"Dave was punctual and was very hardworking, making sure my new decking system was installed correctly. He took the time to install each layer of the decking system and made the finished surface graded so the water drained off perfectly. I would hire him again if I ever need to redo my deck."

"Josh has done all the work on our doors from the original application of a custom stain which I love. He has done an amazing job. He came back it has been 2 years just to put a new top coat to maintain the door finish."

"We were extremely pleased first with the promptness of the crew. The meticulous attention to details and consulting with us on any questions regarding what we could expect. The preparation , sanding, power  washing, covering of plants, etc. was exceptional. Many paint colors were tried before we found the one we wanted.We also had our deck and railings painted and again meticulous preparation and attention to all problems of wood, etc. The crew was as unobtrusive as possible, very polite and friendly.  Same experience with the interior crew.  Very accommodating to additional requests - always asking if I was pleased with result.  Added bonus of free touchups anywhere in house.  Will definitely use again and recommend.

"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."

"My entire experience with John and Casey from Certa Pro painters was top-notch. John demonstrated professionalism, accuracy, and good old customer service. Throughout the entire job, from the initial estimate to working with my budget constrictions he does all he can to make the experience exceptional. Casey was my job foreman and rescued a fireplace that was held together with bubblegum a masking tape. He also covered numerous water stains perfectly and brought a bay window back to life. My new home is now absolutely beautiful inside. If you had seen my home before CertaPro painters had taken such good care of it you would certainly be as happy as I am with their work. I have already had two neighbors who knew what bad shape the inside of my home was in, love the paint job and ask me who painted the inside of my home."
Staining or painting kitchen cabinets can give your kitchen a brand new look without the cost of replacing the cabinets.
Stripes are popular and can be done in many different colors. Pink is just the right color for this little girl's nursery.
Painting the risers, banisters, and handrails on a stairway cn really make the difference in something that is often overlooked.
This modern home looks spectacular with the grey base color and stark white, contrasting the blue tinted windows.
This newer home makes great use of a popular earth tone color scheme, allowing the architectural features to stand on their own.

"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."

Customers say: True professional

"Jon and his crew did excellent work.  They were here before 8AM on all but the last day, including Saturday. The house needed extensive care, as it had not been painted since I moved in 14 years ago. I had had some repair work done on the house by other contractors  (carpentry and stucco) so it was mostly ready for paint prep work and painting when the  Anytime crew arrived. It took them 6 days, ending on 8/5/2014,, though the last day was only a half day as all they had left to do on that day was the deck floor and some minor touch-up. I chose the colors, and had a hard time deciding on the paint between Behr and Dunn-Edwards.  Jon recommended the latter. I paid separately for the paint but Jon ordered it and had it delivered (a contractor can get a MUCH better price than an individual can). The price shown here was for everything, including labor and paint. And this involved, in most areas, either primer and paint or two coats of paint. I chose colors very close to what was already on the house. 
The only issue was that the crew didn't speak much English.  Jon did, but was only here briefly each day. But that produced no serious problems--I e-mailed Jon a few times when he was not here and he took care of my concerns and recommendations. I'd use them again (and probably will).

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

The longevity of paint on wood depends on factors like the quality of the paint, surface preparation, exposure to elements, and maintenance. Exterior paint on wood surfaces can last 5 to 15 years or more with proper care and maintenance. Interior paint tends to have a longer life span, often 10 years or more. Regular cleaning, touch-ups, and addressing any issues like peeling or cracking can extend the life of the paint. 

Beyond liquid rubber, homeowners can use sealants, stains, membranes, or tapes as waterproofing options. Oil-based or water-based sealants soak into the wood, creating a moisture-resistant barrier. Waterproofing stains—available in transparent, semi-transparent, and solid colors—add both protection and style to your deck. For heavy-duty waterproofing, deck membranes and waterproof tapes can be applied under the deck boards to direct water away from the structure below. Whatever method you choose, clean and prep the deck first to ensure the best, longest-lasting results.

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

Deciding whether to stain or paint a pool deck depends on your budget, desired look, and the deck's material. Both options can work. Paint offers a wider variety of color options, provides excellent water resistance, and can last longer. However, it requires a primer and can eventually fade or peel. Stain is often cheaper, easier to apply, and penetrates the wood for a more natural look and longer-lasting finish. It also has great water resistance. The downsides are fewer color options and the need for a sealant. The choice can also depend on the deck material; for example, staining may be a better option for concrete as it bonds well and lasts longer than paint.

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.
