"Barry and his crew were very meticulous with caulking and tape lines which adds a clean detailed environment. SC was there on time and reasonably priced, knowledgeable and aided in paint and color selections. Completely hands off!!! Would definitely hire again, perhaps to paint the outside next."

"Levi was great. Started immediately as soon as I got the keys. He was hired to paint a large wall that was dark to a lighter color, our ceiling that had a crappy patch job, and touch up a bunch of damaged spots throughout the house. Ceiling was done super well. Re-textured and painted and looks fantastic. The patch job didn’t go that well at first. It was difficult to paint match and the spots were much darker. However, Levi was GREAT about taking care of it. He came back at no additional cost beyond the original quote, and fixed all the dark patches and made it look brand new. Super happy with his communication, timeliness, and work ethic. Would be happy to have him back for future painting needs."

"Great response and basic bid.  I added a few more details to the contract.  I am not sure the walls were primed before painting, or if the paint had a primer in it...this is my first professional paint job.  I am admittedly a perfectionist, so, I may have been a tiny bit disappointed prematurely.  The painters came back for touch-ups as I requested and overall, the place looks great.

Painting questions, answered by experts

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.

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

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.

Choosing the best color for your home exterior should factor in longevity as well as your personal taste. To keep your house looking newly painted as long as possible, stay away from red paint. Although red homes pop and are quintessential for country-style barns, red paint tends to fade fastest in the sun. Go with earth tones if you want paint that best resists fading.

Whitewashing isn’t permanent, but it can last for a long, long time. When you apply it correctly or have a seasoned pro whitewash your brick, whitewashing can last for 20 to 30 years or longer. Whitewash is very durable and typically requires little maintenance, making it a great project for most DIYers.
