"Tavish, Seiria, and Josh were great to work with. We recently bought a new house and wanted to paint it so it would feel fresh and truly ours. We had a set budget from the beginning with very little wiggle room, and Tavish really worked with us to come up with a plan that fit exactly what we needed while staying within budget. They were very responsive and finished everything within the timeline they gave us. Seiria was also incredibly helpful when it came to choosing colors for the house. The final result was exactly what we wanted, and we’re extremely happy with how everything turned out. We’d recommend them without hesitation and will definitely be using them again in the future. Great people with a great work ethic!"

"I was very pleased with my services! JD painted 2 rooms in my home and pressure washed my deck, sidewalks, driveway and exterior of my 2 story home. JD gave me a free estimate on all work and completed the work in a very professional and timely manner. He was very reasonable priced and I look forward to having him back in the spring to complete the exterior painting of my home! I will be recommending his services to all my friends and family!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

You’ll need to wait until the surface is completely dry, which can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours under optimal conditions. The waiting period depends on several factors, including the type of siding and the weather conditions. Trying to paint before the surface is completely dry can trap moisture under the paint, leading to bubbling, blistering, and mold growth.

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.

The best paint for an older deck depends on the material and whether or not your deck already has a coat of paint. Generally, if your deck already has paint on it, you should choose the same type of paint when repainting the deck. For example, if an old deck has oil-based paint on it, stick with oil; if your deck has water-based paint, choose water-based paint. 

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.
