"I am very, very satisfied with the excellent paint job. Jose is polite, patient and professional. My house exterior was in bad shape -- peeling paint and in some places rotting wood. I was ashamed. Now it looks new! I am proud to show my friends and family what a fine-looking place this is! Thank you Brilliant Rays!"

"Nice folks. Quality work. Would not hesitate to hire them again. If anyone asks me if I know a painting/drywall contractor, I'll direct them to Bowers Painting."
"Beautiful paint job. Reliable and efficient. Professional along with friendly and committed to pleasing the customer. Cleaned everything up nicely during and at the end of the job."
"The quality of the work done was excellent! We did have a couple of communication issues that delayed work a few days, but once those were cleared up, everyone was really responsive. They got the full restucco of our house done in 1 day! It seemed like everything on our house was more of a pain than we initially thought it would be, but the staff were fantastic about staying late and making sure everything was done well. They even took the time to paint our gutters so that they would coordinate better with the house. All the guys on the job were really skilled and very, very kind. The only thing that I had an issue with was the clean-up/follow-up work that was done. When they were scraping paint, they didn't cover the ground, or my children's sand box, so I've been picking up paint chips for some time. My young children and I also have found about a dozen screws in my grass/ground that were left behind when they were changing out the gutters. In addition, they didn't put back any of the paving stones they took up to dig for the restucco. Finally, there were also a few areas on the freshly painted woodwork that got chipped during the restucco, but no one came through at the end and did any touch-ups. They did leave the extra paint for me to do it, but it would have been nice if it were part of the work. All in all, it was a positive experience. I would recommend them, but just make sure you're firm about the clean-up details that you want done. "
"Palazuelos Painting did an excellent job, they did exactly as I asked, prices were fair , workers made sure everything was cleaned after they finished their work. Very happy, will definitely hire them again for future paint projects I have."
"Can Build has completed numerous jobs for me over the past 8 years. The owner, Johnathan Downs, is incredibly talented and genuinely cares about doing things right.
Johnathan made the deprecated HVAC vents in my historic home disappear, no trace of their former existence. He hung the sheetrock in a new art studio built in my backyard. Despite the less-than-perfect framing (by me), the interior walls are perfect; nary a ripple or a waggle.
Johnathan applied stain to my cedar-clad garage and art studio, a somewhat tricky process; the result was perfection.
Johnathan also painted the 100-year-old brick exterior and wooden eaves of my house. There were layers of old peeling paint dangling from the eaves. He meticulously scrapped and patched that mess, and the result is spectacular.
Every penny spent with Can Build was worth it.
No matter the task, I would not hesitate to hire Can Build."
Choosing the best color for your home exterior should factor in longevity as well as your personal taste. To keep your house looking newly painted as long as possible, stay away from red paint. Although red homes pop and are quintessential for country-style barns, red paint tends to fade fastest in the sun. Go with earth tones if you want paint that best resists fading.
A dry lawn is easier to edge than a wet one. When your ground is wet, your blades will likely clump together, making a seemingly even cut while wet, but an uneven disaster when dried. Also, a wet lawn can impact your blade's performance and cause mud to kick up, resulting in a messy finish.
A five-gallon bucket of deck stain will cover roughly 875 square feet in a single coat. Actual coverage will vary based on the type of wood you’re staining and the number of coats. If you plan on doing multiple coats, multiply the square footage by the number of coats to calculate how many buckets of stain you’ll need.
You should stain both sides of your fence to get the full benefits. Fences often fall along property lines, so you may want to save a buck by leaving your neighbor’s side in the dust. If you do that, all you get is a slightly better view. Moisture and UV rays can still sneak in through the side that’s unpainted or worn down and damage your fence. Rot and rust will spread, even if you can’t see it from your side of the lawn.
Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.
