Reviews

Trusted by Iowa homeowners.

We used Phillips Pro to paint two levels of our house, including trim work. Lance and crew were excellent to work with. They were courteous, on-time, and ensured we were happy with the finished product. We will definitely be using Phillips Pro for future painting projects. - Bryan & Steph

We hired Phillips Pro Painting to paint several of our interior rooms, and the finished product looks so good! Lance was great to work with. He communicated with us about the project every day and even gave us tips on how we can further improve things in the future. I would 10/10 recommend!

Lance and his team did a great job transitioning our house from dark browns/grey and oak trim to a nice bright grey and white trim. Super easy to work with and responsive. Much appreciated!

FAQ

Deck Painting & Staining questions, answered.

Don't see your question? Call us at 515-321-8849.

Should I choose deck paint or deck stain?

Stains highlight the natural beauty of the wood grain and soak deeply into the lumber, while paint provides complete color coverage, fills small cracks, and offers thicker protection. We will assess your deck's condition and help you choose the best option.

How often does my deck need to be restained or painted?

In Iowa's climate, we recommend treating cedar and pressure-treated wood decks with a fresh coat of stain every 2 to 3 years. Solid deck paints can last between 3 to 5 years before needing a refresh.

How long do I need to wait before walking on my newly stained deck?

We recommend waiting at least 24 to 48 hours before walking on your deck, and 72 hours before moving heavy outdoor furniture or grills back onto the surface to allow the product to fully cure.

What happens if it rains during the staining process?

We monitor local forecasts closely. We never apply stain or paint to a wet surface or when rain is expected. If a sudden shower delays the project, our on-site foreman will communicate the adjusted timeline immediately.

Will the power washing damage my wood deck?

No. Our crew uses professional-grade power washers with specialized pressure settings. We use the exact amount of force needed to clean the wood fibers and lift mold without causing any wood damage or splintering.
