"This was my first experience with Home Advisors. However, will not be my last. We are in the process of getting our current home prepared to go on the real-estate market and needed the services of a "Professional" Painter / Drywall company. After reviewing the various companies available to me we settled on Quality Drywall & Painting. Was able to engage owner Steve Scott and arrange for him to make a site visit in order to provide me with an accurate estimate for our job. He promptly met with my wife and I on a Saturday morning as we have been out of town finishing up the construction of our retirement home in Northeast Georgia. Our job was rather extensive regarding a â  Completeâ  interior painting of ceilings walls trim and molding. The job also was inclusive of various drywall repairs and cabinet painting in the kitchen, (2) bathrooms and laundry room. In addition, there was a large outdoor deck that was incorrectly painted (By another contractor) that had to be stripped and receive a color change. Lastly there was a detached shop that required walls, molding and epoxy flooring. I would be remiss not to state that we were under a very tight time line in which get our current Southwest Georgia home prepared for sale. The (3) man crew worked between 12 and 16 hours per day in order to assist us with our objectives. As previously stated, these guys we pouring their best into our job. After observing the integrity and attention to detail provided be these men my wife and I decided to allow the crew to stay at our home during the project. Our thoughts were that this would conserve on travel time, increase productivity and reduce their operational costs as they were traveling upwards of (3) hours a day during the first (2) days. Therefore, the last (5) days the guys took us up on our offer. Our home received all of the paint color lighting and ceiling fan upgrades that our realtor recommended. So as to be clear, the crew changed nearly every ceiling fan and light fixture in the entire house. As we are now at the end of our project the men have exceeded our expectations while helping us to remain on track with our hard-scheduled deadline. While finishing up the final punch list items (Final Day 7) our realtors stopped in to check on the progress to goal. One of the ladies asked if I had already had the final home clean-out performed. I quickly replied that it was scheduled for tomorrow morning. Needless to say, she was surprised. Just another example of the attention to detail Quality Drywall & Painting provides their customers! Our realtors were amazed with the transformation as well as quality of craftsmanship that had taken place in our home. While departing, the elder realtor stated, â  this house will be sold in a week!â  My response was, â  I sure hope so!â  Couldnâ  t have met these goals without the good folks at Quality Drywall & Painting. If you are looking for a Painting and Drywall contractor that can handle most any job while exceeding your expectations, then I strongly suggest you give Steve Scott at Quality Drywall and Painting a call. You won't be disappointed. Sincerely, Michael D. Walent SR."

"Luke was amazing. He gave us a quick quote that was reasonable. He started and worked when he said he would. He kept us updated and sent pictures afterward. The quality of his work was excellent. I was so pleased with his work. He went above and beyond by doing a couple extra things for us as we were out of state. I would and will recommend him to anyone looking for a professional quality painter!"
After.. what an amazing difference!

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Many decking oils can help slow down algae growth, but they don't completely stop it. These oils work by sealing the wood, which reduces moisture and, therefore, algae growth. Some decking oils also help protect against UV damage, but they need to be reapplied according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the decking stays protected.

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

The plastic in composite decking boards protects them enough that you do not need to paint them to prevent warping. In fact, painting composite decking voids the warranty of some manufacturers. Painting can also increase maintenance on the deck, as you must paint regularly to keep it looking its best.

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.

Exterior paints contain more volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, making them dangerous when used indoors. Without the free ventilation of the great outdoors, it can take longer for the fumes to dissipate than interior paint. While you may notice the smell lessening more quickly, you should be wary of paint fumes inside for 48 to 72 hours after it dries.
