"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

Deciding whether to stain or paint a pool deck depends on your budget, desired look, and the deck's material. Both options can work. Paint offers a wider variety of color options, provides excellent water resistance, and can last longer. However, it requires a primer and can eventually fade or peel. Stain is often cheaper, easier to apply, and penetrates the wood for a more natural look and longer-lasting finish. It also has great water resistance. The downsides are fewer color options and the need for a sealant. The choice can also depend on the deck material; for example, staining may be a better option for concrete as it bonds well and lasts longer than paint.

Beyond liquid rubber, homeowners can use sealants, stains, membranes, or tapes as waterproofing options. Oil-based or water-based sealants soak into the wood, creating a moisture-resistant barrier. Waterproofing stains—available in transparent, semi-transparent, and solid colors—add both protection and style to your deck. For heavy-duty waterproofing, deck membranes and waterproof tapes can be applied under the deck boards to direct water away from the structure below. Whatever method you choose, clean and prep the deck first to ensure the best, longest-lasting results.

You can refresh a painted deck by either giving it a thorough cleaning or refinishing the deck altogether. Chipped or faded paint, as well as extensive damage, often calls for a new finish. To do this, remove the original coat of paint with a sander and add either a new coat of paint or a stain to protect the wood below.

Yes, it is important to wash your deck before painting to ensure the paint applies well and adheres properly. While you don't have to use a pressure washer, it is one of the most efficient cleaning methods. Pressure washing can quickly remove dirt, wood fibers, and flaked paint, getting deeper into the wood than manual scrubbing. You can also clean the deck with a stiff broom and a cleaning solution. Regardless of the method, a clean surface is essential for good paint adhesion. Make sure the deck is completely dry before applying any paint.

Yes, it is generally a very good idea to seal your deck after pressure washing. Power washing removes not only dirt and debris but also a thin layer of wood, leaving the surface exposed and more susceptible to weathering. Sealing is almost always needed after this process. After a general cleaning, sealing isn't automatically necessary if the existing sealant is still intact. You can test the surface by placing a few drops of water on it. If the water beads up, the sealant is working. If it soaks into the wood, it's time to apply a new sealant. If it has been a few years, it's wise to remove the old sealant, wash the deck, and reseal for maximum protection.
