"Clei was wonderful to work with. He kept me updated constantly and was very responsive to all my requests…he even suggested the perfect color for my shutters after the samples I chose didn’t work out! He also repaired and painted my old deck, which everyone else said couldn’t be done, making it look like new. He did a beautiful job on both my house and my deck, and I highly recommend him. I will definitely use him for any future painting jobs."
"Nixon repaired two very extensive cracks in our Corian sink that others did not want to deal with. He also fixed more problems that we were not aware of but could readily see when he showed them to us. Nixon saved us the cost of replacing the whole Corian kitchen counter top and potentially future large water damage. He is easy to deal with and provides prompt service."
"Hired to paint entire interior of my condo which included removal of popcorn ceiling. The job was done beautifully and the price was reasonable and competitive when compared to other quotes. Jacob was a pleasure to work with, he kept my timeframe for getting the work done in mind. Highly recommended Propainters."
"Leandro had a great painter Alex come power wash and stain our hime and deck. They were very efficient and neat. I would consider this company for future jobs we need done on our home."
"Hernan was a pleasure to deal with. He was reliable and efficient. He did general deck cleanup, power wash, and bulky junk removal. He promised the deck would look like new—and it did.
I highly recommend."
"Esteban Vazquez the owner of Taurus Painting is extremely courteous, hard working and efficient. I have lived in the CT area for 13 yrs and have had my house painted 3 X and never have i had such a fantastic job! Esteban went beyond just painting in fixing rotten wood etc. He started when he said he would, worked from 8-5 everyday and finished when EVERYTHING was painted (actually stained) His entire crew was polite and hard working. If I could have rated him a 10, I would have! Taurus Painting deserves an A++++++"

"Initally it took some back and forth conversations with the sales rep to get them to match their competitors bid but they did come through on their promise. Although it did take a few pointers with the paint crew to make sure they understood the job and the quality of work we were expecting we are very pleased with the outcome. The painters were friendly and easy to work with. I do think the company should invest in some lifts or something as there was quit a bit of inefficiency with them trying to paint our 21 ft ceilings with ladders? They had to have two guys hold the ladder while one guy painted. I'm thinking the lift would pay for itself in a few jobs just with the savings in productivity alone? As a result it took a lot longer to complete the job. But over-all very pleased with the work and the experience. I will hire them again when we need the outside of the house painted."
"Jose and his crew did an outstanding job painting the exterior of my home. I have used him on several projects and have always had a great experience. Extremely high quality work, done on time and budget. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone."
Yes, it is important to wash your deck before painting to ensure the paint applies well and adheres properly. While you don't have to use a pressure washer, it is one of the most efficient cleaning methods. Pressure washing can quickly remove dirt, wood fibers, and flaked paint, getting deeper into the wood than manual scrubbing. You can also clean the deck with a stiff broom and a cleaning solution. Regardless of the method, a clean surface is essential for good paint adhesion. Make sure the deck is completely dry before applying any paint.
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.
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.
No, it is not okay to paint over rotted wood. Painting over rotted wood will not address the underlying issue and can trap moisture, leading to further decay. Properly addressing the rotted wood by removing and replacing or repairing the damaged areas is necessary before you can even consider painting.
The best exterior paint for the job of painting your front porch depends on the material you’ll be painting. Acrylic paint is often recommended for a wooden porch as it’s durable and easy to apply. If your porch is made of concrete, you’ll need to find a formula suited to that material.
