"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!"

"My deck was a total disaster and needed to be rescued. After Adam was done with his total makeover, I was blown away. The paint job that he did was impeccable. My deck looks new, larger and beautiful. From start to finish, I was extremely satisfied with the entire process. Kyle helped with the selection of paint and paint color that was necessary and appropriate to repair my deck. His scheduling was timely and his choice of Adam to get the job done was really commendable. Adam completed his work on schedule and was able to paint areas of my deck which I considered unreachable. What a treat it was to come home and see my finished deck totally made over. I am extremely happy with the finished product and would not hesitate to recommend Adam in the future."

"Paint Pals did an excellent job painting my house. My only issue is it took awhile to get there. Original crew that was sent to the house did a very rushed/sloppy job, even after returning the second time to repaint half the house it still looked pretty bad, painters stated that was the best they could do. After posting negative feedback online management became aware of the situation and acted quickly to remedy the issues. A more experienced crew came out and did an excellent job and now the house looks great."

"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."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must. 

The best paint for an older deck depends on the material and whether or not your deck already has a coat of paint. Generally, if your deck already has paint on it, you should choose the same type of paint when repainting the deck. For example, if an old deck has oil-based paint on it, stick with oil; if your deck has water-based paint, choose water-based paint.
