"My house was built in the 70s and likely hadn't been painted in 20 years. The trim, doors, and deck were a dark 70's style brown and I was worried it might not be able to painted well! It also had several areas needing stucco repair. I found Sunguard here on Angie's List and was impressed by the reviews. They did not disappoint. I never had to leave a message for a call back because the owner answered the phone every time I called. They came out right away and completed the job in record time. The paint job is high quality and looks great. They aren't the cheapest in town, but they do a good job. Now, they are coming out to paint my neighbor's house too!"

"Julio and Richard were very professional and checked-in with me regularly during the job to make sure I didn't have any concerns, and keep me informed as the job progressed. In addition to painting the house, they were able to restore the dry wall of my patio ceiling, and put in new stained wood slats for my RV gate."

"I hired the AZ Painting Co to repaint the exterior of my small stucco home. They also replaced some rotting wood and power washed a small stain on my block wall. At the time they were offering a 10% discount. I thought they did a great job, worked quickly and efficiently and I would definitely hire them again!"

"They were fabulous! Our house looks amazing! They followed our HOA guidelines and were on time every day.  We had them paint our block wall fence which had some water stains. They treated the water stains before painting and the fence looks beautiful. They are very professional and their clean-up was great.  I would highly recommend this wonderful family owned business!"

"I sent out for bids to 5 Angieslist "A" rated painting companies.  James was one of four that bid, and one of only two who actually came to the home to personally inspect the job. After carefully reviewing all of our quotes we decided to work with James. His bid was not the lowest, however, we felt most comfortable with him based on his lifetime experience as a professional painter, the quality of the paints he proposed, his knowledge of the processes, etc. He's very personable and I learned that both his father and grandfather before him were full-time painting professionals. And I really enjoyed the fact that he brought his son Nelson with him, as it was Nelson's first day of summer vacation. Truly a family affair!

James arrived on the day and at the time agreed upon. His team was very careful in prep. Even though this was exterior painting they took great precautions to protect everything such as the cool-deck, outdoor furniture, neighbor's adjoining walls, etc

As a long term valley residents (me 50+ years, my wife 3rd generation native) we've had a lot of exterior painting done. We couldn't be more pleased with the results! Even though our original plans were to just paint the fence now and then repaint our entire 2-story home in about a year or two, we're moving forward with doing the home now, and we are using James Horn and his team to do it.

Thank you James!

Deck Staining FAQs, 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, beginners can use a paint sprayer, but there is a learning curve. It's important to go slowly, read the instructions thoroughly, and spend some time learning the technique. Watching tutorial videos for your specific paint sprayer model can be very helpful. Before starting your main project, practice on a scrap surface to get used to the sprayer and avoid common issues like overspraying, which can cause drips, bubbles, and other imperfections. For safety, always wear a mask and gloves, and be careful not to touch the sprayer's tip when it's in use, particularly with high-powered airless sprayers.

The best type of paint for concrete exterior surfaces like concrete porches, steps, or walkways is high-quality exterior-grade paint with strong weather resistance. Acrylic latex blends with tiny anti-slip particles will help create an anti-slip coating for your concrete porch. This type of paint will stand up best to the elements, especially rain, snow, and ice. An exterior epoxy will also help strengthen your concrete porch.

Eggshell and satin finishes are best for porches because they sit in the sweet spot between scuffable matte and distracting high gloss. Your porch sees a fair amount of wear and tear, so you don’t want paint that’ll show every mark like matte, but you don’t want to be blinded by glossy paint in the sun either. Eggshell and satin have durability and a look that sits nicely in the middle.

The best exterior paint for the job of painting your front porch depends on the material you’ll be painting. Acrylic paint is often recommended for a wooden porch as it’s durable and easy to apply. If your porch is made of concrete, you’ll need to find a formula suited to that material.
