Don Carvey Painting was established in 1996. My company has 2 employees and I work on all my painting and wallpapering jobs.

"I hired Don to paint my upstairs bedrooms, front room, staircase, and staircase walls. He gave me a reasonable estimate. What I respected about his service was he was punctual, finished the job within the timeframe, and cleaned up each day when he finished. I would recommend Don Carvey Painting for any interior painting job. My upstairs looks amazing!"

At CertaPro Painters, our reputation is based on Certainty — your Certainty of a job well done. We focus on the details of every project — interior and exterior — and we focus on you, our client.

"They did an excellent job. I usually do painting myself. However the high ceiling and beams are too much for me. This was worth every penny I spent. They were reasonable in price . Because of the pricing I had them do a bedroom on top of the living room and hallway. Victor (painter) was making sure everything was correct and what I expected. He also patched my walls where necessary. Ruthanne at office was awesome! I probably now will just hire these guys when painting needs to be done in future. They made it easy and affordable."

Started business in 1983 as specialty cleaning mainly acoustical tile ceilings and soon got involved with interior painting with a somewhat large apartment rehab project and expanded from there. Although we are a family owned and operated with myself and two sons we are able to accomplish a wide variety of painting and decorating projects through out the years.We do small jobs such as a residential bath or kitchen or larger jobs also such as car dealerships, whole apartment complexes. Also in shop finishing work such as mill work, doors, cabinets, and just about anything that a customer may need as it relates to painting or finishing. With any good tradesman it comes down to the details, know-how, professionalism.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Start with a 60- or 80-grit sandpaper when sanding a deck, though this could change depending on the type of wood that comprises the deck and how smooth you want the overall finish. If you prioritize a smooth final finish, progress to a finer grit like 120 or 150. Avoid ultra-fine grits for traditional sanding, as it could close up the wood pores and make it harder to apply a finish down the line.

Building codes vary by location, and you should always consult local codes before planning construction. Generally speaking, however, railing requirements stipulate that decks more than 30 inches off the ground need railings for safety purposes. These railings usually need to be at least 36 inches tall, although California and Washington require rails to be 42 inches or taller.

Several types of porches are available to meet your needs and style preferences. Some common porch types include:

  • Porticos are essentially a roof over a walkway leading to the home's front entrance. 

  • Sunrooms are closed-in porches that are an extension of the house with glass or plastic panels that allow optimal sunlight. 

  • Wraparound porches extend around the entire home, or at least the front and one side, and offer multiple entrances to the house.

  • Back porches are an extension of the home’s floor into the outdoors. These offer more protection and privacy than a deck.

To flatten a cupped deck board, start by ensuring it’s dry. Then, try flipping the board over so the cupped side faces down and reattach it. If that’s not possible, you can use screws to pull it tighter to the joists or plane the edges slightly to reduce the cup. It’s best to replace severely cupped boards.

Professionals enhance safety by addressing structural issues, securing loose components, and using non-toxic materials. They ensure compliance with building codes and conduct thorough inspections to identify potential hazards. Their expertise minimizes risks, making the home safer during and after repairs.
