied coat of stain will last between 3 and 8 years, depending on your climate. If you live in a place where your fence experiences a lot of moisture or high heat, your stain will last for a shorter period than in more temperate conditions. We recommend reapplying stain every 3 to 5 years to keep your wood in good condition.

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

You can paint over old paint on a concrete porch. For the best results, you should first clean the surface and remove as much paint as you can. A power washer is helpful here, but you’ll also want to scrape as much of the old paint away as possible. Then you should prime the porch before repainting it.
