Independent painting is a dream brought to life. Years of building experience to finally be able to show the world what I have to offer. My experience is not limited. I am always open to learning more as I grow my business and I always do my best to keep morale up to maintain a work environment that anyone could appreciate. One unique thing that sets me apart from the rest is my mix of height and coordination allows for me to go above and beyond to get to the hard to reach spots in a safe manner. My work includes both interior and exteriors, caulking, texturing, window glazing, cutting/rolling walls, spraying ceilings, painting/staining trim, cabinets, and doors, as well as any furniture, decor, etc. I find most painting work to be very gratifying to get to do and I'm also not afraid of a good challenge and the sense of accomplishment that goes with getting the job done, no matter the difficulty level of the task at hand.

"I recently had Austin paint my great room, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Not only did he do an incredible job, but he was also extremely friendly, professional, and organized throughout the entire process. He kept everything clean and made sure every detail was just right. One of the things I appreciated most was his helpfulness in recommending colors—his insight made such a difference, and I absolutely love how everything turned out. If you're looking for a skilled and dependable painter, I highly recommend Austin. I’ll definitely be reaching out to him for my next painting project!"

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. 

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

Eggshell and satin finishes are best for porches because they sit in the sweet spot between scuffable matte and distracting high gloss. Your porch sees a fair amount of wear and tear, so you don’t want paint that’ll show every mark like matte, but you don’t want to be blinded by glossy paint in the sun either. Eggshell and satin have durability and a look that sits nicely in the middle.

Pricing depends on prep work, paint/stain choice, area size, scaffolding needs, and detailed trim inclusions like precision-balanced windowsills.

It depends on the size of the surface. If you’re covering a large area, a paint roller will allow you to stain the entire surface in much less time. Paint rollers also offer the advantage of creating a smoother, more even coat. However, they’re not as practical for smaller surfaces such as banisters, spindles, and crevices—for these, opt for a paintbrush, paint mitt, or lint-free rag instead.
