"Alton did incredible work. He was very patient as I tried out many different samples to find the exact color. He worked efficiently and professionally. The job site was cleaned up every day. And the final project is even better than I imagined. Excellent work!"

"H&M did a superior job on all of the interior paint on our new home. They came in the day after closing and worked to get the job done even during the holidays and all for a very fair price! I canâ t say enough about the results, willingness to work around our schedules (we were coordinating multiple services at the same time so that we were ready on move in day), and the awesome customer service! Thanks you guys - we will see you this spring for exterior paint ð ð »ð !"

"We chose Painting Plus over 3 other companies that we obtained quotes from. Not only was the quote reasonable, but the timing, the professionalism, the package deals of services offered was what made us decide on hiring Painting Plus. The two/three people crew that did our massive garage work was so impressive. Derrick, the rep that came out to quote us was so so kind. The crew member that did the work was also just as kind. I cannot thank them enough for their hard work and dedication. Thank you! Highly recommend!"

"From start to finish, Foothills Painting did a great job. Tara started off by setting up the estimate. Wes did the estimate on a chilly and rainy day but took his time and was very helpful. The project manager, Paul, was very helpful and answered my questions throughly. Rachel helped verify my color selection, and Adam and Ed did a great job staining the fence. They were courteous, careful and considerate. I would definitely recommend them and will use them again. Thank you, Foothills Painting, for making this a very good experience."

"They looked at the project, and offered the service that was needed. Didn't over inflate the price and offered a needed value added service. Painted both the house and the fence that needed it."

"Corey and John did a great job painting my living room, including a vaulted ceiling. Before I found them I had a lot of trouble finding a company, as the big guys didn't want to touch it and some of the other smaller outfits didn't want to deal with the high ceiling. There were even a number of companies that didn't call me back. So if you have a project with some unique challenges or are having trouble finding a reliable painting company, give NoCo Pro Line a call. As for the painting itself, besides it looking great I want to point out a few things. The first is that they were very accommodating of my preferences and would make sure to ask before doing ("Do we paint the closet?", "Where do we tie off to the next room?", and so on). The second is that where there were problem areas (e.g. cracks, stains, etc.), they didn't just gloss over them but made sure to treat each one as necessary to give a nice final product. Lastly, they're willing to move furniture around and cover everything themselves. That takes a lot of burden off you as the homeowner (just be a good citizen and do what you can to prepare). Since I had so much trouble even getting a quote from other companies, I can't really compare value. What I can say is that originally I just intended the ceiling to be painted, but when I saw the price was reasonable I requested the whole room. TL;DR They crushed it."

"We needed a couple small jobs for painting and Tony was able to help us. He painted a hallway that had some serious chipping paint and painted our kitchen ceiling and walls. His quality of work was outstanding and price was just right. I would highly recommend Tony."

"Our home with southern sun exposure was in need of quality exterior paint. Suggestions were made for our harsh climate, and a color consult helped us feel confident with a more modern color palette. Detailed photos documenting the needed exterior repairs ensured nothing was missed. The work was completed with efficiency and thoroughness. The final walk-through was done by the owner, though there was very little fine tuning that needed to be done. The crews were tidy, pleasant, and highly skilled. We couldn't have asked for a better experience."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. 

Routine cleaning, sealing/staining, and inspection prolong deck life and appearance.

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.

Rags used with oil-based stains are highly flammable and can spontaneously combust in the right conditions. To reduce the fire risk, throw them in a metal container after use and add rocks on top to secure them. Add an inch of water and seal the container. Take the rags in the container to a hazardous waste factory as soon as possible.
