"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."

"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!!"

"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

Apply a wood stain or sealant to properly maintain a wood deck railing and keep it looking new. Sealants protect wood from moisture and weathering. Regularly inspect the railing for loose screws, damaged balusters, and other signs of wear to make timely repairs. Routinely clean the railing using mild soap, water, and a soft bristle brush.

Yes, they provide design insights that enhance space utility and visual appeal.

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. 

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.
