"Excellent! Eddie is very responsive to phone calls. He visited my home several times to discuss the job and helped me select colors prior to starting. He and his assistant were very professional. They did a wonderful job painting everything and cleaned up before they left. I would definitely recommend Cityscape Finishes to anyone who is looking to have their home or business painted."
"Victor and Ivan are true professionals. Plus, their workers take pride in their work. I hired them to stain my kitchen cabinets, the stain I chose wasn't available so the brothers "matched" the stain of my dining room table, which was perfect!! Everyone was patient with my request and the finished project is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I also hired them to paint my kitchen island wall to add some interest to owned art, once again they did a fantastic job!! I personally have told coworkers about this company if ever they need a quality painter whom you can trust and will go the extra mile to please their customers. WILL DEFINATELY HIRE AGAIN!!"
"All of the work was done as described and in a timely manner. Alvaro (president) explained the process and answered any questions we had. The crew was punctual, courteous and respectful of the property. Windows, doors and vigas were taped off, drop cloths were used where material would splatter. After the completion of the project everything was cleaned up and put back in place. The workmanship is outstanding and the house looks brand new."
"Job was done with excellent quality and excellent price. Hire this gentlemen, trust me you’ll be beyond satisfied. He takes lots of pride in his craftsmanship and you can definitely tell by final results."
"They did an amazing job it turned out like a brand new home. They worked as if it was their home with care and precision, lines are crisp and whole house is gorgeous. We will only use Michael and his crew thank you!"
"Nothing but a positive experience from Aaron Trail. Very easy to communicate with. Very prompt, kept all appointments. The new paint looks amazing and just the colors we selected. All stucco repairs that were made were blended so well, there is no way to tell where the original issues were! I already have recommended them to friends and family, I will continue to do so. Very happy with Aaron Trail! "
"Jesus and his team extended our cement patio. The work was completed on time with excellence. He is detailed, careful, and does what he says he will do, including leaving the job site clean. I plan on calling him for more work in the future. One more thing, he has a tendency to do more than expected."
Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.
You don't need to seal your deck after painting it because most exterior paints are waterproof and weather-resistant. While stealing is not necessary, it can add an additional layer of protection.
It’s often best to spray on deck sealer. Sprayers can apply sealant more quickly and evenly than rolling while still enabling you to reach tight spaces. When using a sprayer, always use a low-pressure setting at a close distance to ensure an even application. Avoid using sprayers on windy days.
It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.
If your biggest concern is making sure your deck doesn’t show dirt, opt for a darker neutral color that blends in well with your surrounding landscape. A rich brown or dark grey are both good options that work with a variety of house colors. A high-quality acrylic paint is easy to clean and maintain, so it might be worth spending the money on.
