"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."

"1. I had read reviews of this company online and called to schedule someone to come and give me an estimate of the job.  Joey, the Vice President of the company, came for this first visit.  We went over in detail exactly what I wanted done while he took notes.  I showed him a paint color my husband and I had thought would look good on the house.  He gently countered with a suggestion for two other darker colors, which I thought were too dark.  He said they would put several colors on the house so we could see what we liked and what we didn't like before they bought paint.  Joey assured me that painting would not begin until I was sure what colors I wanted.  He said I would get an estimate via email and 2 days later I got that estimate.  I called the office and scheduled for a tentative start date.  The scheduling of the job was the only slightly confusing part of the project for me.  But I will say that the women in the office are superb and helped me out in this regard.   Their customer service skills are way above par in my experience.
2.  The first day of the project the house and fence were power-washed, all cracks filled and sealed (they even replaced missing concrete in the chimney), re-stuccoed the bottom 5 inches around the entire house which had been damaged by water, re-succoed trim around the 2 rear french doors.
3.  The morning they were to begin painting, sample colors were painted on sections of stucco and trim of the house so I could see what I liked and didn't like.  One of the colors Joey suggested for the stucco was beautiful.  I would have never selected that color from the color chart but it looked amazing on the house.   I did not like the darker color for trim around the windows but agreed it would be a good color for the facia and gutters.  One of the painters suggested that the trim around the windows and doors could be a darker version of the stucco color which is what we ended up doing.  Looks great to us.
4.  The workers always arrived ahead of scheduled and quietly congregated in the street until it was 7:00 a.m.  They worked quickly and quietly for the entire 4 days.  They were professional, skilled and friendly.  They consulted with me on details of what color I wanted various things painted.  At the end of every day (3:00-3:30 p.m.) they would clean up all around the house before they left and notify me when they were leaving.  A supervisor came each morning and at the end of each day to review with the workers and me the status of the job and if I had any issues or questions.  
5.  The job was finished at 2:30 p.m. on day 4.  The workers walked me around the job and asked if everything was o.k.  They left me a can of paint for each color and clearly noted what that paint color was used for, i.g. trim, facia, stucco, iron gates, garage.
6.  James came on the final day to inspect the job and ask if I was o.k. with everything.  He said I could call Kevin at the office to finalize payment.  
I was more than impressed with this company and all of their employees.  It was truly a stress-free experience.  Being an older person raised in the midwest in a family of professional contractors this was like going home and experiencing true, old-fashioned customer service.  My husband and I are thrilled with the results and feel King of the Painters took our house to HGTV style curb appeal.  Thank you for your wonderful work.

"Alex and his team did a great job on our house. His price was fair and he did everything he said in the contract. They showed up everyday when they said, worked all day and left our property clean and in good condition. If you need some house painting done, I highly recommend them."

"Justin picked up the phone when i called and asked if he could call me right back ( which he did within 2-3 minutes). I explained that I was looking for replacement windows. I was also looking for stucco and paint on the outside of our home. We set a date, he was there promptly. He walked around our home, showed us the window choices ( he even had actual samples for us to try) He explained that his company offered an exterior coating that b will eliminate ever having to paint again. It was some type of coating and sealant ( in my mind kind of what you put on your children teeth when they are young- only it never comes off). He came prepared with forms that had check boxes and he  explained  what each meant. Additionally he wrote out on the contract what was agreed upon. Such as replace any and all bad wood,extra gallons of primer as needed. Little things that I did not even think of but he brought up. He seemed like a straight shooter and after checking Angies list and the BBB I felt comfortable. The window guys showed on on the day they were schedule, And did the complete demolition and installation of the window in ONE day. WOW what a difference. Cody and his crew were in and out, friendly yet professional. Then came team ( when I say team it was actually 2 men) who would do all of the sanding, scraping, replacing the wood, repairing the stucco, do the exterior coating and painting. Let me tell you I do not know what. Chol and Benny make an hour but whatever it is they deserve a raise. They showed up at our house early in the morning and didn't leave till dinner time. It was hotter than h*** out, but they just kept working. They cleaned up each evening before leaving. In my opinion they did an OUTSTANDING JOB. We would recommend Approved Contractors and actually already have. Nick and Diane Ancheta

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

To make sure the paint won’t bubble as you apply it, make sure to paint on a day that’s cooler than 85 degrees Fahrenheit. When the temperature is too high, the paint won’t dry evenly, which can result in bubbles forming on the surface. Another way to prevent paint from bubbling is to clean the walls, apply primer, and let everything dry completely before you begin.

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.

Ideally, it's best to stain your dock once per year. Applying stain doesn't just keep it looking nice and new; it also helps extend the dock’s lifespan. Since you want to ensure water levels are at their lowest, it's best to have this project done by a professional dock repair service in the cooler autumn or early winter months. 

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.

Ensure gutters and downspouts remain clean, monitor wall integrity, and promptly address any arising imperfections or peels concept permanence rooted.
