 GREAT!  They provided an excellent paint job on the entire house. They cleaned up after each day and when the job was finished. Also, they had us do a walk-a-round when job was complete for us to point out anything that wasn't satisfactory.. Needless to say, the house was perfect. Excellent job!

"1. I had read reviews of this company online and called to schedule someone to come and give me an estimate of the job.  Joey, the Vice President of the company, came for this first visit.  We went over in detail exactly what I wanted done while he took notes.  I showed him a paint color my husband and I had thought would look good on the house.  He gently countered with a suggestion for two other darker colors, which I thought were too dark.  He said they would put several colors on the house so we could see what we liked and what we didn't like before they bought paint.  Joey assured me that painting would not begin until I was sure what colors I wanted.  He said I would get an estimate via email and 2 days later I got that estimate.  I called the office and scheduled for a tentative start date.  The scheduling of the job was the only slightly confusing part of the project for me.  But I will say that the women in the office are superb and helped me out in this regard.   Their customer service skills are way above par in my experience.
2.  The first day of the project the house and fence were power-washed, all cracks filled and sealed (they even replaced missing concrete in the chimney), re-stuccoed the bottom 5 inches around the entire house which had been damaged by water, re-succoed trim around the 2 rear french doors.
3.  The morning they were to begin painting, sample colors were painted on sections of stucco and trim of the house so I could see what I liked and didn't like.  One of the colors Joey suggested for the stucco was beautiful.  I would have never selected that color from the color chart but it looked amazing on the house.   I did not like the darker color for trim around the windows but agreed it would be a good color for the facia and gutters.  One of the painters suggested that the trim around the windows and doors could be a darker version of the stucco color which is what we ended up doing.  Looks great to us.
4.  The workers always arrived ahead of scheduled and quietly congregated in the street until it was 7:00 a.m.  They worked quickly and quietly for the entire 4 days.  They were professional, skilled and friendly.  They consulted with me on details of what color I wanted various things painted.  At the end of every day (3:00-3:30 p.m.) they would clean up all around the house before they left and notify me when they were leaving.  A supervisor came each morning and at the end of each day to review with the workers and me the status of the job and if I had any issues or questions.  
5.  The job was finished at 2:30 p.m. on day 4.  The workers walked me around the job and asked if everything was o.k.  They left me a can of paint for each color and clearly noted what that paint color was used for, i.g. trim, facia, stucco, iron gates, garage.
6.  James came on the final day to inspect the job and ask if I was o.k. with everything.  He said I could call Kevin at the office to finalize payment.  
I was more than impressed with this company and all of their employees.  It was truly a stress-free experience.  Being an older person raised in the midwest in a family of professional contractors this was like going home and experiencing true, old-fashioned customer service.  My husband and I are thrilled with the results and feel King of the Painters took our house to HGTV style curb appeal.  Thank you for your wonderful work.

"Justin picked up the phone when i called and asked if he could call me right back ( which he did within 2-3 minutes). I explained that I was looking for replacement windows. I was also looking for stucco and paint on the outside of our home. We set a date, he was there promptly. He walked around our home, showed us the window choices ( he even had actual samples for us to try) He explained that his company offered an exterior coating that b will eliminate ever having to paint again. It was some type of coating and sealant ( in my mind kind of what you put on your children teeth when they are young- only it never comes off). He came prepared with forms that had check boxes and he  explained  what each meant. Additionally he wrote out on the contract what was agreed upon. Such as replace any and all bad wood,extra gallons of primer as needed. Little things that I did not even think of but he brought up. He seemed like a straight shooter and after checking Angies list and the BBB I felt comfortable. The window guys showed on on the day they were schedule, And did the complete demolition and installation of the window in ONE day. WOW what a difference. Cody and his crew were in and out, friendly yet professional. Then came team ( when I say team it was actually 2 men) who would do all of the sanding, scraping, replacing the wood, repairing the stucco, do the exterior coating and painting. Let me tell you I do not know what. Chol and Benny make an hour but whatever it is they deserve a raise. They showed up at our house early in the morning and didn't leave till dinner time. It was hotter than h*** out, but they just kept working. They cleaned up each evening before leaving. In my opinion they did an OUTSTANDING JOB. We would recommend Approved Contractors and actually already have. Nick and Diane Ancheta

The prep work was meticulous – they made sure the surfaces were properly cleaned and prepped before applying the paint. The painters were respectful of my property, ensuring that everything was covered and protected."

"Bryan Lugo Painting - Bryan responded immediately and communicated effectively regarding a quote and timeline for our project. Bryan and his crew were efficient, respectful, worked quietly and were meticulous in their attention to detail - from start to finish. They power washed, prepped and patched, primed areas of new stucco and painted out 1700 sq foot home over 3 days - exceeding our expectations. The finished product is exceptional. Bryan and his crew were a pleasure to work with; the project was fairly quoted and we couldn’t be happier. Would utilize Lugo Painting for any other projects - not only for ourselves, but for anyone."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

A wood deck requires annual cleaning and regular inspections for loose or broken boards, nails, and screws. It should be refinished by applying a stain or sealer every two to three years to protect the wood from water damage, rot, mildew, and sun fading. The exact frequency can depend on the climate and the deck's exposure to sun and moisture. If your deck is painted, it will need repainting approximately every 10 years. Signs that your deck needs refinishing include faded, splintering, or warping boards.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.

Yes, staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan, typically by five to 10 years. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and rot over time. Applying a treatment creates a protective shield that helps prevent splintering, fading, and decay, preserving the wood's strength and appearance. A combination stain and sealer often provides the best protection, as it soaks into the wood grain rather than just sitting on top. This offers superior defense against UV damage and rot and lasts longer than a sealer alone. To maintain the wood's natural look, consider using a near-translucent stain. You should plan to reapply the stain or sealer every two to three years.

You can paint over old paint on a concrete porch. For the best results, you should first clean the surface and remove as much paint as you can. A power washer is helpful here, but you’ll also want to scrape as much of the old paint away as possible. Then you should prime the porch before repainting it.

You can refresh a painted deck by either giving it a thorough cleaning or refinishing the deck altogether. Chipped or faded paint, as well as extensive damage, often calls for a new finish. To do this, remove the original coat of paint with a sander and add either a new coat of paint or a stain to protect the wood below.
