"This company is awesome! Ben came to inquire about what I needed done: kitchen, living room, two bedrooms, and computer room. He gave me an estimate about the cost. He indicated they had a color specialist who could Ben came to the house to give me an estimate. He said they had a color specialist who could come to the house and help with colors. Ben was not pushy just gave me what information I needed to complete the job. I was immediately impressed and picked this company for the job. I used the color specialist who was great, and most of the time there were three painters here to do the job! The painters did all the work and did a great job! They purchased the paint and covered what furniture that needed it. I would highly recommend this company and will use them again!"

"Groovey Hues did a great job. They painted my living room and kitchen at a fair price, plus most importantly, I didn’t have to do it myself. There was also a little paint leftover and they painted my dog house as a throw in."

"This company was very easy to work with. The original estimate was detailed and very reasonable. When we needed to change a line item, the company updated the estimate within the hour. And still it was a reasonable estimate . The painter was amazing. He attended to detail. He put in many hours each day. We were surprised our 2 story home was painted in 3 days. And it was painted with care and detail. I would not hesitate to recommend this company to help anyone with a home improvement project."

"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!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan, typically by five to 10 years. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and rot over time. Applying a treatment creates a protective shield that helps prevent splintering, fading, and decay, preserving the wood's strength and appearance. A combination stain and sealer often provides the best protection, as it soaks into the wood grain rather than just sitting on top. This offers superior defense against UV damage and rot and lasts longer than a sealer alone. To maintain the wood's natural look, consider using a near-translucent stain. You should plan to reapply the stain or sealer every two to three years.

Yes, beginners can use a paint sprayer, but there is a learning curve. It's important to go slowly, read the instructions thoroughly, and spend some time learning the technique. Watching tutorial videos for your specific paint sprayer model can be very helpful. Before starting your main project, practice on a scrap surface to get used to the sprayer and avoid common issues like overspraying, which can cause drips, bubbles, and other imperfections. For safety, always wear a mask and gloves, and be careful not to touch the sprayer's tip when it's in use, particularly with high-powered airless sprayers.

It’s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that’s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat. 

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths
