"Very prompt service. Sean was very informative and pointed out the problem areas. His crew Jessie and Al were friendly and professional also very neat. The deck looks great after replacing some deck boards and the top rail, cleaning, sanding and staining. I would highly recommend this company."

"I highly recommend Juan and his crew. They painted my garage and 2 story home. Juan and his crew were prompt, polite, very professional. They answered all my questions and as they worked, they addressed all the details of the project, as we had discussed. They kept their work area clean as they painted and cleaned up the work area completely when they were finished each day. They appropriately protected areas and items near the painting that they were not painting. Juan and his crew kept me up to date with the project as it progressed. Juan and his crew were a pleasure to work with."

"I met Rafael over a year in a gas station near my home when I noticed the signage on his truck. I had damaged plaster and paint from a leak and asked about his company and took his card. Time passed due to covid lockdowns, etc. so I didn't call him until recently. This company is exceptional. They come when they say they will - on time, and they complete their work quickly. They do excellent work, and clean up afterwards. Would I hire him again? YES - in fact Lilian Touch is now doing some deck repair and painting on the outside of my home. It's not quite finished yet, but it is looking GREAT! I am more than pleased and would recommend them to anyone needing interior or exterior work done."

"I had rainwater coming in through a door and window frame. Dario and Juan knew right away that the problem was coming from where my deck meets the siding. They removed deck boards to discover a gap in the siding. Checked for water damage (thankfully no damage). Sealed the gap. I have not had any rainwater issues since. Price was totally reasonable. We discussed other future repairs/projects for my home and I look forward to working with them again."

"I hired Belmont to repair a covered deck where one corner had sagged. The owner, Adam, was quick to provide an estimate. His estimate was detailed and showed that he understood the root cause (concrete block footing vs 42" pier now required under code). I agreed with his repair approach. Adam and his team did a great job on the repair, there were no surprises and deck and roof are now level. His main carpenter Ivan was especially good, meticulous. I am very happy with Belmont and would hire them again."

"Jasmine and Angel were very well informed on painting, wood, power washing, carpentry. They were fast and efficient. The house, deck and railings look fabulous! They are very nice, friendly and have a strong work ethic. Las Mela's Painting is a winner and I will certainly hire again and refer them. Rich and Jan S. in Wauconda"

"TL Ryan is customer oriented.  Mixed reviews on the subcontractors hired to do the painting.  I hired this company for two separate jobs that totaled 9K.  Big investment - mixed results.  Main rooms (living, dining, first floor bedroom) turned out nicer than closets and upstairs bedrooms which showed sloppier work.  On the last day, during the walk through, one closet was overlooked and the painter rushed through it, resulting in a closet that was not primed properly so the original blue can be seen through the white.  Several closet shelves were also missed and again the rush job shows - poor brushwork, no priming.  They also did one coat of semi-gloss on the door trims (a second coat would have cost more money), and the quality of that job varies greatly.  First floor - neatly done; second floor, sloppy brushwork (I have to re-do myself and with carpal tunnel, that will not be fun).  They also left the house a mess - nails everywhere, wall plates on the floor, curtains in a pile on the sofa.  TL did most of the cleanup himself and replaced some missing wall plates at no cost.
For the second job (same house), I hired them to paint interior doors  - they charge for each side of the door (so one door is actually two doors for pricing purposes) - and paint drywall, and to repaint and re-tread steps.  Work was fine (a different subcontracting crew was used this time).  There were two incomplete areas:  I asked that the hinge footprint on the trim of a door that had been removed to be painted - this was not done.  In addition, they replaced treads on basement steps but did not tack them as they were directed (supposed to be eight tacks total - four across the top; four across the bottom - they only put four in the overall tread).  Interestingly, once I paid the final price, the normally responsive TL did not respond to my request to have these two final items fixed.  So again, I had to fix what was missed.
Both projects in the same home were to prepare for sale - so I hope to recoup these costs.   I would not use this company for the home where I live.  I think they are a little pricey because of the use of subcontractors and on balance a little too sloppy in areas that I would not want to look at every day (or have to re-do myself).

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

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

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.

Yes, it is important to wash your deck before painting to ensure the paint applies well and adheres properly. While you don't have to use a pressure washer, it is one of the most efficient cleaning methods. Pressure washing can quickly remove dirt, wood fibers, and flaked paint, getting deeper into the wood than manual scrubbing. You can also clean the deck with a stiff broom and a cleaning solution. Regardless of the method, a clean surface is essential for good paint adhesion. Make sure the deck is completely dry before applying any paint.

When choosing between deck stain or paint, knowing what will last longer is important. Deck paint lasts longer than deck stain. With deck paint, you can get up to 10 years of coverage before you need to reapply. With deck stain, that time is significantly shorter at two to three years
