"HPO did a great job painting/staining the Cedar siding of our home. The work was done ahead of schedule, they cleaned up after themselves, and was reasonable in their pricing! The owner was very knowledgeable and honest."

"Mario and crew arrived bright and early ready to begin work each day.  The crew were professional, personable, and easy to work with. They worked diligently but also took pride in their work.  We liked the fact Mario was onsite overseeing his crew.  The holes in the ceiling where this job first started is not even noticeable.  They were respectful by covering the surrounding areas being painted with cloth and cleaning up after themselves after the work day was done.  We are happy with how the colors turned out.  What was once an interior with the white builders paint, is now a house with character thanks to Mario and team.

"Perfect Touch did extensive repair on our deck, replaced our mailbox and most recently retiled and painted a 1950’s bathroom. Alex gave us accurate, reasonable quotes for all the jobs and then scheduled quickly and completed all three jobs beautifully. The work was excellent and the crew was pleasant and professional. They probably removed their shoes hundreds of times.!! They also cleaned up the site nicely. I highly recommend."

"Had MQ Painting paint the exterior of my house and garage and could not be happier. Did everything the right way! First came and power washed everything a few days before, then on first day of painting removed all old caulk and re-caulked, plus filled any holes. Gave everything 2 coats and on one part that was stain actually gave 3 coats. Original quote did not include foundation, soffit, gutters, front and rear stairs but Jose added those in at a reasonable price, so had those done too. Also painted chimney at no extra charge, On top of all this they completed the job in 2 days. Could tell from first time I had Jose come out to give me a quote he was very knowledgeable and passionate about his business and painting, which I really liked. I would not hesitate to recommend MQ Painting to anybody. I guarantee you will be happy with the quality of work and price you'll receive from MQ Painting."

"We messaged them late Monday evening and they were able to come out within a couple of hours to give us a quote. The cleaning was very thorough. We were very impressed with how well they did even with us having a husky that sheds a lot. They worked well with our dogs in the house. We felt comfortable leaving them in the house alone. They were very responsive and took notes on what we wanted done. We are putting our house on the market and after the deep clean feel it is market ready. We plan to use them again if we need maintenance cleans while our house is on the market."

"This is the second time we’ve used steadfast, they painted our deck summer 2018. If you are looking for a painting company that will do a perfect job that will last, hire steadfast. I was so happy with how our deck held up over the winter, I decided to have them paint the outside of our house. Anthony is so terrific to work with and all of his employees are polite and do a great job. My neighbor was so impressed by the work that they did, how nice the employees got along and talked to each other, she hired them to paint the outside of her house too!"

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.

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.

The best exterior paint for the job of painting your front porch depends on the material you’ll be painting. Acrylic paint is often recommended for a wooden porch as it’s durable and easy to apply. If your porch is made of concrete, you’ll need to find a formula suited to that material.

It’s a good idea to sand your porch before painting. This will remove loose or chipped paint and debris, and give you a cleaner surface so that your new paint goes on smoothly. But if the existing surface is in good condition, it’s not necessary to sand your porch before you paint.

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.
