Frequently Asked Questions About Deck Staining & Painting
1.What is Deck sealer
Deck sealer is typically a transparent coat that seeps deep into the wood and forms a clear film on the surface while maintaining the wood’s natural finish. By penetrating the wood, the sealer creates a protective layer that helps minimize water infiltration and lock out moisture.
2. What is Deck Paint
Deck paint can be either oil-based or acrylic — both are good products. Oil-based paint has the advantage of being slower-drying, which makes outdoor application easier and more mistake-free. Acrylic paints have less VOCs and clean up easier.
3. What is Solid Stain
A solid stain is, essentially, a paint. Both are films that sit on the surface of a substrate. A penetrating stain differs from a solid stain entirely in that the product actually absorbs into the wood. … A solid stain will better accentuate the texture of the wood, so a rough surface likely calls for stain over paint.
4. What is a Semi-Sold Stain
This unique semi–solid/semi-opaque finish masks the wood grain but allows texture to show through. While Semi–Solid Stains provide greater opacity, they still highlight the natural texture of wood and provide a deep-penetrating, flat finish.
5. What is a Semi-Transparent Stain
Semi–Transparent stains introduce delicate color to the wood’s surface. Semi–Transparent stains contain the lightest pigmentation designed to accentuate natural wood grain and character. Review our opacity scale to determine your perfect balance of color and protection.
6. What is Transparent Stain or Clear Stain
Transparent Stain: A clear finish will show the most amount of wood grain and impact the color of your wood the least, allowing it to weather naturally.

wesley romans2024-06-18We are very happy with the work by Imagine Painting. It professionally painted all our ceilings within 1.5 days while matching the original color. It has an excellent customer service team.
M L2024-06-13Extremely happy with the exterior painting work that Image completed on our home. The team was professional and communicative throughout the process. We were invited to do a walk through with the entire team to kick things off, and received regular updates / feedback throughout, and had the opportunity to sign off on each stage to ensure that nothing was painted until all of the prep was completed to our satisfaction. We would definitely use Image again. Many thanks to Jai, Jankeh, and Ruben’s crew.
James Buxbaum2024-06-12From start to finish, this was a quality and professional job. Andrew was prompt, honest, and helpful with the estimate. He remained available throughout the job. Scheduling was done in a timely manner and I was kept informed as the start date approached. The painting crew (Grevy's group) was most pleasant, efficient, maintained great attention to details, and were very careful. I was completely satisfied with the job and would most certainly use Image Painting again.

Erin Peters-Burton2024-05-17The estimator and the scheduler were so friendly and answered all of my questions with a smile. The color consultant did a fantastic job tweaking our color choices so they were harmonious. Grevy's crew was the best too! I cannot say enough good things about them. They worked so hard to make my janky walls smooth and the results was fantastic. The painting was meticulous and the whole crew was very friendly and professional. Image painting is the way to go!!!
RAJESH DUGAR2024-05-13Ruben and Felix were very thorough and did a nice job painting our rooms
Jesse Leifert2024-05-03We had Image Painting repaint our row house in northeast DC and would highly recommend them. The whole process was very smooth and communication from start to finish was excellent. The contract was very detailed and outlined everything that the crew was going to do to help us understand what was involved. The painters showed up on time, were careful not to disrupt our limited green space and were respectful of our neighbors’ properties. The onsite lead made sure that our opinions and confirmations were heard and kept us up on progress as each part of the house was painted. The crew cleaned up after every day and were very friendly and accommodating if we had modifications or questions. The team finished on schedule and the results look great. I highly recommend and would use them again for future needs.
