"Very well, Eddie and his crew did an excellent job painting the interior of our home. They completed the work on schedule, cleaned up everyday and were careful moving household items. Eddie also did an excellent job sanding and staining our front door when other companies said to just paint the door, that it was too much trouble to re-stain. Eddie also guarantees his work and works hard to make sure you are happy with the final results when work is completed."

"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!"

"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!!"

"Todd and his crew did an excellent job that exceeded my expectations. First, he showed up on time for the estimate and give me a written estimate before end of that same day. Second, he showed up on time and worked long hours to complete that job. Todd and his crew had excellent attention to detail. His team are experienced and knows what they are doing. The house he painted belongs to my 98 year old Mother who said "....the painter did a very good job and I would recommend him to anyone. " She also added: "They are nice local people too" Praise by my Mom does not come easy! So thanks Todd, you made whole process pain free and easy for me."

"Martin returned our call promptly. He was very courteous and explained everything he was going to do. Once he completed it, I was not completely satisfied so I asked him to come back. He once again explained something I missed from previous explanation but with absolutely no hesitation he agreed to fix it. Came a couple days later and completed it to my satisfaction. He is very professional I would recommend him to anyone."

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.

Yes, beginners can use a paint sprayer, but there is a learning curve. It's important to go slowly, read the instructions thoroughly, and spend some time learning the technique. Watching tutorial videos for your specific paint sprayer model can be very helpful. Before starting your main project, practice on a scrap surface to get used to the sprayer and avoid common issues like overspraying, which can cause drips, bubbles, and other imperfections. For safety, always wear a mask and gloves, and be careful not to touch the sprayer's tip when it's in use, particularly with high-powered airless sprayers.

Costs depend on coating type, labor, site preparation, and required finishes.

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.

Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint.
