"I had a short timeline to paint my house due to a HOA “violation”. From the first phone call to completion of the job, Hughie and his crew were very professional and great to deal with. My house looks miles better than when I bought it, you can tell they take pride in their work as they touched up minor details to ensure it was perfect. I highly recommend Sunguard if you want it done right."

"Jose’s Painting Co. crew was on-time, all the time and did a great job! Truly professional and do impeccable prep-work. They are detail oriented and clean-up after they finish each day. Their prices are fair and their work is solid. Good attitude and customer service! Jose came out to give an estimate and we had one by the end of the day. Would definitely use them again! Happy customers! Thank you, Jose and Jose!"

"Dave and Dan did a great job painting our 3 bedrooms. We needed it on short notice due to movers delivering furniture. Dave was able to make it happen."

"This was a whole house paint job. From the first contact with Dave for an estimate to the finished job working with Oscar who lead the team that did the work I was very happy. The work was quality and the project finished on time."

"I got three bids and James's was the middle price. He arrived quickly to give me a quote, scheduled immediately a few days later when I made up my mind. His crew arrived very punctually (too early for my neighbors, but that's another story). I was amazed at how quickly they did the prep and painting - quoted me four days, painting only took two days (power wash was day before), with some touchups/finishes on day 3. And they did a great job! I had a couple quirky things that they easily folded into the job. The crew were all professional and courteous. There was small amount of painting on the ground at the base of the house (as I expected), but none on the patios/deck. They bent one screen in the process and when I pointed it out, they immediately got it replaced! They were fairly careful with the plants around the house as well. Also, I texted James a few times with various questions or requests, and he was very responsive and helpful. I really liked working with them and would not hesitate to recommend them in the future."

"We hired Denis of Mr. Doctor Painting to paint the entire interior of our condo. We had the best experience with Denis and his son who assisted him. They were very professional, talented and extremely neat. The took 3 days and they arrived on time each day and had it completed as promised. I have had many vendors in my life and I would rate Denis and Mr. Doctor Painting among the very best . The quality is wonderful and both Denis and his son are great guys. Highly Recommend this company for any of your painting needs. Fred"

"Our front door needed a refresh, and Rivera’s team did an outstanding job sanding, staining, and sealing it. The result is stunning — the door now looks brand new and has significantly enhanced the curb appeal of our home. Most importantly, I was unwell and couldn’t be there during the work since it’s our second home, but I had complete confidence in the team. They delivered flawlessly, even in my absence. Highly recommend!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

A five-gallon bucket of deck stain will cover roughly 875 square feet in a single coat. Actual coverage will vary based on the type of wood you’re staining and the number of coats. If you plan on doing multiple coats, multiply the square footage by the number of coats to calculate how many buckets of stain you’ll need.

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.

It is not always necessary to remove old stain before restaining a deck. If the previous stain is in good condition and is compatible with the new stain, you may be able to apply a new coat after thorough cleaning. However, if the old stain is in bad condition, flaking, or peeling, it is best to remove it completely to ensure an even surface and proper adhesion for the new coat. Staining over a damaged layer can lead to an uneven finish and poor penetration. For best results, test a small area first and consult the stain manufacturer's guidelines.

The best temperature to paint a pool deck is between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit, because many paints and sealers require temperatures warm enough for the chemical reaction to take place for proper curing. The paint should not be allowed to freeze, and temperatures above 90 degrees can cause the paint to dry too quickly, also preventing the chemical reaction from following through to completion.
