"I wanted to get my house painted, wood stained and a couple leaks in the ceiling fixed. I reached out on Angi where they recommended MNM. I'm really happy that I decided to go with them. They have really good reviews and I saw some of their pictures on their website. Guillermo was super responsive and they started the project within days. I've lived in this house for 10 years and have done nothing with these walls so they had a lot of work to do. I'm so extremely happy with the outcome. They transformed this house. Guillermo and Sammy were both so kind and professional. If I had anything that I noticed that needed a touch-up Guillermo came back in about a week and fixed everything. Very trustworthy, Great price and extremely professional. They will be my go-to for any painting projects moving forward. Thank you both so much for all your hard work!"

""I couldn?t be happier with the incredible work done on my home! They did an absolute standout job hand-painting the exterior and completely transforming our deck. The hand-painted areas are absolutely flawless?crisp lines, solid coverage, and a beautiful finish that you just can?t get with a rushed spray job. The deck looks brand new again; the prep work was thorough and the final coat looks rich and even. The team was punctual, kept a perfectly clean job site, and stayed transparent about everything from start to finish. If you want meticulous craftsmanship and real professionals who care about the details, look no further!""

"I found him on Angie’s list and he was the first one to reply. I explained what I needed done and I was given a good price. Two guys came on time a little early to beat the thunderstorms that were coming our way. Some of the windows couldn’t be cleaned because they were thermal insulated and you couldn’t get in between the glass. They also cleaned up our gutters and cut the hedges in front of the windows. It took longer than expected but they did a good job. They had missed a few windows but once pointed out they cleaned them."

"We had an excellent experience working with Robert Anthony from start to finish. They were professional, responsive, and incredibly detail-oriented throughout our kitchen remodel. His team completed our renovation on time, kept the workspace clean, and communicated with us every step of the way. The quality of the craftsmanship exceeded our expectations, and you can truly tell they take pride in their work. They transformed our kitcjen beautifully and made the entire process smooth and stress-free for my family. We are beyond happy with our kitchen and we couldn’t recommended him more."

When I started to practice this job. I didn’t realize the help I was giving to our boss and to the home or apartment that we were working on. To know that one day someone was going to go live there. Know every time I help a costumer I do realize that with my hard work I can achieve making somebody happy. That’s my goal in life.

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

Staining pressure-treated wood is a recommended practice. While inherently resilient, it's not impervious to moisture and UV exposure. Staining treated wood is feasible and recommended for enhanced protection and longevity. Applying stain and sealant safeguards against degradation, prolonging its life span. These measures shield the wood from environmental threats while augmenting its aesthetic appeal, ensuring your investment endures the test of time.

DIY is possible with proper tools and knowledge, but professionals can ensure even application and high-quality results, saving time and hassle.

There’s no single paint that’s the most waterproof. Instead, there are several types of waterproof and water-resistant paints that suit different purposes. Epoxy paint, for instance, is commonly used to provide a waterproof coating to floors and decks. Masonry paint is an excellent choice for exterior walls. Meanwhile, there are waterproof acrylic paints that can be used for interior and exterior walls. It’s more about choosing the best type for what you’re painting instead of the most waterproof paint overall.

Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years.

For homes in areas with extreme weather, high heat, or intense sun exposure, high-quality acrylic paint is the best option. Acrylic paint is durable, resistant to both heat and cold, and provides a protective barrier with excellent UV resistance. For best results, look for acrylics that contain natural earth pigments, which are better suited for resisting sun damage. While oil-based paint is also durable, it can be prone to fading in high heat and can become too viscous to apply easily in cold temperatures. Additionally, choosing a neutral or light color like gray, beige, or white can help, as these colors absorb less heat than darker shades.
