"Tommyâ s crew is exceptional and pays attention to detail. I couldnâ t be happier with the job they did and Tommy kept me up to date during the job on our summer cabin. The cleanup was perfect - not one drop of paint where it wasnâ t supposed to be and all cracks and corners painted completely. I HIGHLY recommend!!"

"Eric and the rest of the workers and employees at 247 painting were so amazing. They took such great care in painting my new house for move in!! I wanted some really out there colors for my backsplash and my accent walls in my bedrooms and it came out so great and so clean the edges were so crisp I am so happy. The customer service was top tier. They were so attentive and professional. Everyone equally had enough knowledge to answer my many questions so the process went very smoothly. My house was finished two whole days earlier than expected so that was also a bonus. I will definitely be hiring 247 painting again!!"
"We recently had Mega Power Electric Inc install a solar system and panels. The President and provided excellent communication all the way through the process. He even met with us after installation to explain the almost incomprehensible PG&E bill. Although not the least expensive bid, his was competitive and I felt he was as interested in educating me about solar and the various types of panels and inverter systems as he was in selling a system. He demonstrated how the array of panels would meet our energy needs and as opposed to some of the other companies, wasn't selling us more than we needed. We are very satisfied with our solar system and I highly recommended Mega Power Electric Inc."
"Excellent It was a pleasure to have Jesse work on my beautiful home he also offered payment arrangement witch I loved thank you Jesse’s custom painting"
"Initially we had trouble making an appointment, not entirely the painting contractor's fault. His flexibility and willingness to reschedule our initial appointment was appreciated. He and his workers did a great job. They matched the paint, and did the caulking on a paint job just three years old without any noticeable difference between the new and the old. After he finished this work we hired him to return to re-caulk over half the house where where the caulking had shrunk with time. We now have a snug house. The next time we need a painting contractor we will call him. "
"Jason was incredibly professional. I've had a hard time with contractors giving estimates and timeframes for projects. Not only was he accurate with his estimate he was punctual and clean. I cannot thank him enough for all of his help and time."
"They were excellent, I would highly recommend. Everyone was very professional and showed up right when they said they would. They were gentle and everything arrived intact. They had us on the road in no time."
"All the the painting, inside and out, was great! The team was polite and cleaned up at the end of each day. I could not have asked for a better job! I love my “new home”. Thank you Rods Painting"
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.
The staining or painting process involves cleaning the deck, sanding surfaces, applying a primer (if needed), and carefully applying stain or paint for an even, lasting finish.
It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.
Rags used with oil-based stains are highly flammable and can spontaneously combust in the right conditions. To reduce the fire risk, throw them in a metal container after use and add rocks on top to secure them. Add an inch of water and seal the container. Take the rags in the container to a hazardous waste factory as soon as possible.
No, it is not okay to paint over rotted wood. Painting over rotted wood will not address the underlying issue and can trap moisture, leading to further decay. Properly addressing the rotted wood by removing and replacing or repairing the damaged areas is necessary before you can even consider painting.
