"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)."

"Absolutely phenomenal! Beyond my expectations. Roman took a damaged canvas in a 1921 home and made it look great. He showed up on time or early and stayed late to complete the job. I appreciated that he set expectations and provided guidance on what would look best. He also set a realistic time and stuck to it. Roman is a great painter and an even better person. If you want it done right, hire him. I would definitely hire Roman at EZY painting again."

"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."

"My home is 17 years old, single story and approx 1400 sq ft. I have used Frank and his crew before with the interior painting (see interior paint review) of my home and now needed the exterior of my home painted. I contacted Frank on 4/28/16 to get an estimate for the full exterior painting of my home and back yard patio cover. On 5/1/16 I received an email from Frank with his estimate which included a list of everything that would be included in the final price. I accepted his bid and work was scheduled to begin 5/30/16 with the power washing of the complete exterior of my home. Painting would begin on 6/1/16 and take 2-3 days. I provided Frank with the 3 paint colors I selected. Having used Frank and his crew before, it was nice to know the same friendly and professional crew would return. On 5/30/16, Mike arrived promptly at 8 AM and completely power washed the exterior of my home which took less than 2 hrs. On 6/1/16 Frank and his crew (Mike and Brandon) arrived on time and began the prep work necessary (caulking, taping, removing the exterior light fixtures, etc). In like 3 hrs, my home was completely taped off and prepped for painting. The entire painting took 2 full days. Frank uses only the BEST exterior Sherwin-Williams paint and I have to say, the finished job is absolutely beautiful. It looks better than the day I bought the home new!! Kudos to Frank, Mike and Brandon who went above and beyond and produced a final product I am so happy with. Without a doubt I will use Frank for all my other painting needs. This paint job more than exceeded my expectation and I am so glad to have found such a quality painting crew. I would not hesitate to recommend Frank to anyone!!!"

"Excellent! Dean and Alex were prompt, courteous, friendly, fast, professional, and their prices are very reasonable. Our carpet, which was very stained, looks like new after being steam-cleaned by Perfectly Clear! We are impressed and very grateful. We recommend this company and would definitely hire them again."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

It’s often best to spray on deck sealer. Sprayers can apply sealant more quickly and evenly than rolling while still enabling you to reach tight spaces. When using a sprayer, always use a low-pressure setting at a close distance to ensure an even application. Avoid using sprayers on windy days.

When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.

Satin paint is generally considered a better choice for woodwork—including trim, baseboards, cabinets, and doors—than flatter finishes like eggshell or matte. Its soft sheen enhances architectural details and stands up well to frequent cleaning and daily wear. Compared to eggshell and matte finishes, satin is more durable for high-touch areas because it is less porous and doesn't absorb dirt as easily. Matte finishes, in particular, are prone to scuffs and are harder to clean, making them less practical for surfaces like doors and cabinets.

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.
