"Patrick was very patient and provided quick responses to ALL my questions. I had many since this was the first time for us to paint/stain the exterior of our house. He provided great suggestions for paint/stain color and explained the process /steps that would be taken to complete the project. Because the exterior of my house is wood shingles, it was a more complicated process to pressure wash and treat the wood before staining and painting. Patrick's team was very professional, courteous and did outstanding work. They completed the work in the estimated time and cleaned up very well when they were finished. I would definitely hire them again."

"When I moved back into my childhood home after it had been a rental for nearly 30 years, it was in desperate need of updating. Tenant paint jobs, outdated finishes, and even original wallpaper made it one of the least attractive houses on the block. I hired Luis and the team at Labato Painting to paint the interior, and the transformation was incredible. Once the walls were finished, I decided to have them restore the beautiful Craftsman woodwork as well. They carefully buffed, stained, and varnished it, bringing it back to life. Seeing the results inside convinced me to have the exterior painted too. Along the way, I also decided to install a new kitchen floor, which Luis and his team handled beautifully. Luis, Jesus, Augustine, and Leo were professional, hardworking, respectful, and always mindful of my time and space. Leo also did outstanding work on my chimney. The house looks great, the neighbors are happy and impressed and I finally feel like I?m back home."

"They did an excellent job of painting our kitchen cabinets and they now look great in creame instead of stained wood. They did all of the work in one week. They cleaned up the work site at the end of the job. Arrived punctually each day and had good communication with us on a daily basis."

"Colorblast Painting is awesome,from start to finish,great customer service,I love that it is a family owned company as well.We had our house repainted and some wood rot repaired.Everything done as expected and as listed in proposal.Nathan and Amanda are so nice,I was hoping to have Nathan himself to paint but he was on another job, that's ok,all went well.I would recommend them to anyone and I have already had 3 people stop by and comment on the house saying it looks like a new house,if we have anymore painting needed,we will be calling them back.Oh,and they happen to be the cheapest out of the 3 estimates we got,which is a plus as well."

Painting questions, answered by experts

When applying multiple coats, wait four to six hours for each coat to dry. Not waiting long enough can result in streaks, peeling, and uneven color. Plus, it will be more difficult to discern where the second coat has already been applied.

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. 

Rags used with oil-based stains are highly flammable and can spontaneously combust in the right conditions. To reduce the fire risk, throw them in a metal container after use and add rocks on top to secure them. Add an inch of water and seal the container. Take the rags in the container to a hazardous waste factory as soon as possible.

Maintaining a composite fence is pretty straightforward, as it doesn’t require staining or repainting. To keep it clean, scrub the fencing with a composite deck cleaner or hot, soapy water. Use a soft-bristle brush for the best results, and avoid using pressure washers or sanders. Plan to clean your fence at least twice a year. Scrubbing the fencing in the fall and spring can help prevent mold and mildew growth.

Whitewashing isn’t permanent, but it can last for a long, long time. When you apply it correctly or have a seasoned pro whitewash your brick, whitewashing can last for 20 to 30 years or longer. Whitewash is very durable and typically requires little maintenance, making it a great project for most DIYers.
