Swift Painters is a family owned business. Our goal is to provide the highest quality service and the best overall customer experience. At Swift Painters we believe honesty, integrity, and trust are the core values successful businesses are built on. A home is one of your largest and most important investments, and we here at Swift Painters are grateful to be able to paint each of our customer’s homes. We look forward to serving you and your satisfaction is guaranteed.

"This is frustrating, because our initial experience in February 2019 with Swift was fantastic. Heather was always attentive, helpful, and responsive. When we did the final walkaround, she quickly made sure things were corrected. Within less than a year's time, the vinyl siding portion of our sunroom started to buckle because of the heat, even though the paint was guaranteed to prevent this from happening. Swift and Heather quickly worked with SW to find matching siding and came out to repaint the damaged section after being repaired. Unfortunately, this is where things started to fall apart. Once the repainting of the new vinyl siding and some touchups on other portions of the sunroom where the paint started to flake/bubble were completed, Heather pointed out that it was NOT the same color as what was already on the house. Because we had leftover paint from when the work was originally completed, we were able to compare the two side-by-side to verify this together. Then it became a waiting game while they tried to get things straightened out with SW regarding why the paint didn't match. While we were waiting, the NEW siding started to buckle as well, so on Valentine’s Day 2020, I called Heather and left a VM, but there was no response. I sent pictures to her email, and received an auto response indicating the email address was no longer valid. Red flag. OK, I had spoken with the owner previously and still had his email address, so I reached out to him both via email (with pictures) and via telephone, and again no response. It was right about this time that COVID hit and the world stopped, and I was afraid something might have happened to the folks at Swift and their business was a casualty of the pandemic; their Facebook page didn't show any updates, and calls to the number on their site went straight to voicemail. A few months later, I figured I'd check their FB page again on a lark and, lo and behold, it looked like they were back in business! I figured there was a hiccup in their operations b/c of the pandemic but that things were getting back to normal for them. I was glad because a) I didn't want to see their business suffer, and b) I thought we could get things resolved. So, being hopeful, I called again on July 10, and even though it went straight to voicemail, I left another message and waited patiently. and waited... and waited… And because other emergencies occurred in the meantime, on November 15th I called and left another message… and waited.... and waited.... And on December 14th I called and left another message… and waited.... and waited.... (you see where this is going) So as of today, February 5, 2021, we still have warped siding on one side of our sunroom and mismatched paint on multiple areas of the house, and a completely non-responsive contractor. Based on the earlier positive experience, I had given them the benefit of the doubt and truly was not worried, but after trying for months to get a response, I'm afraid to say I was mistaken."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Decks can either be stained or painted, depending on your preference. Typically stain is less expensive than paint, but paint offers more color options that might better match your aesthetic. No matter what you choose, both options protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear. 

Yes, it’s best to remove the previous coat of stain from your deck before restaining it, especially if the surface is in bad condition. Restaining on top of an old coat can lead to an uneven surface, as the new stain won’t fully soak into the deck material. That said, if your deck is in excellent condition, you may be able to get away with just cleaning the surface instead of sanding it and removing the old stain. If you choose not to remove the previous coat, it’s best to use the same type of stain for the new layer.

Pressure-treated wood lasts at least 10 years, but with the right care and treatment, it can last as long as 40 years. Painting the boards is one way to increase the lifespan of pressure-treated wood. The layer of paint provides extra protection for the wood against the exterior elements and insects.

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.

Rags used with oil-based stains are highly flammable and can spontaneously combust in the right conditions. To reduce the fire risk, throw them in a metal container after use and add rocks on top to secure them. Add an inch of water and seal the container. Take the rags in the container to a hazardous waste factory as soon as possible.
