"Wow. I think they peeled the old wall off and stuck a new one on. The new paint job is so smooth and perfect that .... they cheated. They had to. Or they only hire X-men. Something! All the lines are perfectly straight. There is only a minuscule amount of spatter, and not a bit on the dogs. Aside from the walls changing color and the ceiling becoming white again, I can't tell they were here. They also stained and sealed our new oak stairs. Same thing. Near-perfect match to our hardwood floors, clean-clean-clean application, perfect caulking, perfect edges, just perfect. And they showed up promptly at exactly 8 AM every morning. What contracting crew does that? They were a subcontractor to Richard Hannah Construction, which says a lot right there. I'd hire them in a minute myself."

"Fleming Painting was an absolute joy to work with. They painted the entire exterior of my home, our screened porch and stained our privacy fence and did the most beautiful job! They were on time, excellent communication, professional, cleaned up after themselves. I could not ask for a better experience! Thank you to Fleming Painting! I recommend them to all my friends!"

"Painted my outside shop. Found some rotted wood, showed it to me, and took it down while I went and got some new wood. Painted that and then put it back up. It was extremely hot but he hung right in there. The job was done professionally and on time. He cleaned my yard up like it was when he got here. I highly recommend him."

"I contacted 3 companies, but A-1 had the best rating from Angie's List and also BBB. When I spoke to Erik, he was very professional, told me what he and his team could do for me and when. When I asked if I could be put on a cancellation list (this was a Valentine's present for hubby and I called the week before, not good planning on my part!), he was very amenable to that. The cleaning was to be over 4 weeks out, but within a week he called and said he could do it much sooner. Erik and I talked about payment, inspection etc. and came to an agreement. When I got home day of cleaning, the gutters were clean, the yard was clean, there was no detritus on the windows or siding, and several black trash bags were on the road, ready for pickup. They did an amazing job, were very reasonable in cost, and most importantly, my husband didn't have to do it!"

"Jeremy was punctual, professional provided excellent suggestions for color and the faux pattern.  His estimate was reasonable and when it came time to pay the invoice was almost $100.00 less than what was quoted.  The paint job was extrordinary.  It came out better than we could have ever hoped for.  I am bringing Jeremy back in a couple of weeks to paint the master bedroom which includes a faux accent wall and the master bath.  I highly recommend Jeremy if you need a professional paint job.

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.

Yes, many repair services include repainting to match the color of the existing siding or walls. Most professionals offer this service to ensure the repaired area blends in seamlessly.

Staining a deck is typically less expensive upfront than painting. The cost to stain a deck professionally averages around $850, with most homeowners paying between $550 and $1,250, depending on the deck's size. A DIY staining project can cost less than $100. The cost to paint a deck ranges from $500 to $2,000. While the initial cost of staining is lower, it's important to consider long-term expenses. Paint can last up to 10 years, whereas stain needs to be reapplied every few years, which could lead to higher costs over time.

Always sand a deck before repainting so the wood is smooth and ready for paint. While you do not need to fully remove paint before repainting, sanding helps remove any areas with weather and sun damage. Sanding also helps remove chipped or flaking paint and opens the wood pores to improve paint adhesion.
