"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."

"They went above and beyond. They didn’t ask me to provide the paint. They moved the grill and the furniture and are coming back when the paint dries to put it all back. What a godson!"

"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."

Customers say: Terrific value

"I recently hired them for painting the walls in 3 rooms in my new home, and I am very satisfied with the exceptional service they provided. Not only were they affordably priced and adhered to their initial estimate, but they also accommodated my tight schedule, completing the project on the only day I could spare. The quality of their work exceeded my expectations, showcasing their expertise and attention to detail. Communication was seamless, with prompt and responsive interactions whenever I reached out. Additionally, they left my home perfectly clean, reflecting their commitment to professionalism. I highly recommend this painter for anyone seeking top-notch service and outstanding results, and may hire them again for other rooms in my home!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

We don’t recommend it. A wired brush or a brush with metal bristles damages concrete and asphalt during the stain removal process. For the best results, stick to nylon stiff enough to do the job but gentle enough to keep from scratching the driveway. For extra caution, skip the brush entirely and use towels.

The longevity of paint on wood depends on factors like the quality of the paint, surface preparation, exposure to elements, and maintenance. Exterior paint on wood surfaces can last 5 to 15 years or more with proper care and maintenance. Interior paint tends to have a longer life span, often 10 years or more. Regular cleaning, touch-ups, and addressing any issues like peeling or cracking can extend the life of the paint. 

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years.

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.
