Super Service Award Winner 10 years in a row and almost 35 years of experience serving the Greater San Francisco Bay Area! When it comes to wooden decks, fences, siding, etc., we are leading the industry in cleaning, restoring, refinishing, preserving (staining, sealing) and maintaining all exterior wooden surfaces that are not painted. We do not do new construction, but we do make small repairs. One of our goals is to deliver the highest quality customer service and knowledge of exterior wood restoration, preservation and maintenance. Our policy is that we don't take a dime of your money until the work is done and you are happy. Knowledge about the product is one thing, but delivering outstanding service and running a solid company is equally important. Our mission is to advocate for your money and give good honest advice whether or not you decide to hire us.

The foundation of A+ painting is built on doing the job right, and doing it right only. Family owned and operated business since the early 90's and branch out in 2005. Our core goals in every job is to examine the condition of the surfaces, make recommendations, and to resolve any issues with the job. Then, the next step is the right prep work, applying primers, then finishes. We use products from professional companies like Sherwin Williams, Kelly Moore, etc. The range of the products could be from contractor grades to premiums. But we highly recommend premium products to have long lasting results. We offer free on sight visit and color consultation. We do have reviews on other websites, and they could be viewed upon request. Again, our main goal is a happy, -long term client. And we intend to provide that to you. In Santa Clara County call 408-391-1009. In San Mateo County call 650-906-7072.

"I used George and his crew for the 2nd time because I was so happy using them last summer. As expected, they did an excellent job and my house & deck looks great! George is so easy to talk to and he offers great advice and listens so well to my concerns. The best thing honestly to say about A+ painting is that George takes pride in doing a great job; sadly which is lacking these days with other businesses. I highly recommend him and his crew. He is honestly the best!"

Two Men and a Brush Painting is a small, owner-operated business providing painting and related services across the South Bay and surrounding locales. Established in 1983, we take pride in the fact that 100% of our business comes from satisfied customer referrals and repeat customers--the strongest validations possible. We are also top-rated on YELP.

"Scott painted all the interior walls in our new house, he patched and painted the garage and made it so much nicer, he painted our kitchen cabinets, which turned out beautiful and saved us so much money compared to refacing, and he also painted a tricky accent wall covered with reclaimed wood after patching it, and that changed from a weird problem to an elegant feature of the house. All these projects were expertly done on time while I was away, and his estimates for each were accurate and lower than those of his competitors. When I have other projects I will go straight to him."

We have 3 rental properties and have dealt with a ton of contractors over the years, many have been inconsistent with communication, adhering to agreed upon time frames, and quality of work. Jonathan and his team are top notch. Got back soon after request, arrived on time, job was done quickly, efficiently, and with attention to detail. Very happy with quality of work.

"Another beautiful paint job delivered by Brent Garvey Painting! Outstanding attention to detail. Careful and thorough prep work. Quality products and excellent color matching to my very exacting requirements. An experienced crew of professional painters and a master carpenter arrived everyday on time and left a clean job site at days end. They were very personable and easy to work with.

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

Waterproof paint creates a barrier to hold back moisture, but it doesn’t eliminate the source of the water. If you hire a basement waterproofing contractor, many will tell you that waterproof paint is only a temporary solution. On average, you can expect it to last from six months to two years in a wet basement before deteriorating.

The best type of paint for concrete exterior surfaces like concrete porches, steps, or walkways is high-quality exterior-grade paint with strong weather resistance. Acrylic latex blends with tiny anti-slip particles will help create an anti-slip coating for your concrete porch. This type of paint will stand up best to the elements, especially rain, snow, and ice. An exterior epoxy will also help strengthen your concrete porch.

Painted decks typically require a new coat about once every ten years. In between new coats, it's best to maintain your deck by regularly removing debris, washing it down with non-abrasive cleaners, and staying ahead of structural issues, such as loose boards and rotting wood. In some cases, painting a small section of your deck affected by damage or the sun can lower your costs and workload.

You have a couple of options when choosing a durable pool deck coating. Epoxy is common and offers excellent stain and water resistance. Epoxy also withstands high temperatures and UV lighting, making it ideal for sunny spots. You can also add a coating to cement, which significantly lowers the temperature of the concrete, is environmentally safe, and makes cleanup a breeze.
