"Excellent. Rick Jamison Painting did an amazing stain job on our new wood garage doors. They were able to sand and stain all our current gates to match back to new garage. Very professional, friendly and reliable company. I would highly recommend."

"Fantastic work! Initial exterior painting in 2011 was done flawlessly and still looks good except that the front of my home acquired some water damage due to improperly installed gutter. Mr. Lee was very helpful in identifying the problem. He also gave some excellent suggestions regarding water stains and pooling on my property. After getting the water problems fixed, I went ahead and had House Painting repaint the front of my house, and touch up some interior areas. The crew was fantastic for both jobs. There was a very professional foreman, Johnny, who was there every day. He went over the plans and the progress each day. For both exterior and interior, the crew was meticulous in protecting surrounding areas from dust or paint and for the clean up. These are professionals who take their time to prep surfaces properly and let them dry before painting. Could not be more pleased in all aspects of their work and will certainly call upon this company for any painting in the future."

"Jose and his crew did an excellent job and always conducted themselves like gentlemen. Jose was very patient and helpful in making the color choices for the paint and stain. I have container plants around the house. They took pictures of how they were arranged. They moved them away from the house before starting and put them back where they originally were when they were finished. They tidied up at the end of each day. They thoroughly cleaned up when the job was completed, leaving nothing behind. Jose and his crew were a pleasure to work with. We are very happy with their work."

"They did an excellent job of painting the interior of the house, including covering the old and new patched areas with texture, creating a beautiful interior walls. They also painted the decking of the balconies and the railing. The interior looks like a new home. They did a great job and I would use them again and recommend them to anyone."

"I must say George Parks was a refreshing difference from all the contractors we had quoted from. Out of the 5 contractors that bid for us, George, as the sole proprietor, came out and gave us straight forward, no-nonsense bid. He was methodical in his site inspection work and gave us a best case scenario of how the ideal roof repair was supposed to go. He wasn't slick or gimmicky with pricing. I knew right away this guy took a ton of pride in his family's tradecraft. He also built into the pricing to account for unexpected surprises like wood damage and he was also willing to work with me on pricing when our actual roof dimensions was larger than the estimate I provided for him on area, which consequently meant more materials needed to finish the project. George pulled all the necessary permits and handled all the city paperwork. The project took about 7-10 days to complete which included exterior paint, decking repair, stucco repair, wood repair and restoration. His crew showed up on time and kept the site very clean. George served as foreman and was there every single day without fail. We spent 30 minutes each day with a work in progress walk around and updates whenever a major phase was completed. At all times, he was keeping an eye on the quality control and ferrying supplies to keep the crews working on schedule. His crews are experienced, polite, and punctual. In the end, he cleaned up the site better than he left it. The house now looks brand new and the painting looks immaculate. He was the right combo of services for us. We had hard to paint areas (like the chimney and high rooftop trims) and the fact we had coordinated with the roofing schedule, the outcomes were better than if they were done in piecemeal. The painters were able to reach difficult areas that would have required scaffolding but since we did the roof at the same time, they were able to integrate access to hard areas seamlessly in the schedule. This was a significant repair for us but I felt I had my money well spent on all the work that needed to be done. He was fair, honest, punctual, transparent, and experienced. He stood firm on his quote with no up-sells. He budgeted for allowances for unseen surprises within reason. He also stood behind his workmanship. A+ work."

"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."

"I highly recommend this painting company.  We have had our house painted several times in the last 22 years and Dream Painting was by far the superior service.  Professional from start to finish. On time each morning, cleanup each evening. My biggest concern was the thoroughness of the prep work.  An older home has many imperfections.  The thoroughness of the preparation of all the different types of surfaces was amazing,  more than we would have imagined.  Power washing was completed and clear plastic was used to cover and protect all unpainted areas including concrete walkways, decking, pool and even my neighbor's car.  Bare wood, that had been recently installed during the installation of the new roof,  was primered and stucco repair was done with a concrete mix where even the smallest hairline crack was addressed. The house was completely painted by day three with the crew returning on day four (a Saturday) to paint a downspout that had been missed.  Even now, I cannot find any evidence of overspray.  After completion, all we had to do was reinstall the screens. No cleanup required.

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Avoid using cleaning products that are abrasive or contain bleach or acidic components on composite decking to avoid discoloration. Early-generation Trex decking isn’t designed to handle pressure washer cleaning—and if you use them on second-generation boards, always use a low setting to avoid the risk of damage that can risk voiding your warranty.

When choosing between deck stain or paint, knowing what will last longer is important. Deck paint lasts longer than deck stain. With deck paint, you can get up to 10 years of coverage before you need to reapply. With deck stain, that time is significantly shorter at two to three years

Choosing the best color for your home exterior should factor in longevity as well as your personal taste. To keep your house looking newly painted as long as possible, stay away from red paint. Although red homes pop and are quintessential for country-style barns, red paint tends to fade fastest in the sun. Go with earth tones if you want paint that best resists fading.

Oxygen bleach uses hydrogen peroxide as a base and won’t harm wood when using it as a cleaner. On the other hand, chlorine bleach breaks down wood at the cellular level and causes irreversible harm. Although you may not see immediate damage to wood after exposing it to chlorine bleach, its strength and integrity are now compromised.

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.
