"Saul and his crew did an excellent job painting the exterior of our house. They were clean, fast and paid attention to details. They power washed, repaired stucco, caulked all joints, masked, used drop clothes everywhere and painted stucco and trim. All painted lines were sharp and clean. They didn’t even damage any roof tiles. Couldn’t be happier and I highly recommend them."

"ECO painting not only painted the house, but also replaced rotten wood, and went above and beyond what was required. We had fragile roof tiles that were contractually required to be replaced if broken. However, none were broken. The team was professional and performed top-notch job! Will use them again in the future."

"We needed our front door refinished as it was fading from the sun. It was stained, not painted, so we wanted a company that could maintain the natural wood appearance. The door came out great. Unlike some other companies that gave estimates, they did the job on site, saving us from having to take off the door. Overall, a great experience at a great price."

"We had two or three estimates from different companies. At the time other issues came up and we decided to postpone painting the house. The estimate was free. The quality of the estimate and the detail into which they looked at the house as we walked around it and looked at it to really make sure they understood what would be necessary in preparation and repair, I think was quite detailed and I thought it was excellent. They were on time and kept their word of that appointment. They didn't walk up, look at it and give me an estimate. They actually walked around and told me verbally before they wrote up the estimate all of the issues that they thought needed to be addressed and the ones they thought did not, and how they could be addressed and what our different options were. Then they prepared an estimate for us. I don't remember it clearly but I think it was 2 or 3 variations on a theme depending to what detail we wanted them to do certain kinds of repair work during preparation. I thought it was completely professional and believable estimate. It was a very good experience. I remember that we did not rule out any of the estimates based on price. All the prices we were given seemed appropriate and in line with the detailed level of work that was to be performed. They would certainly be on our list if we decided to go back after it and actually get the house painting this year. we would certainly consider them. I don't know that I would ask them to come and give us an estimate or not, but they are absolutely on the acceptable list."

"This company is a family business. As soon as you meet Marcos you can tell he understands exactly what the customer needs. Marcos, his brother Ruben, and Diego gave us the neatest paint job possible. Their attention to details is amazing. They took the greatest care painting most of the inside of our house while we lived in it. At all times they treated us and our home with respect instead of a construction site. Donâ t hesitate to hire them for your paint job, youâ ll get a good deal of value for your money on every level."

"We found The Painting Company on Angie's List. The owner came out promptly and gave us an estimate. There was a tremendous amount of prep work and repair of broken siding. The estimate included everything except the two security doors which we contracted for later on and the repair of some broken window panes. The crew arrived promptly every morning at 8 and worked diligently all day. They were polite and helpful; considerate of the neighbors. They carefully taped over new windows which we had installed and made sure the site was clean and tidy every day before they left.  Some of our windows had been painted shut over the years but now all are working well. The foreman, Martin, consulted us frequently and was able to accommodate all our requests. The crew removed cable wiring and carefully replaced it when the job was done.
We are completely satisfied. The Painting Company crew was a pleasure to work with. The whole job took about 10 working days - but every inch of our house is renewed!
The bid was the second lowest we received of three bids.

October 2011 Update: Since we had the Painting Company paint our house, we've had five other contractors (flooring, plumbing, gutters, cement and handyman) come through our property to do different smaller jobs. All five have said some variation of "Wow. This is a terrific paint job!" Compliments from fellow contractors!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

You should refinish your deck to maintain its appearance, durability, and longevity. Refinishing your deck protects the wood from foot traffic and the elements. It also helps extend its life span by keeping rot, mildew, and termites at bay. By maintaining your deck, you can avoid the cost of replacing your deck sooner. A refinished deck also looks great and restores some of its original beauty.

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.

Yes, staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan, typically by five to 10 years. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and rot over time. Applying a treatment creates a protective shield that helps prevent splintering, fading, and decay, preserving the wood's strength and appearance. A combination stain and sealer often provides the best protection, as it soaks into the wood grain rather than just sitting on top. This offers superior defense against UV damage and rot and lasts longer than a sealer alone. To maintain the wood's natural look, consider using a near-translucent stain. You should plan to reapply the stain or sealer every two to three years.

Whether to paint or stain a deck depends on your personal preference for appearance and budget. Stain provides a natural look with a range of undertones, is typically less expensive, and may only require one coat, but it does not last as long as paint. Paint offers a sleeker finish with a virtually unlimited color palette. Both options will protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear.

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface.
