"My husband and I hired Vista SC Painting recently to complete some projects before we have the exterior of our home painted. The work that Vista Paint completed on our house was the following: 5 exterior doors + large front entrance door were refinished (sanded, stained, and sealed—front and back), they did a re-stucco and re-seal of the parapet walls, and they re-coated and sealed the roof. Bryan was very communicative via emails, texts, and phone calls; we value clear communication in general, but it is especially important during home projects where scheduling, logistics, and our specific requests and needs are concerned. Bryan also gave us a more favorable quote out of 3 quotes we got from other contractors, so we were pleased with his fair pricing. We plan to contact Vista SC Painting again fairly soon to schedule an exterior paint for our home and the wall that surrounds our property based on the positive experience we had with them."

"Luis has removed all the popcorn ceilings and painted every room in our house starting in the summer of 2009.  Up until this last project everything went smoothly. I picked out what I thought was a very pale green for our living room and dining room. When it was finished it looked like mint ice cream.  Needless to say that's not what I wanted. Over the next 2-3 weeks I had painted over 30 samples of colors of what I thought I might want which changed from a green to an off white. What was in the sample jars was not what it looked like on the walls. Finally Luis came over to look and we decided what might work.  I guess the green made all the samples not look what they should.  But the final outcome is perfect.  He even painted baseboards because the next project is having new flooring put down.  Now that the whole house is done I suppose at some point we will have to start over and I will certainly call Luis again. The total cost,of course, included the repainting.

"I needed the exterior of my house painted and needed it done soon. I contacted and received quotes from two other well-known painting companies and really was not happy with their estimate quotes. I saw Wildcat Painting Company, LLC as an area company and contacted them for an estimate. They not only came in with a lower bid but even after a couple of â no pressureâ recommendations from the job foreman they were still the best price. Alex was exceptionally good about working with me on this project and very respectful of me and my requests. The foreman and crew that painted my house were all very respectful of me, my time, and my property. No trash or messes were left behind, and I even had a hard time seeing where they had cleaned up. THE PLACE LOOKS GREAT!! And finished in, what I consider, record time. I am so glad I went with Wildcat Painting Company and will use them again should it be needed. I would and will recommend Wildcat Painting Company to others for their painting projects. Thanks Alex and crew!!"

"An amazing quality experience from the first contact through the last brush stroke. The quality of the work provided by David's team is second to none. Some areas of the house required stucco repair, some cracks, shadows of old attachments, etc. The repair work is flawless. I highly recommend Pro Finish Custom Painting for any paint projects on your "to-do" list. Awesome work. great people!!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

While power washing isn't a requirement before you stain a fence, it can make the job much easier and faster while reducing manual labor requirements. The stain will not work if the wood is full of dirt and dust, so power washing, sometimes called pressure washing, is a fast and effective way to prepare the wood for staining. Remember that you need to stain or repaint relatively soon after the wood has dried so that there isn’t time for dust and dirt to build up again. 

Manufacturers use a different process and formula for exterior paint versus interior. The exterior formula has to withstand elements like temperature, UV lighting, moisture, wind, and debris. Interior paint doesn’t need to be as tough, only exposed to dust, scratches, dents, scuff marks, and the like.

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.

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.

You can paint an old wooden fence, but make sure first to do a deep clean (ideally with a pressure washer) and inspect the fence for any existing damage. Painting over dirt and debris will cause your paint to peel. Once you’ve cleaned and repaired any minor issues, use a primer and high-quality satin paint.
