"I used George and his crew for the 2nd time because I was so happy using them last summer. As expected, they did an excellent job and my house & deck looks great! George is so easy to talk to and he offers great advice and listens so well to my concerns. The best thing honestly to say about A+ painting is that George takes pride in doing a great job; sadly which is lacking these days with other businesses. I highly recommend him and his crew. He is honestly the best!"

"Rolando wants to provide the best results and makes excellent recommendations that you should consider and discuss. Lower cost (cheaper paints) don’t necessarily give you the best or lasting results. His team is very meticulous and does a great job in prepping and cleanup."

Small jobs welcome

"The entire team was very professional and polite from the moment they entered our home and until they left. The appointment was easy to make, clear directions on what to do before techs arrived, on arrival they explained exactly what they was going to do, toured the house with us to insure nothing was missed, they were careful with furniture and personal property as well. They cleaned up after themselves, showed before and after photos, treated our home with care and consideration, as if it was their own. We can?t say enough good things about this company and our techs. They made us feel like a valued customer and our money is very important. We would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for paint projects, big or small. Thank you so much!!!"

"Victor and the Prestige team did a fantastic job on repainting the trim of our house, as well as refinishing the wood window trim indoors. They helped us find a perfect match for the interior wood trim, which is not an easy task. They provided several different stain options, and we could see in real-time what the stains looked like so that we made a decision we would be happy with. Highly recommend, will hire them again."

"Painted the exterior of my two story stucco home and did a great job. We had some scheduling issues that were my own doing and they were handled with ease. Stucco repair was required in several locations and that was done well. Worked well, crew did not disturb neighbors. I will hire them again for any painting work I may require. Alex is a good man."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

It’s best to use an exterior latex acrylic paint to promote maximum adhesion to composite decking. This flexible paint type can better cope with the natural expansion and contraction that can occur with composite deck boards. Oil-based paints won’t adhere as effectively and are more likely to crack and peel as the boards flex. Testing whether your chosen paint will stick on an inconspicuous section or a spare board is a good idea.

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. 

Pressure-treated wood lasts at least 10 years, but with the right care and treatment, it can last as long as 40 years. Painting the boards is one way to increase the lifespan of pressure-treated wood. The layer of paint provides extra protection for the wood against the exterior elements and insects.

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.

Oxygen bleach uses hydrogen peroxide as a base and won’t harm wood when using it as a cleaner. On the other hand, chlorine bleach breaks down wood at the cellular level and causes irreversible harm. Although you may not see immediate damage to wood after exposing it to chlorine bleach, its strength and integrity are now compromised.
