"Bruce did a good job of keeping us informed when what would be done on our deck. Everything went so quick once we decided to go with them. The deck looks like new again."

"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

Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years.

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.

Hot, intense sunshine can cause your stain to dry too quickly, which could lead it to look uneven or patchy. If you’re staining the deck during hotter months, it’s best to do it in the morning or evening once the wood has had time to cool down. If you’re staining in cooler weather with less sunshine, the time of day won’t make as much of a difference.

Yes, it's a good idea to sand the wall with fine-grit sandpaper after spackling, especially if you plan on painting. You can do this by hand or using a sander, but the idea is to ensure the spackle is flush with the wall. Sanding will give your wall a smooth, uniform finish and help your paint and wallpaper stay put.

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.
