"Tracy and his painting crew professionally completed the exterior paint job with amazing results. I would recommend their services anytime. My house color scheme was exactly what I wanted and Tracy was responsive the entire timeframe of the project. His crew also touched up extra odds and ends. Their work standards have been the BEST contractor work that I have encountered out of all my Rental Home projects. Thanks, Tracy"
"I had a great experience with Nestor from Quality Wise Painting. He painted all the interior of my home and was punctual, communicative, and very friendly. If you are looking for one of the best companies out there, do not look any."
"I could not be more happier to find a more courteous painter than West Coast Painting. Jake was upfront and honest and shared every little detail of the job. The crew was always on time, friendly and dedicated to getting the job done right. We did have another painter to paint the house but we did not hear back and the one time we did they only wanted to amend the price up. West Coast Painting stick to the price we agreed to. We will be using them for future projects and will be recommending them to friends and family."
"We highly recommend Aggressive Painting Services! Edgar Avila and his team were professional, thorough, and hardworking from start to finish. They pressure-washed the entire house before beginning and made sure everything was properly prepared. They also cleaned up after themselves and left absolutely no mess behind.
They even repaired some siding that our dog had chewed up, which we truly appreciated. The team was respectful, detail-oriented, and clearly takes pride in their work. We couldn’t be happier with the final result — their work looks fantastic!"
"Did a fabulous painting job on our 1908 home in old downtown San Leandro, despite some delay due to El Nino. Also sanded refinished deck to look almost new."
Choosing the right product involves understanding deck material, desired finish, and local weather conditions. Opt for high-quality, weatherproof formulations ensuring long-term durability and appearance retention.
Always wait until the morning dew has dried before you stain your deck. The stain needs a fully dry surface to sink into.
You can use latex or acrylic paint outdoors. Although acrylic paint tends to last longer outside, it also costs more, so if you’re painting the outside of your house, for instance, latex paint is often a go-to option. However, acrylic will be your best choice if you want to spend some extra money for added durability.
Yes, you can waterproof any wood that has not already been treated. A good way to test this is to splash some water on it. If the water starts to bead up, the wood is treated and most likely doesn’t need another coating.
You can refresh a painted deck by either giving it a thorough cleaning or refinishing the deck altogether. Chipped or faded paint, as well as extensive damage, often calls for a new finish. To do this, remove the original coat of paint with a sander and add either a new coat of paint or a stain to protect the wood below.
