"After reading all the great reviews, we called Certapro Painters to give us an estimate and, in fact, had them do the job. We felt the price they gave us was fair and competitive. We had some repairs to the home and the entire exterior of our house painted. We were extremely pleased with the quality of the work. Everything was done as promised. We were surprised to find out that they could do the repairs to the house prior to the painting. We were very pleased with the coordination between the carpentry work and the painting. Certapro turned what I thought would be a very difficult situation into something very simple. We plan on painting the complete interior of our home in the future and wouldn't have anybody other than Certapro do the work! Again, comforting to know that if we need carpentry work done prior to the painting of the interior, they will coordinate it with their painters. Just a great company top to bottom with a great bunch of people. Wouldn't have anybody else do our painting or repairs. We highly recommend them."

"They did a great job for us! And it wasn’t an easy task as we have a living room and entryway with 2-story ceilings. They also painted our kitchen, dining room and half bath/laundry room. They repaired a couple of cracks we had in the walls. Most of it was done in 2 days. They came back on the 3rd day to touch up some spots and do some caulking. Great experience!"

"Todd was very efficient in dismantling the hood, cutting a hole through the wall to the outside, laying the piping, sealing, and testing the new setup. What impressed me was the fact that he didn’t try to sell me a new hood. He also was very conscious of any messes he may make, laying down drop clothes, etc. and disposing of his garbage in appropriate receptacles. I was very happy with the time it took him to do the job. Super quick, yet high quality work. From what I have experienced thus far (I have him booked for a couple other projects), Todd is a stand-up trustworthy guy who knows what he’s doing. He is super busy so it may take him a while to respond to inquiries, but he’s definitely worth the wait. I would highly recommend him to family & friends."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Waterproof paint creates a barrier to hold back moisture, but it doesn’t eliminate the source of the water. If you hire a basement waterproofing contractor, many will tell you that waterproof paint is only a temporary solution. On average, you can expect it to last from six months to two years in a wet basement before deteriorating.

If your biggest concern is making sure your deck doesn’t show dirt, opt for a darker neutral color that blends in well with your surrounding landscape. A rich brown or dark grey are both good options that work with a variety of house colors. A high-quality acrylic paint is easy to clean and maintain, so it might be worth spending the money on.

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.

A properly applied coat of stain will last between 3 and 8 years, depending on your climate. If you live in a place where your fence experiences a lot of moisture or high heat, your stain will last for a shorter period than in more temperate conditions. We recommend reapplying stain every 3 to 5 years to keep your wood in good condition.

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.
