"These guys were great! I had the same crew every day, led by Abraham. He was very patient with me as I couldn't decide on the color. He brought me several paint samples over several days. Not only does the paint job look wonderful, but they also took great care to not trample my many plants that were close to the house, and not let my two dogs escape during the entire 8 day process. NO mess left behind. Highly recommend!"

"I moved into a new house and needed two rooms painted before my furniture arrived. Jose was my third painter, after the previous two were no show. He came on time for the estimate, pointed out the over painting on some of the frames and asked if I wanted that corrected. He showed up on time to complete the job and did an amazing job. It was perfect and his clean up was great. I highly recommend Jose."

"They did an excellent job of painting the interior of the house, including covering the old and new patched areas with texture, creating a beautiful interior walls. They also painted the decking of the balconies and the railing. The interior looks like a new home. They did a great job and I would use them again and recommend them to anyone."

"Christian and his crew of 6 painted my 3800 square foot home in 2 days. Additionally, they accommodated my request to add an additive to the paint for insulation. They were professional and neat. They went beyond the agreement and painted other out buildings. The crew had a good attitude and worked well together."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.

The best exterior paint for the job of painting your front porch depends on the material you’ll be painting. Acrylic paint is often recommended for a wooden porch as it’s durable and easy to apply. If your porch is made of concrete, you’ll need to find a formula suited to that material.

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. 

Satin paint is generally considered a better choice for woodwork—including trim, baseboards, cabinets, and doors—than flatter finishes like eggshell or matte. Its soft sheen enhances architectural details and stands up well to frequent cleaning and daily wear. Compared to eggshell and matte finishes, satin is more durable for high-touch areas because it is less porous and doesn't absorb dirt as easily. Matte finishes, in particular, are prone to scuffs and are harder to clean, making them less practical for surfaces like doors and cabinets.

Yes, it is important to wash your deck before painting to ensure the paint applies well and adheres properly. While you don't have to use a pressure washer, it is one of the most efficient cleaning methods. Pressure washing can quickly remove dirt, wood fibers, and flaked paint, getting deeper into the wood than manual scrubbing. You can also clean the deck with a stiff broom and a cleaning solution. Regardless of the method, a clean surface is essential for good paint adhesion. Make sure the deck is completely dry before applying any paint.
