Swift Painters is a family owned business. Our goal is to provide the highest quality service and the best overall customer experience. At Swift Painters we believe honesty, integrity, and trust are the core values successful businesses are built on. A home is one of your largest and most important investments, and we here at Swift Painters are grateful to be able to paint each of our customer’s homes. We look forward to serving you and your satisfaction is guaranteed.

"This is frustrating, because our initial experience in February 2019 with Swift was fantastic. Heather was always attentive, helpful, and responsive. When we did the final walkaround, she quickly made sure things were corrected. Within less than a year's time, the vinyl siding portion of our sunroom started to buckle because of the heat, even though the paint was guaranteed to prevent this from happening. Swift and Heather quickly worked with SW to find matching siding and came out to repaint the damaged section after being repaired. Unfortunately, this is where things started to fall apart. Once the repainting of the new vinyl siding and some touchups on other portions of the sunroom where the paint started to flake/bubble were completed, Heather pointed out that it was NOT the same color as what was already on the house. Because we had leftover paint from when the work was originally completed, we were able to compare the two side-by-side to verify this together. Then it became a waiting game while they tried to get things straightened out with SW regarding why the paint didn't match. While we were waiting, the NEW siding started to buckle as well, so on Valentine’s Day 2020, I called Heather and left a VM, but there was no response. I sent pictures to her email, and received an auto response indicating the email address was no longer valid. Red flag. OK, I had spoken with the owner previously and still had his email address, so I reached out to him both via email (with pictures) and via telephone, and again no response. It was right about this time that COVID hit and the world stopped, and I was afraid something might have happened to the folks at Swift and their business was a casualty of the pandemic; their Facebook page didn't show any updates, and calls to the number on their site went straight to voicemail. A few months later, I figured I'd check their FB page again on a lark and, lo and behold, it looked like they were back in business! I figured there was a hiccup in their operations b/c of the pandemic but that things were getting back to normal for them. I was glad because a) I didn't want to see their business suffer, and b) I thought we could get things resolved. So, being hopeful, I called again on July 10, and even though it went straight to voicemail, I left another message and waited patiently. and waited... and waited… And because other emergencies occurred in the meantime, on November 15th I called and left another message… and waited.... and waited.... And on December 14th I called and left another message… and waited.... and waited.... (you see where this is going) So as of today, February 5, 2021, we still have warped siding on one side of our sunroom and mismatched paint on multiple areas of the house, and a completely non-responsive contractor. Based on the earlier positive experience, I had given them the benefit of the doubt and truly was not worried, but after trying for months to get a response, I'm afraid to say I was mistaken."

Holland Homes LLC is a full service residential contracting company for all of your needs. From small repairs to full custom homes and renovations there is no job too big or small. We provide a quality service for all of our valued customers while providing a superior product on all of our projects. Our priority is to achieve full customer satisfaction on every job while building a relationship of trust with every client to ensure a successful job. With great attention to detail on every job, and an ear for the homeowners needs, we are able to provide top quality service and satisfying construction process to our customers.

"Subcontractors were mostly good, but management of them was lacking. I had to personally supervise them because the on site contractor rarely stayed very long. Told the trim finish crew to leave because they did not know how to install crown molding. Got another crew that knew what they were doing. They never asked for periodic payments during the job (as is typical); presented one huge bill at the end. Holland homes builds nice homes, but I would not recommend them for small jobs like mine because you do not get the best crews and you have to wait for them to fit you into their schedule."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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. 

No, you don't need to stain Ipe decking, although you can if you want to change the color. You will, however, need to apply a UV coating if you don't want the natural color to fade. Speak to a deck staining specialist near you to discuss the best options if you want to stain your decking. And remember that you’ll need to seal your Ipe wood deck annually to protect it from scratches and Mother Nature.

The need for a topcoat on a painted deck depends on various factors, primarily the type of paint used and your desired level of protection. Many premium deck paint formulations are self-sealing, eliminating the necessity for an additional topcoat. These paints often have built-in additives that substantially protect against moisture, UV rays, and everyday wear and tear.

Applying a sealer after staining is often recommended, especially for outdoor wood surfaces like decks or fences. It helps protect the wood from moisture, UV rays, and other elements, extending the life of the stain and preserving the wood's appearance. It also enhances the stain's durability and resistance to wear and tear. 

However, in some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection required. Always check the specific product recommendations and consider the wood's exposure and usage when deciding whether to apply a sealer after staining.

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place.
