"Dependable Painting was wonderful. John came out and walked around the house. He explained what work would be performed and the amount of time it would take. His price was very competitive and reasonable. He had time available during the next week so he was able to pressure wash the house, prep and paint in two days. He was very professional, cleaned up after himself daily. When he was done, we walked around the house and inspected the job. He touched where needed. It was a very pleasant experience. I would definitely recommend Dependable Painting and I would hire him again if I needed another house painted."

"I had a short timeline to paint my house due to a HOA “violation”. From the first phone call to completion of the job, Hughie and his crew were very professional and great to deal with. My house looks miles better than when I bought it, you can tell they take pride in their work as they touched up minor details to ensure it was perfect. I highly recommend Sunguard if you want it done right."

"From the moment I contacted Envision Painting I had a very pleasant experience. Kimberly the office manager did research and recommended a Rustoleum Porch and Deck paint from Dunn Edwards. She went above and beyond and contacted Dunn Edwards, spoke to a gal there, gave her my name and told her that I would be going there to look at the paint and pick out my colors. When I got to Dunn Edwards the person was expecting me, helped me immediately and I was out in just a few minutes. On the day that I was to have the job performed Alan the crew chief came and spoke to me and explained that it was going to rain in a few short hours (which it did) and recommended we postpone the job until a few days later. He came on the specified day, applied the paint and waited until the paint sufficiently dried to apply a second coat. He did a meticulous job to my satisfaction. He was very professional, on time and very customer oriented. This was not my first time using Envision Painting. They painted my home about 6 mos. ago and again did an excellent job. I am very very picky and I can't say enough about how they assured me that they were going to please me and they definitely did an excellent job as well as provided excellent customer service. Kimberly and Alan and their crew are the best!! I highly recommend Envision Painting!!"

"John & crew did the entire exterior of my home in a day and a half. They fixed parts of the foundation and wood, prepped and covered everything very well before painting. John was great to come by and paint samples beforehand. Used quality paint and did quality work!"

"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!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Here's the deal with leaving used rags covered in oil-based stain lying around in a pile: Depending on the conditions, these rags can take just an hour or up to a few days to combust. The source of ignition is caused by trapped heat that can be compounded if the rags are near a heat source.

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

To make sure the paint won’t bubble as you apply it, make sure to paint on a day that’s cooler than 85 degrees Fahrenheit. When the temperature is too high, the paint won’t dry evenly, which can result in bubbles forming on the surface. Another way to prevent paint from bubbling is to clean the walls, apply primer, and let everything dry completely before you begin.

A properly applied coat of stain will last between 3 and 8 years, depending on your climate. If you live in a place where your fence experiences a lot of moisture or high heat, your stain will last for a shorter period than in more temperate conditions. We recommend reapplying stain every 3 to 5 years to keep your wood in good condition.
