FREE ESTIMATES! Carlson's Proficient Painting has been providing excellent local painters and service to the , FL area since 2013. Our talented and qualified local painters will help you get the look and feel you desire, and are willing to tackle the most challenging jobs. From prep work through the final strokes to clean up we will approach your project with care and professionalism. You can call us directly at (727) 639-0620, and please mention Angie's List! Carlson's Proficient Painting now offers soft washing! We gently remove dirt, stains and other unwanted substances without causing any damage to your property. We take pride in our attention to detail. We take care of residential, commercial and multi-family properties. What is soft washing? The main difference between pressure washing and soft washing is the pressure involved. Pressure washing uses high-pressure water steams to blast away dirt and grime. Soft washing systems use a low-pressure power washer and cleaning solutions to clean surfaces. Is soft wash better than pressure washing? Soft washing is the better option since the risk of damaging your home becomes much lower. In this case, soaps and detergents prove more important to the cleaning process than pressure. https://www.carlsonproficientpainting.com/soft_washing.html

"Carlsons did a great job outside painting our home. Also painted our pool screen enclosure and our cool deck. In addition they added a small fence section to hide garbage containers and AC unit. We also had an outside bathroom door replaced and painted. Carlsons team did a great job. There were a few minor things that needed retouch, I pointed them out and they came back and satisfactorily retouched everything we pointed out. I highly recommend them."

"Armor Guard Review In August 2023 I had Barry the Field Manager of Armor Guard come to give me an estimate to repaint my 7 ft by 14 ft deck. The price I was quoted was more than double of other estimates with other companies. The reason I chose them was for the warranty. 5 years labor 20 years material and the warranty was transferable if I decided to sell my home. I should have realized at the time that the warranty was too good to be true. They were supposed to send a crew to pressure wash, fill all cracks and holes, sand, apply primer, and apply two coats of Sherwin-Williams Super Deck paint and sealer. Little did I know at the time the warranty by Armor Guard was a ploy. They sent one man a subcontractor to do all the work himself. I am retired and was able to be here to monitor each day with step by step photos that I took. First the man who came was told only to power wash and paint. This was my first interaction with Rodney the President of Armor Guard. Rodney was not helpful and was argumentative. He then agreed to prepare and paint my deck as was written in our contract. My deck was then primed and painted in the rain. The man who did all the work was being pushed to get it done quickly. As a result one week later I could see spots of primer and bare wood showing through the paint. Again I called Rodney and he told me that it was bird droppings and they left the paint so I should just paint it myself. He did send his subcontractors to look at it and they agreed that it did have many areas showing primer and wood. He agreed to have them come back to apply a third coat. They did. In April 2024, 8 months after the original painting it was showing primer and bare wood through the paint again. I contacted Rodney again he was rude. He did agree to have subcontractors come on June 8th to pressure wash the deck and then they would return on June 10th to repaint the entire deck. On June 8th two men from { removed company name } showed up at 8:00 a.m. One of the men said that they would pressure wash and touch up but not paint the entire deck as Rodney had promised. He said that Rodney had only paid him $300 and told him to pressure wash and touch up. At that time I told them to just pressure wash and I would take this up with Rodney. They left my furniture in my driveway they left my hose on the ground with the nozzle off. They did not do a good job. They were only here about 15 minutes total. Rodney has not made an attempt to come to look at the work himself or do a final inspection. I have caught Rodney in lies and have gone through continued stress and anguish because of this. I have two photo albums on my phone with day by day pictures of the work from the beginning until now. I also have screenshots saved of every text message between Rodney and myself since August of 2023. He texts instead of phone calls and actually in this case it turned out to my advantage. Rodney then offered to come and have the men paint the entire deck but he also added it would be the last time. That to me means he was not going to honor his 5-year warranty. At that point I made the decision not to respond. I no longer want anymore to do with Rodney or Armor Guard. He made a statement that my deck was dirty and that's why I was having issues. He is a narcissistic liar and impossible to do business with. My complaint and his responses are on the BBB website. I am considering contacting a reporter since I have so much to show as far as photos and screenshots of our text messages from the beginning. I think it's important to show other people what happened to me so that they don't fall for this sham."

Exterior Painting questions, answered by experts

One gallon of paint can usually cover up to 400 square feet. Therefore, painting a one- or two-car garage door typically requires one gallon of paint, which should give you enough for the two to three coats experts recommend for this job. However, if you're painting a lighter color over a darker color, you might need more. Using primer can decrease the total number of coats of paint you need.

When it comes to accent walls in farmhouse decor, several paint colors can work well to create a focal point and add visual interest to the space. Some excellent choices for farmhouse accent walls include warm and earthy tones, muted blues and greens, and weathered grays. Warm browns can create a rich, cozy backdrop, while brick reds can recreate the look and feel of an antique barn, pairing well with distressed woods and galvanized steel.

Painting your stairway or foyer before selling can make your home more appealing to prospective buyers. “Painting a foyer is a great way to maximize your home’s value,” says Tschudi. “Prospective buyers see fresh paint and clean and empty rooms as a palate and are more compelled to buy.”

It may be possible to touch up with leftover paint, but don’t consider it Plan A. Even if the can is sealed, older paint may change color or consistency over time, especially if stored in fluctuating temperatures. Stir thoroughly and test in a discrete area first.
