"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."

"Dale Painting was OUTSTANDING! I'd hire them again in a millisecond. They prepared a highly detailed bid that addressed all of my issues and put me at ease. Their price was lower than 5 of 6 companies I had bid on the job. They expertly helped me pick out the final colors that made feel comfortable going forward. They emptied all kitchen cabinets and removed many wall hangings and put them back exactly where they came from! And last but not least the finished painting job of all walls and ceilings looked superb. Excellent paint coverage, perfectly straight lines when abutting the ceiling or cabinets...no overspill. No paint drops or microsplaters anywhere. They totally covered all furnishings in plastic and taped ground cloth paper that couldn't move to the floor...very impressive. And to top it off they left me the unused paint in each of the five colors in case I need to do touch-ups down the road. 110% satisfaction with every single aspect of the job."

"Nick was honest about what to expect. Wear is showing after a couple winters But he did a great job. My deck looked beautiful when it was done. He also did several other painting projects on the exterior that turned out better than I could imagine."

"It went very well. They were efficient and came prepared to complete the work we needed done. We love our new fan...its so quiet and does a great job removing the moisture out of the air. The toilet they fixed was an after thought but they ran and got the needed parts and fixed it right away. Im thankful your site lead us to H&S! I will be calling them again when we need help with a repair."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Deck staining or painting safeguards wood against the elements through its protective layer, enhancing decay resistance, prolonging structural integrity, and improving visual appeal.

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

The staining or painting process involves cleaning the deck, sanding surfaces, applying a primer (if needed), and carefully applying stain or paint for an even, lasting finish.

Hot, intense sunshine can cause your stain to dry too quickly, which could lead it to look uneven or patchy. If you’re staining the deck during hotter months, it’s best to do it in the morning or evening once the wood has had time to cool down. If you’re staining in cooler weather with less sunshine, the time of day won’t make as much of a difference.

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.
