"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 and his crew were outstanding. Very easy to do business with. Nile returned calls and emails promptly. His team of painters arrived promptly each day of this three-day job and communicated their plan so I would know when they would arrive and approximately when they would finish. The quality of the work is top notch and, for the scope of work being done, I think the price was very reasonable. I've always done my own painting but after this experience I think I'll hang up my brush and just call Nile. "

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."

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 would like to recommend to anyone who is looking for an outstanding painting contractor to use A & M Specialized Coatings, Inc. Isidro and his entire crew were an absolute pleasure to work with. A & M painted our house and did an exceptional job. The project took extensive preparation work before it was painted on the exterior. The prep work could not be accomplished by an average painting contractor. Their attention to detail, outstanding communication, and quality craftsmanship is unsurpassed. It’s truly refreshing to work with a well run and professional painting contractor. Get three estimates, just make sure one of them is A&M Specialized Coatings, Inc. You’ll be impressed with their work."
You can use latex or acrylic paint outdoors. Although acrylic paint tends to last longer outside, it also costs more, so if you’re painting the outside of your house, for instance, latex paint is often a go-to option. However, acrylic will be your best choice if you want to spend some extra money for added durability.
Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.
Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:
Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted
Scraping away loose paint
Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris
Caulking gaps and openings
Priming with a quality paint primer
Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish
Adding a second coat
Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths
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.
Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.
