"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.

"Nile was prompt in providing the job estimate and answered all my questions quickly. He estimated the job would take two guys 1 day. Although his price was the highest of the 3 that I received. I thought paying 50% more than the next highest estimate would get me a better job. Not quite.
The two painters showed up on time on the appointed day and worked until the end of the day and then told me that the popcorn material they applied to the ceiling may not dry white in color. So, they will have to come back again a second day to repaint the patched ceiling areas. A few hours after they left, I noticed that the cinder block wall that was painted with special water resistant material started turning light brown in many spots meaning something was bleeding through. Nile said he didn't know the paint he got didn't have a stain blocker.
As a result, the cinderblock wall also needed to be repainted. I also noticed that parts of the cinder block wall were not adequately painted and the gray block wall was showing through the single coat of paint. Nile agreed that parts of the wall were ?thin?. He said he?ll have it covered up as stated in the scope work. One painter came back the second day and said because the special sealer paint he applied to wall, he will have to come back again on a 3rd day to put a finish coat on the newly treated areas. This surprise meant that I had to remove all the stored garage items out of the way again and park the cars outside for another night.
Early on the 3rd day, the painter was to arrive to finish the job at 7 am, but arrived late. The painter told me he was late because he was working on another paint job until 2am that morning. Guess that made it my problem.  Compared to other reviews of this company, my expectations for experience and work quality were not met. In this case, one doesn't always get what they paid for."

"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

"We hired Greg and the team at Fercho's to paint our home. It needed extensive stucco repairs, including matching of a pattern, and lots of prep work before they could even get started. Other painters told us someone else had to get the place ready to paint. Not Fercho's! They did the whole job start to finish, with an incredible attention to detail. You can see the pride Greg takes in his work! Stucco, soffits, garage door, front and back doors - all perfectly painted - looking like new. They cleaned up at the end of each day - meticulously. We are very happy with the work and the price. We have already started thinking about an interior project... It will be with Fercho's. Our house after Fercho's restored it."

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.

DIY is possible but presents risks of uneven surfaces or improper adhesion; professionals offer expertise to ensure a lasting finish.

The best type of paint for concrete exterior surfaces like concrete porches, steps, or walkways is high-quality exterior-grade paint with strong weather resistance. Acrylic latex blends with tiny anti-slip particles will help create an anti-slip coating for your concrete porch. This type of paint will stand up best to the elements, especially rain, snow, and ice. An exterior epoxy will also help strengthen your concrete porch.

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.

Here's the deal with leaving used rags covered in oil-based stain lying around in a pile: Depending on the conditions, these rags can take just an hour or up to a few days to combust. The source of ignition is caused by trapped heat that can be compounded if the rags are near a heat source.
