"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!"

"I waited to do this review because I wanted to be objective about the job. The quality of the paint job in the end was very good. The sales person was great. Unfortunately, getting the painting done on the house was not so smooth. It was supposed to be about ten days, it lasted 15 days. The painters arrived late and left early. They blocked my driveway, painted the garage door that was supposed to be stained, left full trash bags in the side yard for days, kept telling me my house was the biggest house most complicated house they had ever painted and worked on their cars in my driveway and at the curb. I am sure I am missing something. The job was understaffed and about 40% more expensive than other quotes."

"Nile was prompt in providing the job estimate and answered all my questions quickly. He estimated the job would take two guys 1 day. Although his price was the highest of the 3 that I received. I thought paying 50% more than the next highest estimate would get me a better job. Not quite.
The two painters showed up on time on the appointed day and worked until the end of the day and then told me that the popcorn material they applied to the ceiling may not dry white in color. So, they will have to come back again a second day to repaint the patched ceiling areas. A few hours after they left, I noticed that the cinder block wall that was painted with special water resistant material started turning light brown in many spots meaning something was bleeding through. Nile said he didn't know the paint he got didn't have a stain blocker.
As a result, the cinderblock wall also needed to be repainted. I also noticed that parts of the cinder block wall were not adequately painted and the gray block wall was showing through the single coat of paint. Nile agreed that parts of the wall were ?thin?. He said he?ll have it covered up as stated in the scope work. One painter came back the second day and said because the special sealer paint he applied to wall, he will have to come back again on a 3rd day to put a finish coat on the newly treated areas. This surprise meant that I had to remove all the stored garage items out of the way again and park the cars outside for another night.
Early on the 3rd day, the painter was to arrive to finish the job at 7 am, but arrived late. The painter told me he was late because he was working on another paint job until 2am that morning. Guess that made it my problem.  Compared to other reviews of this company, my expectations for experience and work quality were not met. In this case, one doesn't always get what they paid for."

"Very happy that we went with Approved Contractor for our first major home project. We got quotes from several other companies and none were nearly as helpful or professional. Our windows were installed quickly and they look fantastic. Our one issue was that wood frame edges around the windows weren't fully sanded down for painting after installation. Despite this, we plan on using Approved Contractor for future projects. Thanks!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Aftercare includes routine cleaning, checking for water repellency, and promptly addressing any chips or peels, maintaining the deck's appearance and functionality.

It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the deck refinishing process. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.

Whether you can paint over your existing paint depends on what’s on there. Most of the time, you’ll want to sand down or scrape off the paint that’s currently coating your surface. Epoxy paint, for example, won’t let new paint stick to the surface. Latex paint is more forgiving and will accept a new coat, but a primer is recommended if you’re switching colors.

The best type of paint for concrete exterior surfaces like concrete porches, steps, or walkways is high-quality exterior-grade paint with strong weather resistance. Acrylic latex blends with tiny anti-slip particles will help create an anti-slip coating for your concrete porch. This type of paint will stand up best to the elements, especially rain, snow, and ice. An exterior epoxy will also help strengthen your concrete porch.

The plastic in composite decking boards protects them enough that you do not need to paint them to prevent warping. In fact, painting composite decking voids the warranty of some manufacturers. Painting can also increase maintenance on the deck, as you must paint regularly to keep it looking its best.
