"They didn't really pay attention to detail. They slept paint on outlets door knobs window sills that another company had to clean or clear the paint so that I could open the windows lock doors and to use the outlets. They also recommended me to purchase an enormous amount of paint that I never used."

"Dave showed up on time, gave an honest assessment and estimate to complete the repairs and paint. Work was completed in a timely fashion and below the estimate. Dave is honest and trustworthy as we gave him the access code for the lockbox and he came and went as needed to complete the project. Definitely would recommend to a friend!"

"Jose is much more than an outstanding painter. I lived in my house for 20 years. Iâ ve had a lot of work done over that time. Joseâ s work is far and away better than any other, and the other was very good. My house is 3,500 so ft not including the basement. Jose and co. Installed new floors in my laundry room and family room. His attention to detail and quality of over all work is outstanding. He repaired and stained my deck- outstanding. He power washed my house and side walks - outstanding. He repaired my garage door opener-outstanding. He installed my new dishwasher- outstanding. He painted the upstairs and down stairs in my house.-outstanding. He replaced door handles, light fixtures and repaired doors and door frames. ( which I thought would be impossible). His exemplary work ethic and high standards are second to none. I obtained bids from other companies which took a week + to receive (which is fine) but Carlos gave me bids on the spot (which were always lower than competitors), then told me when he would do the work and how long it would take. He was always true to his word. He is very professional, nice, kind and extremely reliable. I highly recommend Jose to everyone I know. Please call me any time for further recommendations if needed."

"A Step above Painting and Drywall are "exceptional". I need new flooring all on the 1st floor as well as needed the entire house (Interior) to be painted. Andres and his team did an outstanding job on my floors and painting. Tony (Mgr) is awesome - busy - but he does follow up, great person and team. I would HIGHLY recommend this company for your projects."

Painting questions, answered by experts

You should inspect the area regularly for rust, clean it with a wire brush, repaint it every few years, and apply a protective sealant to prevent corrosion.

A dry lawn is easier to edge than a wet one. When your ground is wet, your blades will likely clump together, making a seemingly even cut while wet, but an uneven disaster when dried. Also, a wet lawn can impact your blade's performance and cause mud to kick up, resulting in a messy finish.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.

There are several ways to make a wooden fence more visually appealing and keep it that way for years to come.

  • Treat the fence with a wood sealant to protect it against the elements. It’s recommended to reseal a fence every two to three years, but if you live in a harsh climate, you may want to do it more frequently than that.

  • Restore the fence if it’s old, corroding, or fading. That includes cleaning it and making small repairs where needed.

  • Paint the fence in a color that you like, whether that’s a simple white or more vibrant option. Fences usually need to be repainted every one to three years.

  • Decorate the fence with planters, string lights, birdhouses, mirrors, shutters, and more.

If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.
