"Extremely professional, diligent and structured, Brett first came out to conduct a visual inspection of the work that needed to be done and to understand what we needed. While at the site, he gave us an overview of how he will approach the work, the time it will take, the process and the schedule. He then sent us a quote with all the details of the work that would be performed. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, Brett had to reschedule. We were informed days in advance of the need to reschedule and he worked with us to figure out a mutually convenient time. A day before the work started Brett gave us a call to confirm as well as review what would be done on the day he would arrive. Brett and his assistant were punctual on the day the project started. They laid down coverings to ensure that our place would remain stain free after they completed the work. They explained what they were going to do and at the end of the day reviewed the tasks that they had completed including the tasks remaining for the next day. They were on time the next day as well, completed the job ahead of time, cleaned up after themselves and reviewed the completed work before they signed off. Brett even worked with us to accommodate a mistake on our end in choosing the color without complaining and without an impact to the original budget. We would highly recommend Brett to anyone looking for painting contractors and intend to use him once again in the very near future. We wish more contractors were as professional and easy to work with."

"Very easy to work with. I'd used them before but this time I got estimates from other contractors and was amazed how much more reasonable Cal Preserving was. The difference may be that the others pointed to additional steps that could be taken. Did Cal Preserving "miss" these things or recognize they weren't necessary--I'm inclined to believe the latter."

"I hired GM painting (habla español) to take care of the interior of my 3 bedroom home and I am glad I did. The improvement of a home it s one of the most important investment and Mr Juan for sure makes you feel comfortable when getting the process of painting done. He is very knowledgeable and shares with you tips on how to take care of the painting of your walls. One thing that caught my attention what s how confident Mr Juan is about the quality of his paint without a hesitation he explain that if something happens to his work in the next few months I can give him a call. I have never heard another painter do that so that a huge plus. So a week after my 1 year old son put the painting to the test. He stained a big part of the dinning wall with spaghetti sauce it was bad. But I did what Mr Juan advice me, to just wipe it with a Cleaning wet wipe and that will do, and it did. Great paint quality super friendly person and is not afraid to share he s knowledge. I 100% recommend this company. He also speaks Spanish. (Habla Español.)"

"Colorblast Painting is awesome,from start to finish,great customer service,I love that it is a family owned company as well.We had our house repainted and some wood rot repaired.Everything done as expected and as listed in proposal.Nathan and Amanda are so nice,I was hoping to have Nathan himself to paint but he was on another job, that's ok,all went well.I would recommend them to anyone and I have already had 3 people stop by and comment on the house saying it looks like a new house,if we have anymore painting needed,we will be calling them back.Oh,and they happen to be the cheapest out of the 3 estimates we got,which is a plus as well."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Beyond liquid rubber, homeowners can use sealants, stains, membranes, or tapes as waterproofing options. Oil-based or water-based sealants soak into the wood, creating a moisture-resistant barrier. Waterproofing stains—available in transparent, semi-transparent, and solid colors—add both protection and style to your deck. For heavy-duty waterproofing, deck membranes and waterproof tapes can be applied under the deck boards to direct water away from the structure below. Whatever method you choose, clean and prep the deck first to ensure the best, longest-lasting results.

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.

It’s best to use an exterior latex acrylic paint to promote maximum adhesion to composite decking. This flexible paint type can better cope with the natural expansion and contraction that can occur with composite deck boards. Oil-based paints won’t adhere as effectively and are more likely to crack and peel as the boards flex. Testing whether your chosen paint will stick on an inconspicuous section or a spare board is a good idea.

Yes, it's a good idea to sand the wall with fine-grit sandpaper after spackling, especially if you plan on painting. You can do this by hand or using a sander, but the idea is to ensure the spackle is flush with the wall. Sanding will give your wall a smooth, uniform finish and help your paint and wallpaper stay put.

Whitewashing isn’t permanent, but it can last for a long, long time. When you apply it correctly or have a seasoned pro whitewash your brick, whitewashing can last for 20 to 30 years or longer. Whitewash is very durable and typically requires little maintenance, making it a great project for most DIYers.
