"House beautifully painted with odds and ends masterfully fixed around the house: woodpecker damage, flashing on the chimney, broken spindles on the porch, and splitting wood trim. Paul Enterprises is a professional, aiming to please, and attentive to detail company. Owner Bill is honest, upfront, and easy to work with. Given the hand painting work, it took a little longer than a spray job. Although the price was a little high, the end product was well worth it."

"This company was professional, punctual, experienced, and had competitive pricing.  I contacted 5 local companies who had an A rating through Angie's List and was able to email them right through this site so it made it very easy.  Fresh Coat won the price bid and we were very pleased with their customer service.  Our main contact was Barbara and she was knowledgeable and friendly.  They set up a contract via email, and when I noticed that there were a couple of things missing from the contract that we had discussed, they rewrote it with no issues.  The whole process took a little over a week due to weather delays.  They arrived before 8 am daily and stayed late if they needed to.   Barbara was on site most of the time and was very accessible when she was not there.  They did a great job powerwashing, and like I said, they even washed up the driveway and walkway leading up to the house.   They took one day to power wash, and two to three days to paint the house and trim.  They needed another 2 to 3 days for the deck because they noticed two worn out boards and offered to replace the wood themselves.  That was great for us because we have 2 small kids, so we don't have a lot of time to repair the house ourselves.  They left their materials neatly in our backyard overnight so they could get a quick start daily.  They were so friendly and remembered our names and said hello to us when we would come and go.  They worked very hard and did a great job.  Our house looks 100% better!  Sebastian and Rafael were the main painters on our job and they were a pleasure to work with.  This company treated us like we were their only clients and like they'd known us for years.  They established a contract before any work was done, and divided the payments up into a pre-work deposit and after our final inspection.  They honored the contract and when we hit a couple of snags (replacing the deck boards and our forgetting to include the shutters in the painting request), they amended it and worked with the price increase to help fit our budget.  I would absolutely use this company again because they really take pride in their work and realize how important word-of-mouth recommendations are.  They know how to treat their customers!! Thanks guys!!

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

For the longest-lasting exterior paint, consider acrylic or enamel (oil-based) paints. Acrylic paints, including acrylic latex and acrylic enamel, are known for withstanding harsh weather and sun exposure. Enamel-based paints are also one of the most durable options available. While latex paint is common, it typically has a shorter lifespan than acrylic or oil-based options. The paint's finish also affects its durability; a higher gloss finish is generally more durable. For resistance to moisture and cracking, matte and satin finishes can be effective, while a high-gloss acrylic or oil-based paint offers a combination of maximum longevity and durability.

Always sand a deck before repainting so the wood is smooth and ready for paint. While you do not need to fully remove paint before repainting, sanding helps remove any areas with weather and sun damage. Sanding also helps remove chipped or flaking paint and opens the wood pores to improve paint adhesion.

You’ll need to restrain your deck when you notice fading, cracking, peeling, or mold and mildew over a moderate to large area, or when it’s become especially difficult to clean. As for how often to stain a deck, plan to do it every two to three years or whenever you start to notice extended damage.

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths

Adding a second coat of stain to wood can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.
