"Well, Omar- Owner/Operator of Indigo Paintings has done it again. Last year, they painted the exterior of the home and this time the work was done on the interior of the home. Omar is very hard-working, his prices are reasonable, and he always completes the job ahead of schedule, provided all goes well. This time Omar had the assistance of a very hard-working young man, named Antonio. Antonio was always on time, and pleasant. He often assisted my sister and me when we needed help. So, don’t be fooled by the name Indigo Painting, as the business does much more than paint. My sister and I just can’t say enough about this dynamic dual. Omar and Antonio replaced the flooring in the lower portion of the home and refurbished and refinished several wooden floors in the upper portion of the home. They also replaced several light fixtures and they painted several rooms in the home. Omar and Antonio, my sister, and I can’t thank you both enough for such an Excellent Job! Beverly Johnson"

"Alex & his team did an excellent job painting our mid-century rancher. The entire job was expertly done: Prep was thorough & attentive. All cracks were repaired and sealed, wood trim sanded, grills replaced, window edges sealed. Two coats of prime, two coats of high quality paint which Alex advised on. Painting was smooth, polished, deep and precise. Final walk through matched proposal and any other agreed along the way adjustments. Alex is trustworthy, friendly, honest, fair and has a can-do attitude. He adhered to the timeline and always kept us informed of progress or issues that needed to be addressed. He was patient, flexible, and made sure all of our concerns were addressed. The patient crew was terrific--- on time, hard working, polite, respectful, and of good cheer. They did their jobs well, took pride in their work, cleaned up respected the property every day. Overall, the house looks fantastic--- fresh, energized, extremely well appointed, and more valuable!"

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.

An exterior paint job typically lasts between 5 and 10 years, though this can range from 3 to 17 years depending on several factors. The longevity is influenced by the quality of the paint and primer, the quality of the application, the local climate, and the type of surface being painted. For example, paint on wood siding may need to be redone every 3 to 7 years, while painted brick can last up to 17 years. Aluminum siding often needs repainting every 5 years.

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.

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.

The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage.
