"Thomas M was an excellent technician and did great work fixing all the basement windows around the house. These windows are difficult to find a replacement but he was able to repair and repaint them. The other technician was Pablo He worked on caulking all the windows around the house and he did some filling work on the garage sliding doors You did a good job, but Pablo left his trash around and didn’t pick up after himself so Thomas M and I did that on the third day. It took three days total, but it was two men for two days and one man for a 3/4 of a day actually. Although I’ll probably get charged for a full day, since it went past noon. The labor portion is the most expensive and a little higher than I initially anticipated. So, I was hoping for a quicker turnaround, but overall quality work was completed. I would highly recommend Thomas M as a technician to do future work. He’s very knowledgeable, friendly and does a great job. I would hire again but include more details in the contract language."

Our company is family owned and operated. We offer free estimates. Our prices are rarely beat and our work is of the best quality. We usually have between 4 and 10 employees depending on how busy we are at the time. We have no problem acquiring extra employees if needed for a larger job. We will also take sub-contract work from another company. We do not sub jobs out to other companies, but we will complete jobs for other companies that are looking to sub work out. We ask for one-third of the total price up front so that we know the customer is serious about getting the work done. With this money we will use it to buy necessary materials and supplies to complete the job. If the customer mentions that they found our company on Angie's List there will be a 10% discount applied to the asking price to complete the job.

"Spiro's Painting did a lovely job, and the porch now looks pristine and clean. Moreover, we no longer have to worry about the exposed wood on the posts and soffits as a result of peeling paint. There were a few hiccups with scheduling, but the team was efficient, tidy, and true to their word about the length of the job. I would definitely add our voice to so many others in recommending Spiro's Painting, and we'll certainly reach out to them in the future if we have other painting projects."

FAQs for deck staining or painting projects in Essex, MD

Staining a standard 500-square-foot deck takes about 20 hours, including preparation and application. This timeline ensures a thorough job that enhances your deck's appearance and durability. The process will take longer if you include additional treatments like sealing or stripping. Weather conditions, drying time, and deck design will also impact the timeline.

You should stain your deck every two to three years to preserve its appearance and protect it from moisture, insects, and aging. Regular maintenance helps extend your deck’s lifespan and prevents costly repairs. In colder regions, staining in late spring–as soon as dry, warm conditions appear–ensures proper absorption and a long-lasting finish.

Staining your deck is a worthwhile investment. Staining protects the wood from mold, insect damage, and environmental deterioration. It preserves the deck's structural integrity while enhancing its natural beauty, adding charm and increasing property value. Restaining also reduces future repair costs, extending the deck’s lifespan for years of outdoor enjoyment.

The average cost to paint a deck is between $500 and $2,000. Hiring a professional deck stainer ensures an even, long-lasting finish, as they apply a protective layer that enhances durability and refreshes your deck’s appearance. The final cost depends on your deck size, paint quality, and labor rates.

You should always pressure wash your deck before staining to remove built-up dirt, dust, and other debris. Having a clean surface allows the stain to adhere properly, ensuring an even, long-lasting finish. Before staining, ensure the wood is completely dry to prevent moisture-related issues, which takes 24 and 48 hours.
