"Phil was a delight to work with. He did an amazing and exceptional job painting our house. He started on time and finished on time, he is very polite and work area was always clean, no drops of paint anywhere in sight. Phil was very easy to work and communicate with. He offered very good and affordable pricing. We would highly recommend him and hire him again for our next projects. Thank you so much Phil for the amazing job."

"Steven is very professional, polite, and honest, honesty being of the utmost importance to me followed by quality workmanship. He provided a fair estimate for an exterior stucco repair. His team (Thank you Mart) completed the job on schedule, left nothing to clean up, and finished the project slightly below budget! I am very satisfied with the work. I will have them back soon for another project. Update 5.11.20 - I wanted to add that Petra Painting returned to completely paint the exterior of my 30+ yr old home, including exterior walls, doors, trim, gutters, and the garage door. The crew was excellent. Started with a thorough pressure cleaning and prepped the foundation to paint below the grass height, then caulked all cracks and blemishes. Primer and paint applied neatly, virtually no mess. Repaired, sealed, and painted the chimney top too. Also cleaned, primed and pained the patio and ceiling. Steven and his crew are friendly, professional and dedicated to providing excellent service and completed the job in a timely manner. Best decision I have made regarding painting professionals. Highly recommend!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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. 

Deciding whether to stain or paint a pool deck depends on your budget, desired look, and the deck's material. Both options can work. Paint offers a wider variety of color options, provides excellent water resistance, and can last longer. However, it requires a primer and can eventually fade or peel. Stain is often cheaper, easier to apply, and penetrates the wood for a more natural look and longer-lasting finish. It also has great water resistance. The downsides are fewer color options and the need for a sealant. The choice can also depend on the deck material; for example, staining may be a better option for concrete as it bonds well and lasts longer than paint.

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.

Satin paint is generally considered a better choice for woodwork—including trim, baseboards, cabinets, and doors—than flatter finishes like eggshell or matte. Its soft sheen enhances architectural details and stands up well to frequent cleaning and daily wear. Compared to eggshell and matte finishes, satin is more durable for high-touch areas because it is less porous and doesn't absorb dirt as easily. Matte finishes, in particular, are prone to scuffs and are harder to clean, making them less practical for surfaces like doors and cabinets.
