"The owner, Mario, is a true professional. He knows his stuff. He made great recommendations and I’m glad I took his advice about the color selection. My house looks great. His crew did a great job. They were courteous and neat. I was worried about my plants and they went the extra mile to protect them. I highly recommend them."

"Alex was absolutely fantastic to deal with. I typically don't give 5 stars across the board, but I truly felt they deserved it. Alex and his crew were very professional, and I am extremely pleased with the results. The job was completed ahead of schedule and on budget. Alex provided valuable insights on color selection which were very helpful. The entire crew was on-site every day as promised. I highly recommended Flamingo Painting and would definitely use them again."

"Dilber and his team did an excellent job. They replaced flooring and sub flooring damaged in a leak, located the problem, waterproofed the involved areas inside and out, pressure washed patios, carport and house, painted the entire exterior as well as the interior rooms affected. Helped with multiple other various problems in my old house including locating and repairing a leaking main water line. I highly recommend him and his team for any improvement projects."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint. 

The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage. 

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths

Wood stain is not flammable after it dries. The solvent in wood stain is what causes the liquid form to be highly flammable, but the stain drying process involves the solvents dissolving, which leaves behind a non-flammable product on your wood project. Wood stain is, however, flammable before you apply it, so you should always store partially full cans and used wood stain rags away from sources of heat and open flames.
