"Alex did a great job painting the inside of our condo. He was punctual, clean and very professional. Our complex also hired them to do some exterior painting and that also went very well. We highly recommend Lions Painting."
"This was an exemplary and professional job. The staff, painters, carpenters and managers were on the job until complete. Constant contact, updates and suggestions. Ernesto, Alberto and Gian were central to the success of this project. They truly are King of the Painters, bar non.
Hard workers, diligent worker and professional workers. Work well together and helped each other achieve maximum performance and effect.
My wife and I loved the end results and so do my neighbors.
Thank you, The King of Painters, a job well done!"
"Nile Schmidt is a true professional. I had him paint the outside and inside of a rehab I purchased in late 2008. Almost 1 decade later and the paint job has held up very, very well as I had a contractor over recently who thought the work had been done in the last 2 years (prompting me to write this review). Nile is great and easy to work with and his team is prompt and meticulous. If you want quality work done in a timely fashion at a reasonable price, I can't recommend anyone better than Nile and The Painting Company!"

"We were on a tight timeline to prepare a condo apartment for listing for sale. Painters from CG Pro Painting managed to work around the tight timeline and did fantastic work, including crack repairs and fixing ceiling stains due to recent flood. We believe their exceptional work and quality really helped with the sale. Would definitely recommend them to others!"
"Jorge is a perfectionist! Painted our entire home interior and twice stained our exterior deck. Super attention to detail and pointing out things I didnâ t even ask for. Kept exactly to his estimate. Knowledgeable about products and options. Pleasant to have in our home. Even cleaned our chandelier for us! I have already recommended Jorge Bello to friends, and will use his services again for sure."
"I recently hired Rex Painting Inc for an interior painting project, and I couldn't be happier with the results! Their attention to detail and professionalism truly set them apart. The team was punctual, friendly, and worked efficiently, transforming my space beautifully. The quality of the paint job is outstanding, with clean lines and no mess left behind. I highly recommend Rex Painting Inc for anyone looking for amazing work and a hassle-free experience!"
"A&M Specialized Coatings just absolutely transformed our kitchen by painting our dark stained dated cabinets a beautiful white! I cannot say enough about Isidro and his team. The attention to detail and quality of work far exceeded my expectations. Isidro was so helpful when I couldnâ t choose which white paint color and at the last minute, painted a second sample door for me so I could feel confident in my decision. He is so helpful and responsive to questions along the way and just put in an incredible amount of time making sure our cabinets were absolutely perfect. I still cannot believe how amazing they turned out, looks like a factory finish! I would absolutely recommend them for any project and definitely plan to use them again for future painting projects! A+++!!"
For the best results, you should apply two coats of paint to your wrought iron fence. Let your first coat dry for about an hour then promptly apply your second coat.
Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.
Regular cleaning, rust-proof coatings, and checking fasteners help prolong the lifespan.
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.
Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.
When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.
To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.
