"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."

"Francisco and his team did a fantastic job in giving my 2 story home a fresh new look. Prep work included power wash and chipped and peeling old paint removal. Francisco found damaged wood areas that other quotes missed and did a great job with the replacement. Also replaced a damaged sliding door assembly and added custom built shutters. Great working with someone who was honest, friendly and professional. Will definitely use him on future projects."

"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."

"Geoff and his team were very meticulous, professional, experienced and really good people. We were very impressed with all the prep work done before the actual painting of the exterior was started. We highly, very highly recommend Adesion painting and plan to use them for future projects."

"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 contracted King of the Painters to paint the exterior of our home in Clairemont after reading customer reviews about their services. We met with the companies owners who were very helpful in helping us select a new house paint color scheme. The workers were on time and cleaned up the work site each afternoon. We had a few issues with the job and called them to report the issues and they were very quick to come out to correct the discrepancies. We would recommend using them to anyone."

"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

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.

Satin paint is generally considered a better choice for woodwork—including trim, baseboards, cabinets, and doors—than flatter finishes like eggshell or matte. Its soft sheen enhances architectural details and stands up well to frequent cleaning and daily wear. Compared to eggshell and matte finishes, satin is more durable for high-touch areas because it is less porous and doesn't absorb dirt as easily. Matte finishes, in particular, are prone to scuffs and are harder to clean, making them less practical for surfaces like doors and cabinets.

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.

You’ll need to wait until the surface is completely dry, which can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours under optimal conditions. The waiting period depends on several factors, including the type of siding and the weather conditions. Trying to paint before the surface is completely dry can trap moisture under the paint, leading to bubbling, blistering, and mold growth.

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.
