"Without a hitch. Nester arrived each day as scheduled. Polite, clean well mannered fellow. Very likable. All work performed on schedule. Great paint job. Tight lines, no mess. Staining of the wood doors came out outstanding. Another professional job and again, no mess. Price was very reasonable. Would hire again. Happy about the entire project."
"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!"
"Was on time. Did the work requested. Did an outstanding job. Very professional. Very friendly. Will hire again when more painting is required. You need this company to perform your painting requirements. You wonâ t regret it! They are the best around."
"Recent exterior paint job completed. There were a few areas overlooked but when pointed out were rectified. Paint crew was polite and willing to answer all questions."
"The job went smoothly despite interruptions by our rainy season and a leaky roof. The crew was on time every day and stopped work when the high humidity kept the paint from drying properly. I appreciated the fact that they did it right rather than just get it done. For a modest additional fee, my roof leak was patched and once again, the crew waited for dry weather to finish the job. I'm very satisfied with the work, cleanup and professionalism of the Ramsey Painting contractors. I would use them again and recommend them if you need you house painted."
"Very well, John Keith ( junior and senior ) arrived to paint an exterior cinder block wall today, had it pressure washed, primered, and painted this morning, within a few hours., Very cordial and professional, I would hire them again, or refer them any time in the future !"
"These guys estimated that my project calling for stucco repair and painting of 3192 sq ft, two-story walls under roof and a perhaps, 65-yard wraparound wall would take two days; this proved incorrect as it took only ONE day, more specifically, seven hours. This family-owned and operated company had five guys descend on our residence and performed professionally if not brilliantly. They tell you what they’re going to do, and do it for a fair price (got four other quotes and S & H was in the middle but the others - not unreasonably - estimated five work days). Beyond timeliness and price, the paint job was precise and clean up was superb. Strongly recommend them on a painting project…."
"XMHOMESERVICES did amazing work to restore rental property. Paint, flooring, carpentry work done with care, attention to detail, always left the work site tidy and completed in a timely manner. Xavier and his team are very professional, communicative and offered ideas to make cost effective improvements. We could not be happier with the transformation."
"Fabulous he kept me apprised of all the work. I originally sent him out to give me an estimate for painting and then he called to tell me about the roof I live out of state and it was a rental property - the property manager and the tenant both did not tell me- thank you George for being so thorough."
It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the deck refinishing process. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.
Whether to paint or stain a deck depends on your personal preference for appearance and budget. Stain provides a natural look with a range of undertones, is typically less expensive, and may only require one coat, but it does not last as long as paint. Paint offers a sleeker finish with a virtually unlimited color palette. Both options will protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear.
Most gutter painting pros also specialize in complete home exterior painting. You may save by making your gutter painting part of the cost to paint the exterior of a house in its entirety. Many people have all parts of their home exterior painted simultaneously to keep everything looking equally fresh. Consider having walls, trim, porches, shutters, and doors painted as well.
When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.
Waterproof paint creates a barrier to hold back moisture, but it doesn’t eliminate the source of the water. If you hire a basement waterproofing contractor, many will tell you that waterproof paint is only a temporary solution. On average, you can expect it to last from six months to two years in a wet basement before deteriorating.
