"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 FAQs, answered by experts

Opt for an interior wood stain that is rated for your type of wood. Consider your personal style preferences as well as the overall use of the room when choosing a color. Remember, the color you see at the store may look different on your actual floors once applied. This is why if you have the chance, it’s helpful to test a few options on a scrap piece of wood in the room first. Once you narrow it down, you can test a small patch on an inconspicuous area in the room to see it on the actual floors.

Most gutter painting pros also specialize in complete home exterior painting. You may save by making your gutter painting part of the cost to paint the exterior of a house in its entirety. Many people have all parts of their home exterior painted simultaneously to keep everything looking equally fresh. Consider having walls, trim, porches, shutters, and doors painted as well.

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.

Both a roller and a brush are effective methods for painting a chain link fence. A roller will make the job easier by ensuring symmetrical strokes and reaching the backside of the fence as well, which cuts down on paint time. However, a brush is often necessary for painting the base of the fence and near the posts due to its ease of reaching smaller spaces.

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.
