"We are very grateful that we hired Leoni Painting. Our old house had cracked siding in several areas and Anthony worked with our budget to repair what he could and replace what was too damaged. This included locating a vendor that still had access to the out-dated sized siding. He inspected the siding delivered and sent back what was not of good quality. He also worked with our schedule, because we were going out of town. He has also been very willing to do some touch up work. He also provided us with options in selecting the stain for the house and decks. Highly recommend."

"Francisco and crew are really great guys ! They were very professional and got my house painted in record time ! They did a great job from start to finish. I have an old house 1907, and they took great care in masking off the trim, stained glass windows,etc. They were very pleasant while they were working. The price was very fair and the work is outstanding !"

"Entire project went great! Entire exterior of home painted. Omar is great to work with, listened to my desires and answered my questions. He was available when I called and even if not he returned calls immediately. His price was outstanding in comparison to other painters who bid on the project. He cleaned up beautifully after the project. I would definitely hire him again. I could not be happier."

"Steve is very easy to communicate with, and was responsive to any concerns I had. He has a broad range of knowledge in home construction and maintenance, and graciously helped me out with a couple issues I had. The exterior house painting job and deck staining that I hired him for turned out great - and was reasonably priced. I highly recommend him. He's a pro, and a good guy."

"Darrin did a great job transforming my kitchen cabinets. His crew were on time and any questions or concerns were answered and addressed promptly. Compared to the cost of a new kitchen remodel, painting the cabinets was the best option to minimize expense with my remodeling project.. Very pleased with the end product, and overall experience."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Liquid rubber is great for waterproofing, but it can damage your deck if it’s not applied correctly. First, it can trap moisture in the wood if the deck isn’t completely dry before application.  Second, applying it too thickly can create a heavy, rubbery surface layer that peels and cracks under fluctuating temperatures. For the best results, ensure the wood is completely dry before application, and apply the liquid rubber in thin, even coats. A quick inspection every now and then will help you catch any issues early, keeping your deck protected and looking its best.

Most gutter painting pros also specialize in complete home exterior painting. You may save by making your gutter painting part of the cost to paint the exterior of a house in its entirety. Many people have all parts of their home exterior painted simultaneously to keep everything looking equally fresh. Consider having walls, trim, porches, shutters, and doors painted as well.

You’ll want to avoid excessively hot or humid conditions, so it’s best to apply your stain in late spring to early fall. It's also important to watch the weather forecast and aim for days when there isn’t rain expected for at least three days. For new decks, allow the wood to season beforehand for at least four to eight weeks.

Hiring a contractor or professional deck refinisher is the best way to ensure your deck is properly stained. They have the expertise, tools, and supplies to do the job quickly and efficiently. However, staining a deck is a manageable task for most homeowners, and doing the job yourself can save money. Just keep in mind that DIY staining is a long process requiring physical strain, so it may not be the best option for everyone.

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.
