"Ryan was very attentive to my needs for this job and was always available to answer questions and provide information regarding the scheduling of the work. Victor and his crew did an excellent job with the carpentry and painting, and their attention to detail was very professional."

"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 !"

"Overall it went very well. We started with the standard estimate and they won the bid by competitive pricing. We were also recommended to them by friends. They sent a crew memeber to power wash and he did an excellent job. He even washed away the debris so it wasn't sitting in our driveway. Once the painting started, it all went pretty well. Along the way we noticed a few spots that needed additional attention, but the excellent crew tended to them before we even had to say a word. Anything they didn't get were taken care of at our request. The sales associate we worked with (Derrick) was very responsive to us and made sure everything was addressed on our final walk through. Our deck was a tough project and there were a few spots missed, but it was at no fault to theirs due to the lighting. I ended up just touching them up myself as they were smaller areas. The house looks great and crew worked diligently throughout the week. I would recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone else."

"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 repaired, sanded,filled, cleaned and sealed two decks for me. They were easy to work with, trustworthy, punctual, neat and did exactly what they said they would, when they said they would. The decks are beautiful and they exceeded my expectations. Competitive pricing and superior work. Highly recommended."

"Tony did a wonderful job repairing and painting walls with very high cathedral ceilings. He did the bathroom, kitchen, and entrance hall in a day and a half for a very reasonable cost. The only issue I have is that I called the evening before he painted and told him I wanted to change the color for the front hall, and I still gave him a 4 1/2 because it is not a huge deal to me, but now I need to change the color of the inside of the door. Otherwise a beautiful job."

"I have had door hangers and doorbell rings from Vivax for years, and that's why I was NEVER going to use them. However, when we wanted our trim painted, they were the only professionals of those we called who were willing to do stain to paint on trim only. They kept in good contact with me and the painters were pleasant to have in the house. The project manager, Chris, even came by to do some touch-ups a couple of weeks after the job was done and the walkthrough completed, as there was one spot we had just all missed noticing that whole time."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

Here's the deal with leaving used rags covered in oil-based stain lying around in a pile: Depending on the conditions, these rags can take just an hour or up to a few days to combust. The source of ignition is caused by trapped heat that can be compounded if the rags are near a heat source.

The best time to paint your deck is when temperatures are neither too cold (below 60 degrees) nor too hot (above 85 degrees). Always paint your deck when there’s no risk of rain. For fast-drying paint like acrylic or latex, ensure your deck can dry for at least four hours. Oil-based paints take longer to dry and may require 48 hours to completely cure.

You don’t necessarily have to remove all the old paint before repainting your deck, but it’s best to remove as much as possible to ensure a smooth and long-lasting finish. Prioritize scraping off loose, peeling, or flaking paint, and sand down rough areas to create a smooth surface for the new paint to bond with.

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.
