"Wilbers Painting company did an excellent job painting my gutters/downspouts and trim around my front door. I also had my front door stained which did not come out to my satisfaction the first time and I showed Wilber a picture of the door and he came back and re-sanded the door and re-stained it. It is beautiful now. Wilber stands behind his work. I would definitely hire his company again for future painting projects. Wilber and his staff were very professional and courteous. M. CASEY"

"This was a very long process but the painters went from step to step and got the job done.  Needless to say, with all of the sanding it was a messy process.  They used fans to keep the primer smell down.  We were happy with the finished product.  They cleaned up pretty well, but a problem was that they didn't cover the wall cabinets with plastic like they did on the counters and the dust just covered everything the more we looked we more white dust we found even into the dining room.  I told Jeff about this problem and he sent 3 maids over to clean the kitchen and dining room!  They did a great job and the kitchen and dining room were just spotless.  Jeff gives the best customer service I've ever had.  He talked to us before, during and after the job.  I think you would be hard pressed to find a company that goes the extra mile to make a job perfect.  I'll recommend him to everybody I know. Its nice to know that there are companies out there who really want to give good customer service.  If you want the job done right get Merrified Paint and Design!

"Mr. Mendez was very professional. He gave me a detailed quote, always came to meet me when he said he would, he and his team were great, the job was finished quickly, and the house looks fantastic. We have already asked him to give us a quote for interior painting, I would highly recommend him. We live in Arlington, our front porch and back deck railing was rotting, a good deal of trim was also rotting in various places around the house (windows, doors, pillars all had pieces that needed replacing), paint was peeling, and there was some brick work that needed some repairs. He and his guys power washed the house, cleaned the gutters, scraped, painted, replaced trim, completely rebuilt deck railings, rewrapped pillars/posts, and painted the brick, rails, and trim. Very well done and reasonably priced."

"We hired Edward and his team to repair our deck, essentially removing the old wood boards and replacing them with Trex composite. He was very accommodating with our schedule and returned all phone calls promptly. The team worked efficiently and the deck looks beautiful. It was a pleasure working with Edward and his team."

"It took a couple of days to complete because there were a lot of cabinet doors and drawers and the winter weather was not cooperating, but they were able to complete the job and it looks great. The finish came out very well, my guests were surprised when I told them it was spray painted, it looks like a factory finish. A two man team did the job and they arrived on time and left the area clean every day. I provided my own paint from Benjamin Moore."

"I was quite pleased. Leal's team carefully selected the best board face to be up; aligned the boards and screws with exacting precision, and dealt nicely with the out-of-square nature of the deck frame. The workmanship is on the order of furniture-making quality. They took their time to do it right, and were very pleasant to work with."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

An exterior paint job typically lasts between 5 and 10 years, though this can range from 3 to 17 years depending on several factors. The longevity is influenced by the quality of the paint and primer, the quality of the application, the local climate, and the type of surface being painted. For example, paint on wood siding may need to be redone every 3 to 7 years, while painted brick can last up to 17 years. Aluminum siding often needs repainting every 5 years.

You can use latex or acrylic paint outdoors. Although acrylic paint tends to last longer outside, it also costs more, so if you’re painting the outside of your house, for instance, latex paint is often a go-to option. However, acrylic will be your best choice if you want to spend some extra money for added durability.

Staining a deck is typically less expensive upfront than painting. The cost to stain a deck professionally averages around $850, with most homeowners paying between $550 and $1,250, depending on the deck's size. A DIY staining project can cost less than $100. The cost to paint a deck ranges from $500 to $2,000. While the initial cost of staining is lower, it's important to consider long-term expenses. Paint can last up to 10 years, whereas stain needs to be reapplied every few years, which could lead to higher costs over time.

Painting a damaged pool deck is not recommended if the substrate is crumbling, cracking, spalling, or otherwise actively deteriorating. Continuing deterioration will result in the paint also delaminating or flaking off the damaged surface. Minor damage such as chips or hairline cracks that are not actively deteriorating can often be repaired enough to paint over. A damaged pool deck with a lot of cracking and deterioration should be replaced for best results.

There are deck restoration products and oil-based wood stains that can help bring back some of the color and shine to your faded Trex decking. However, if your boards are suffering from serious fading due to UV rays or chemical cleaning products, don’t expect miracles. Also, these products are only suitable for use on the older Trex boards, not the capped, second-generation Trex products.
