"House Painting Inc painted our 2-story house in 8 days. They did a flawless job, great workmanship, always on time. Half the time was spent on patching, sending, prepping, power washing, vine removal which no prior company has done to this extent and this well over the last 15 years. The difference matters. Previously we have had an invasion of an army of half-trained folks completing the job in 5 days, sometimes covering entire vines on the side of the house with paint without removing them. The extra $s definitely were worth it and a fair price. Great job! Once we get ready to paint the inside we'll be calling them again."

"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."

"Christian and his crew of 6 painted my 3800 square foot home in 2 days. Additionally, they accommodated my request to add an additive to the paint for insulation. They were professional and neat. They went beyond the agreement and painted other out buildings. The crew had a good attitude and worked well together."

"We had them pressure wash and re-stain our redwood deck. Ricardo is a great guy, extremely personable and will go over and above to make sure you're happy as a client. We intend on using them again, when the need arises."

"I think the family was very nice and their crew was also nice. They came out everyday to check on the progress and most importantly they finished on time. They came a day early and finished a day early, even with one rain delay day. My house needed A LOT of prep work which I really appreciate the quality of work the crew did. They sold the project as if the family comes out and does the work, but they are actually the General Contractor of the project with a hired crew. some things to consider before hiring anyone: I think I would have liked a little more time to choose the paint color. I felt a little rushed and would have liked to have gone a little more traditional with bolder color choices, but at the end of the day it was my choice to proceed and it did turn out really nice. They said they would handle cleaning up all the plants and trees around the perimeter of the house so i wouldn't haven't hire a gardener. Had I known that all the planting around the perimeter would be destroyed, I may have rethought my timing and cleaned it out in advance. It took me three weekends to cutback the trees, remove the damaged succulents, and repair the sprinklers. I should have also taken everything into my garage to avoid overspray on furniture and breakage of solar lamps, plants, and decorative pieces that had to be removed or replaced. I did send them all my receipts and did all the work myself, and they said they will send me a check. I think that is fair. I didn't ask for the 5% discount from Home Repair as I knew the house needed a lot of work, and the 5% is more than the repairs. Most of the damage was due to the extensive amount of repairs they had to do, so I think it was inevitable. Overall I love my house and I got my orange door, which makes all the difference in the character.The neighbors love it, too."

"Removal of old paint with pressure washers was sloppy. Paint chips were scattered everywhere including other neighbor. Chips are still on the ground. Painting itself went very well. completed job looks very good."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

If your biggest concern is making sure your deck doesn’t show dirt, opt for a darker neutral color that blends in well with your surrounding landscape. A rich brown or dark grey are both good options that work with a variety of house colors. A high-quality acrylic paint is easy to clean and maintain, so it might be worth spending the money on.

Various kinds of substances and deck preservatives act as protective coatings for wood to prevent rot, which is caused by water getting into the wood and creating cracks and splits. Stains, paints, and sealants are the three best options to protect your wood, but there are also oils, varnishes, and waxes available. You’ll need to reapply sealant at least once per year, and you should inspect your wood deck regularly to look for signs of damage or general wear and tear.
