"Jesse and his crew did an amazing job! From contact to completion it only took 10 days to paint my entire interior including sanding/painting doors, and power washing/staining 2 outdoor decks. This is the second time I have worked with him and he is a true pro!"
"The Brandon Paint Co crew were very professional and efficient. Our house was power washed, stained, and the trim painted in under a week with a beautiful result. Communications on site were friendly, open and timely. Setting up the job occurred before the winter and communications were excellent (from interactions to get an estimate, through documenting the contract, and then keeping us informed on planning/scheduling implementation)."
"Last winter, my husband and I were fortunate enough to close on a house. However, the garage was sorely in need of interior cleaning, repair, and paint. We were both “Gung Ho” about doing it ourselves when I tripped and fractured my wrist. At that point, the movers were due to arrive in 5 days with two truckloads of home furnishings. Josh Dowell (Dowell’s Painting) responded to my desperate call by promptly sending out an associate to start cleaning and taping followed up working over the weekend to personally accommodate our needs. The results were thorough and well executed. In the process, we learned to appreciate Josh’s words of wisdom that the painting of a well-used garage interior is a much more formidable project than most lay people assume it to be. We’re happy to provide testament to his extensive experience and professionalism and will gladly give him another call for the next painting project."
"Beautiful job on the exterior of my home! It is obvious they take pride in what they do. Prep work was extremely thorough, which makes such a big difference. I also found them to be very timely and responsive and the price to be reasonable."
"We selected Complete Spectrum after witnessing the results they performed on our neighbours house. Top class all the way. We received a quote which was in the mid range for any licensed contractor. After color selection in which they gladly offered pointers and constructive advice, work commenced mid October 2019. In a nutshell, Jeremy the owner (who also performed the work) achieved a stellar result. Compliments all around from friends and neighbors. Detailed to a fault, conscientious, thorough and clean and tidy with it. Went the extra yard where others would not. If there were a six-star rating he would certainly qualify. For those considering Complete Spectrum I would heartily recommend without any reservation Furthermore, not a dollar was laid out until the job was completed and met to our satisfaction."
"ALR Painting did such a fantastic job. My home was built in 1908 and the original paint was chipping away and old. Alex was able to match the exact color of the house and went above and beyond my expectations. I was particularly impressed with the care he took in prepping the home prior to painting- scraping, sanding, and caulking. The paint job wasn’t easy. Alex definitely takes pride in his work and he managed to complete the project much faster than I expected. My house looks AMAZING! I could not be happier with my experience and I highly recommend ALR Painting to others."
"Mark came out to give us an estimate on the exterior of our house he responded quickly and answered all of our questions we felt comfortable with him. They did a great job I'm very happy with the results! They are reasonable compared to others. Would definitely hire again.
Thanks again Taylor's Painting"
"I hired a painter out of the newspaper and he gave me a flyer to do all the things he was going to do. He didn't do any of them. I had to have my house painted for appraisal. After that experience, I called Angie's List for a list of painters. Beyond a doubt Four Seasons was the best. He brought it to my attention that there was lead based paint. He suggested that I call a company to detect if there is lead within the paint. Four Season is so knowlegeable and so precise."
Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place.
Ensure gutters and downspouts remain clean, monitor wall integrity, and promptly address any arising imperfections or peels concept permanence rooted.
You’ll need to wait until the surface is completely dry, which can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours under optimal conditions. The waiting period depends on several factors, including the type of siding and the weather conditions. Trying to paint before the surface is completely dry can trap moisture under the paint, leading to bubbling, blistering, and mold growth.
Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.
If you don’t treat a cedar fence, it will turn from reddish brown to gray over time. You can keep the cedar from graying and retain its attractive, deep red color by sealing your cedar fence with a stain that keeps the wood’s oils in and serves as a barrier against the sun’s UV rays.
