"We have used CG PRO PAINTING SERVICES 5 or 6 times for paint and stain projects from exterior trim, fences, interior windows, and ceiling renovations. Several different crews have been involved and all were pleasant, fast, productive, and clean ... the quality was always excellent. Starting on schedule has been a minor issue."

"Francisco and his team did a fantastic job in giving my 2 story home a fresh new look. Prep work included power wash and chipped and peeling old paint removal. Francisco found damaged wood areas that other quotes missed and did a great job with the replacement. Also replaced a damaged sliding door assembly and added custom built shutters. Great working with someone who was honest, friendly and professional. Will definitely use him on future projects."

"I wanted to love this company as their paperwork was very professional and the rep was very personable. However, when they said they would sand the roof and deck, it turns out that very little was actually sanded before they lay down a solid stain. They did spray and back fill the whole deck, the roof, the trim around a window, and the wood under the fascia, along with the entire railing around the deck. It looks much better, although I can see flakes of the old paint that were pasted down with the new spray, and part of the roof was not covered very well. The rep said that the work was guaranteed for 3 years, but that is not mentioned in the paperwork I received. I would have felt better if the cost had not been so high. I guess I expected perfection for $3,000."

"Geoff and his team were very meticulous, professional, experienced and really good people. We were very impressed with all the prep work done before the actual painting of the exterior was started. We highly, very highly recommend Adesion painting and plan to use them for future projects."

"We wanted high quality paint and even with the added expense his estimate was half of others and completed the job in 1\3 the time of other estimates with high quality results. He removed over 700 sq. ft. of popcorn ceiling and with too many defects in the sheet rock skip troweled at no extra charge. He provided advice on how to help the drying process, continued care and wait 30 days before hanging art or other decorations. The entire interior was painted including ceilings in 4 days and done with high quality workmanship."

"Jorge is a perfectionist! Painted our entire home interior and twice stained our exterior deck. Super attention to detail and pointing out things I didnâ t even ask for. Kept exactly to his estimate. Knowledgeable about products and options. Pleasant to have in our home. Even cleaned our chandelier for us! I have already recommended Jorge Bello to friends, and will use his services again for sure."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

The best temperature to paint a pool deck is between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit, because many paints and sealers require temperatures warm enough for the chemical reaction to take place for proper curing. The paint should not be allowed to freeze, and temperatures above 90 degrees can cause the paint to dry too quickly, also preventing the chemical reaction from following through to completion.

Yes, many repair services include repainting to match the color of the existing siding or walls. Most professionals offer this service to ensure the repaired area blends in seamlessly.

The need for a topcoat on a painted deck depends on various factors, primarily the type of paint used and your desired level of protection. Many premium deck paint formulations are self-sealing, eliminating the necessity for an additional topcoat. These paints often have built-in additives that substantially protect against moisture, UV rays, and everyday wear and tear.

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.
