"Brannick Painting just finished a complete exterior repaint of our house in El Cerrito, including staining our deck. Patrick and his team were wonderful to work with. Patrick helped us with color selection, painting large sheets of posterboard with several colors we considered, so we could hold them up to the house in different lighting to see how they would look when finished. we have heard from others that they had small swatches painted on their house and Patrick’s approach is so much more helpful. Patrick is also extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of preparation and painting. We have an old stucco house that needed a lot of detailed preparation. His crew is very experienced, and they did an excellent job repairing and preparing all of the cracks and blemishes on our house. We are very happy with the final product. We highly recommend using Brannick Painting."

"We highly recommend A+ Painting and will use them again for future painting projects. They painted a bedroom- bathroom wing consisting of a Master bedroom and bath, guest bedroom and bath and a hallway. They were on-time, very professional, provided a superior painting service and cleaned up everything spotlessly. They finished the job ahead of schedule with no change orders. Definitely a 5+ star review for this business."

"We did a major home renovation that involved hiring 11 contractors. Juan at GM Painting was within our top 2. It is a real opportunity to work with him right now because his work is excellent, and he is growing his business, providing service way beyond his price point. Highlights include: - Quality of work. Completely dedicated to excellence. Initial consultation included artsy ideas like making accent walls, knowledge on what colors go together and the provision of color palettes to help make decisions. Juan has great eyes and can spot imperfections we could not see, which he fixed up. He genuinely wanted us just to love our space and help make it look as good as possible. He also retouched many shots after we moved in and dinged the walls. - Multiple skills. Juan painted our interior walls, finished the wooden stair posts and banisters, refinished 100 year old doors that has been painted a few too many times, and noticed that our basement was unfinished concrete. He epoxy coated the basement for us, the best value improvement to our finish work. One of our contractors also dinged a bathroom vanity. I asked him to help with this and he made it like new, doing big gouges with wood filler and matching with stain and finish. - Customer service. Impeccable. Juan is one of the most thoughtful people we have met. Communicates very clearly, cares about people, very kind and lovely to work with. - Price. Unbeatable for the service offered. Presumably his prices can't stay at this point forever. He gave one of our lower bids while providing service beyond this price point. A real opportunity for anyone looking for a painter. We can't recommend GM Painting more highly."

"Certa Pro sales rep Kevin Carter was great in explaining their work, providing a quote quickly, and helped with paint color selection. Their contract was very thorough with everything itemized and the preparation and painting process detailed. They provide proof of insurance coverage, warranty, and references. Their price was not the cheapest but very competitive and very fair for the work they did. Their crew did a great job, were very courteous, cleaned up every day. We are very happy with the result and our house looks great!"

"TM did an awesome job painting all the interior walls of our home. They painted 8 rooms and 2 bathrooms in two days which exceeded our expectations. Their work quality is excellent and they moved and protected our furniture and floors to prevent any paint damage. Also did a thorough clean up after the painting was completed. We highly recommended them."

After the paining was fiinished , a flooring contractor damaged one of the baseboards and nicked the walls in several in several places. Luis came back and fixed the walls and baseboards and touched up the paint perfectly."

Painting questions, answered by experts

Regular cleaning, touch-ups for small defects, and resealing or repainting every 2-3 years help to maintain a vibrant appearance and protection.

The best type of paint to use for chain link fences is an oil-based paint. Oil-based paints are durable and will withstand the elements well. Search for an oil-based paint with rust protection and aluminum flakes to further protect the longevity of the fence.

You should repaint your fence every 1 to 3 years, depending on the appearance of wear and tear. Weather and usage will factor into how often you should paint another coat on your fence. If you need to replace a few fence boards or posts, you may want to consider repainting the fence to help protect the rest of the fence as well as the new pieces against damage and deterioration from being exposed to the elements.

Opt for an interior wood stain that is rated for your type of wood. Consider your personal style preferences as well as the overall use of the room when choosing a color. Remember, the color you see at the store may look different on your actual floors once applied. This is why if you have the chance, it’s helpful to test a few options on a scrap piece of wood in the room first. Once you narrow it down, you can test a small patch on an inconspicuous area in the room to see it on the actual floors.

If you have the time and the budget, we strongly recommend staining your fence, especially if it's looking a bit tired or hasn't been treated recently. While you may not see the same return on investment (ROI) as you would with a project like a kitchen remodel, staining a fence is one of the best ways to add a facelift to your property—a new fence stain adds serious curb appeal to your home.
