"Prior to selling our home it was suggested the interior be repainted. We contacted LTD and set a price and time frame which was extremely fair for both sides. All I can say is above and beyond expectations. Work was done prior to deadline and the quality was fantastic. Attention to detail, promptness, professional attitude. Job well done. Would definitely recommend and or hire again!"

"I recently hired AllCarePainting for an exterior home painting project, and they exceeded all expectations. The team was professional, punctual, and respectful of my property, ensuring everything stayed clean throughout the job. The quality of their work is outstanding. They used high-quality paints, and the finish is smooth and vibrant. Communication was excellent, with the project manager keeping me informed and answering all my questions. They completed the project on time and within budget, with no surprises. Their attention to detail was impressive, from surface prep to minor repairs, resulting in a flawless finish. I highly recommend them for anyone needing exterior painting. My house looks stunning, and Iâ ve received numerous compliments. Five stars!"

"Bart gave us a very reasonable quote, came on time everyday and finished in a timely manner. He was very helpful in choosing paint color and wood and satin for wainscoting (which needed to be built and came out beautifully) the paint and the floors look great and we would recommend him and hope to have him back for future projects."

"A little misconfusion on my part thought they were coming out on a Wednesday but they showed up bright and early the day before. We weren’t ready for them and they graciously told me no problem and would be the next day. Showed up on time and did a professional job on painting our bathroom. Would highly recommend and hire again!"

"The Cordova Painting crew was excellent! They are VERY professional and meticulous when it comes to cleanliness. We had our entire first floor interior painted including a two story foyer and great room. Cordova Painting came each day on time and ready to work. The painting and drywall results are fantastic!! They completed the job in just over 3 and half weeks and were very reasonably priced. What impressed us as well was that at the end of each day, they vacuumed and mopped our hardwood floors to clean up any dust they may have created that day. Incredible results due to their meticulous attention to detail. HIGHLY recommend Pedro and his crew!!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

While the answer varies based on weather, 10 a.m. is a good time to start painting. The dew will have dried, meaning there’s no moisture on the house, and the temperature will likely be moderate and the sunlight less direct. Starting mid-morning should also give you enough daylight and pleasant weather to work on the job for several hours.

The opposite is actually true: Wood stains tend to appear lighter when they’re fully dry. However, stains may darken as they weather and oxidize with age. Stains might also darken on surfaces left in direct sunlight, as UV rays can break down pigment particles and cause them to darken over time.

Wood stain is not flammable after it dries. The solvent in wood stain is what causes the liquid form to be highly flammable, but the stain drying process involves the solvents dissolving, which leaves behind a non-flammable product on your wood project. Wood stain is, however, flammable before you apply it, so you should always store partially full cans and used wood stain rags away from sources of heat and open flames.

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.
