"We are giving one star because zero stars were unavailable! My husband and I received a quote from this company to paint and clear coat our fences. We thought the quote was high but once Seth described the process, we felt it was reasonable, as his process was very labor intensive. It included removing all the old paint from our fences and repainting. Seth said “it was the only way to ensure the job is completed properly.” When he and his partner arrived at our home, they proceeded to perform a process much less labor intensive than what was quoted originally to us. When I questioned him about this he said I misunderstood and they could not take the old paint off the fences. My husband and I thought we were due a credit but that was not to be. So for about two days work, Seth and his partner received $3,200! We may not have minded so much if the work was excellent but it was actually extremely subpar! And when I brought his attention to the poor workmanship Seth said “they would never have left it that way. The wood must have pushed out the sealer.” I have worked as a director of design and construction and facilities for forty years. I have never met such an unprofessional company before. Seth told me he would be sending us a check for $500 for the unprofessional work. That was about ten days ago and still no check. I’m not surprised. I could go on with a similar but worse story regarding our decks but I will end this review by saying that we would never use nor recommend this company to anyone. I recently learned that our neighbor was also very unhappy with the work completed at their home by this company and she would never use them again either. If you decide to use this company, regardless of this terrible review, just beware."

When you paint your deck, you can choose any color, and cleanup is easy, but the paint hides the natural wood grain. Stain, on the other hand, lets the wood grain shine through, but requires more maintenance. The cost to seal a deck is about the same as painting. Consider your personal preferences to see which option benefits you most.
For bare wood or cement decks, you only need to clean the surface before applying the first coat of paint. If you're recoating an existing finish, you'll need to pressure wash the deck to remove chipped paint and debris. Either way, make sure to allow the surface to fully dry before moving forward; otherwise, the finish could peel.
A gallon of paint covers between 125 and 300 square feet, depending on its formula. Since your deck might need two coats of paint, for a standard 300-square-foot deck, you might need two to four gallons. If you're painting a pool deck, keep in mind that the specialized non-slip paint covers less area because the texturized material takes up more space in the can.
The cost to stain a deck ranges from $2 to $4 per square foot, which is similar to the average deck painting cost. For a 300- to 400-square-foot deck, you might pay from $600 to $1,600 for staining. After staining, it’s a good idea to seal the deck; sealing a deck costs $0.50 to $3 per square foot.
Yes, you can paint directly over old deck paint if the existing finish is in excellent condition. You should inspect the surface to ensure there's no cracking, peeling, or chipping before proceeding. If you notice any deterioration, you'll need to remove the compromised paint. Clean your deck thoroughly with a power washer, lightly sand any rough spots, and use the same type of paint to guarantee proper adhesion and long-lasting performance.
Yes, applying a coat of primer before painting your deck is essential unless you're using a combined 2-in-1 formula. Primer enhances the adhesion of the new paint, establishes a moisture barrier, and creates a smooth, uniform surface. Be sure to inspect your deck for any defects or old finishes, and use a high-quality primer to fully prepare the surface for a durable and pristine finish.
