He is always on time and explains what he will be doing as he goes. Even his proposals are in great detail and he double checks color choices just prior to avoid mistakes. I have already referred him to several friends with great confidence.
There are several other projects that need to be done, and I plan to call on him when we are ready."

"We highly recommend Nelson Brothers Painting!! Larry and Gary are very knowledgeable and experienced professionals with high attention to detail. They did a superb job, at a reasonable price, on painting the exterior of our stucco home, including, all doors and dormer. We had asked for options to paint the soffits and fascia, pool deck, and shed. In their proposal, they broke out the costs for the options as requested, which we in turn, had them include everything. We liked the fact that both Larry and Gary did the initial site visit to develop their proposal, as it is always better to talk directly to the people who will be doing the work. The Nelson brothers were always very personable and professional and eager to please. They finished right on schedule and we appreciated the constant communication, ensuring that we were happy with the daily progress being made. Larry and Gary always cleaned up the area around the house at the end of the workday. They do very high-quality work and aim to please!!"
"I hired Massimo Pai ting to do my house and pool deck. Vince and his team did an amazing job on both projects. Their customer service, attention to detail and quality of work is beyond compare. Would highly recommend this team of professionals for your painting needs."
"When the owner said he was going to be there at a certain time, he was. Same goes for the crew. When the team leader had a question, she would ask. They started at 8:00 and finished painting all my outdoor stucco by 11:00 am. I would definitely recommend this company for painting projects."
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.
Choose based on climate, finish preference (glossy, matte), and durability. Tailored coatings also provide longevity.
Ipe wood can last up to 75 years with minimal maintenance because its own oils help to preserve it. However, to get the most out of your Ipe wood deck, you should perform some routine maintenance, including regular cleaning, sweeping of leaves and debris, and rinsing spills with a hose. It’s also important to repair any deep scratches as soon as you spot them and reseal the deck annually to protect against scratches and scuffs.
Essential tools include brushes or rollers, drop cloths, sandpaper or power sanders, and appropriate cleaning supplies. Quality materials ensure long-lasting results.
Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.
