Customers say: Quality work

"Amazing Experience!!! I cannot say enough good things about this company. From start to finish, Paul, the owner was an exceptional communicator. Responsive, professional, honest, and genuinely committed to delivering outstanding results. His crew was incredible: talented, respectful, hardworking, and meticulous in their work. The quality of the painting was absolutely flawless, and everything was completed on time as promised. It's rare to find a contractor who combines exceptional craftsmanship, integrity, fair pricing, and outstanding customer service, but this company delivers on all of it. I will not use another painter and will recommend them to everyone I know. Simply AMAZING! Keep up the fantastic work—you've earned a customer for life."

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

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.

While power washing isn't a requirement before you stain a fence, it can make the job much easier and faster while reducing manual labor requirements. The stain will not work if the wood is full of dirt and dust, so power washing, sometimes called pressure washing, is a fast and effective way to prepare the wood for staining. Remember that you need to stain or repaint relatively soon after the wood has dried so that there isn’t time for dust and dirt to build up again. 

Regular cleaning, touch-ups for small defects, and resealing or repainting every 2-3 years help to maintain a vibrant appearance and protection.

You can only change your neighbor's fence with their permission. A neighbor's fence is their property, and altering it without their consent could constitute trespassing or property damage, which may have legal consequences. If you have concerns or disagreements about your neighbor's fence, communicate with them openly and try to reach a mutually agreeable solution. If you believe the fence violates local zoning laws or property regulations, consult with local authorities or seek legal advice to address the issue through proper channels. 

The best finish for wrought iron railings is either a semi-gloss or a gloss sheen, as each offers good durability against rain, wind, heat, cold, and snow.
