"Jay and his crew did an excellent job painting the interior walls of my home. He communicated clearly ahead of time about what needed to be done, so I always had a good understanding of the process. The work was completed within the expected timeframe, and I’m very pleased with the results. Thank you, Jay."

"The owner initially came to my home to assess the work I needed to have done. He is very knowledgeable about landscaping. The time he spent upfront was greatly appreciated as he fully understood to my landscaping needs. He had great ideas on how to replant a tree, recommend how to control grubs and how to properly care for specific plants. Once the project began the owner was no longer involved. In fact, I never saw him again. In addition to his landscaping services I had him give me a bid for painting my new fence and yard fence. The painting itself was very nicely done however, the worker(s) were careless and left several oil based paint spots damaging 15-20 of my brand new pavers. When I addressed this with The Owner he replied via email his worker(s) told him they didn’t do it. I provided pictures of the pavers as proof to substantiate my claim. The Owner had his lead come by our home to fix a sprinkler head that was covered during sod repair and to remove these stains. When I reached out to The Owner again he solely relied upon his lead who promptly told him the oil based paint stains were removed. The stains still remain, I’ve contacted my pavers company who clearly stated “oil based paint cannot be removed!” It became blatantly obvious the owner was siding with employee. In fact, The Owner not once has stepped foot on my property since he took the bid. He never came to oversee the project and all contact with him has been via email or text. Lastly, we were in agreement to plant a new tree. As of this review, I have never heard back and there was never any follow up as to when this would be done. I really had high hopes In the beginning and I am very disappointed in The Owner’s project management. He appears to be knowledgeable but my recommendation is that he needs to manage his team, stay closer to the project and make an attempt to do a final walk through. Lastly his hourly bill rate was inconsistent vs. negotiated. Hourly rate doubled for final day of painting which I regretfully paid."

"The Brandon Paint Co crew were very professional and efficient. Our house was power washed, stained, and the trim painted in under a week with a beautiful result. Communications on site were friendly, open and timely. Setting up the job occurred before the winter and communications were excellent (from interactions to get an estimate, through documenting the contract, and then keeping us informed on planning/scheduling implementation)."

"Rodney and his team did outstanding work in painting the exterior of our home. Their attention to detail and desire for customer satisfaction permeated every step they took, from pressure washing (Golden State Pressure Washing Services), to prep and paint, to punch list and completion. Their swarm approach resulted in job being completed within a week (at half the cost of other bids.) The team members on site were courteous, respectful, and responsive...couldn t have been more pleasant to work with. A job very well done!"

"We want to share our experience with "Do It Right Painters" owned by Kendal Becker. He and his wife, Sonia are true partners as they work side by side. In 2023 Do It Right Painters was recommended to us by a friend who had them paint his house. We were told their work is above and beyond basic standards and they are perfectionists in the truest sense of the word. We hired them to paint the trim on our house. Many coats of paint were used when needed. Their work far exceeded our expectations. In 2024 we hired them to repair and paint our 20-plus year old fence. Wood was rotted. Support studs were wobbly requiring repair and reinforcement. They tediously and meticulously scraped each piece of wood by hand! They removed and replaced rotted wood with the best quality wood on the market. They braced where needed. The painting began. Their perfectionism came through when they put three or four, not the normal two, coats of paint on each and every board! We watched as our fence returned to its original high standard. They always informed us before proceeding. They explained the problems, what they would do to resolve them, and what it would cost. We trusted them completely. If you want "the best of the best" we highly recommend and endorse hiring "Do It Right Painters.""

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

When applying multiple coats, wait four to six hours for each coat to dry. Not waiting long enough can result in streaks, peeling, and uneven color. Plus, it will be more difficult to discern where the second coat has already been applied.

A concrete overlay is often the most cost-effective way to resurface a pool deck. To do this, you’ll need to pour a thin layer of concrete over the existing pool deck, which you can customize by stamping or painting. A stamped concrete overlay provides additional traction on a pool deck that can help minimize the risk of people slipping and falling.

For the longest-lasting exterior paint, consider acrylic or enamel (oil-based) paints. Acrylic paints, including acrylic latex and acrylic enamel, are known for withstanding harsh weather and sun exposure. Enamel-based paints are also one of the most durable options available. While latex paint is common, it typically has a shorter lifespan than acrylic or oil-based options. The paint's finish also affects its durability; a higher gloss finish is generally more durable. For resistance to moisture and cracking, matte and satin finishes can be effective, while a high-gloss acrylic or oil-based paint offers a combination of maximum longevity and durability.

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. 

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.
