"I COULD NOT POSSIBLY BE ANY HAPPIER WITH HOW WONDERFUL THE HOUSE LOOKS! MARIO AND HIS CREW TAKE GREAT PRIDE IN DOING AN EXCELLENT JOB AND WORKED WITH ME EVERY STEP OF THE WAY TO MAKE SURE THE END RESULT WAS WHAT I WANTED. HONESTLY THE FAUX WORK MARIO DID IS EVEN BETTER THAT I HAD HOPED FOR. MARIO, ED AND JAY ARE ALL VERY PROMPT, HARD WORKERS, ALWAYS POLITE AND VERY HELPFUL WITH SUGGESTIONS. THEY ALWAYS CLEANED UP BEFORE LEAVING FOR THE DAY, AND BY STARTING IN THE FAMILY ROOM MADE SURE THAT THEY DISRUPTED OUR HOME LIFE AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE. MARIO TAKES GREAT PRIDE IN FINISHING A JOB ON TIME, AND THE ONLY REASON THEY NEEDED AN EXTRA DAY IS BECAUSE I MADE MY REQUEST TO FAUX THE FRONT HALL (IN METALLIC PAINT, IT LOOKS FANTASTIC!!) AFTER THEY HAD ALREADY STARTED TO WORK. I WILL DEFINITELY USE THEM FOR MY PAINTING NEEDS IN THE FUTURE, AND AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE WHO WANTS ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND EXCELLENT FAUX WORK DONE."

"I've used Fortune Restoration in the past when I managed condominium buildings. After seeing the cedar siding work they did on a friend's house I decided to call Tom Fortune for my own residence. Tom took the time to listen and called his lead carpenter to discuss the various siding and trim options. He was able to write the estimate on the spot. They started quickly and there were no delays once they began. Their crews were communicative and professional. Tom also stopped by regularly to inspect the workmanship and make sure I was satisfied. Fortune removed the existing metal siding on the house, replaced the soffit and fascia with PVC which was quite labor intensive, sided the gable ends and small front dormer with cedar, stained the new cedar, and painted all the new trim and exterior windows. They left the area in very good condition. I'm very pleased with their responsiveness and quality of the work and recommend them without reservation."

"We absolutely love Luis's professionalism, kindness, and honesty. When Luis approached me on Angi, to be honest, I was not sure, simply how little review he has. But like any great business or profile, it needs to start somewhere.... and I am so glad we hired Luis to paint and stain our deck. When we were getting estimates, many people have given all kind of estimates. Some will only do one coat, some won't even sand for us. But Luis came in with saying he would do everything with a very competitive price. Besides, everything that he shared with us about how to treat the wood or types of paint is on point (I did my own research too). Last but most importantly, Luis is not pushy at all, he provide his professional opinion and lets you decide! So glad we found Luis, and we are already talking about using him again for our fence. Bot side of our neighbor were so impress with our 'new' deck and want to engage Luis too."

"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!"

"Angel did a great job on refinishing my interior wood window frames on two large corner windows. On day one he came and stripped and put down the new stain. Let this dry out over the weekend and came back on Monday to apply the water based varnish. No bad fumes and a wonderful touch up job with the paint around the wood. I am very pleased with his work and will definitely contact him in the springtime for more work."

"We hired Big League Company for two big painting projects... garage interior painting and a very large outdoor deck with a full pergola above it. Patrick, the owner, contacted us quickly, gave us a detailed quote, and scheduled us within 3 days for the projects to begin. His crew, Ramiro and Asok, did excellent work...very hard-working and professional.The communication was excellent! We highly recommend this company!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

A properly applied coat of stain will last between 3 and 8 years, depending on your climate. If you live in a place where your fence experiences a lot of moisture or high heat, your stain will last for a shorter period than in more temperate conditions. We recommend reapplying stain every 3 to 5 years to keep your wood in good condition.

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.

Rags used with oil-based stains are highly flammable and can spontaneously combust in the right conditions. To reduce the fire risk, throw them in a metal container after use and add rocks on top to secure them. Add an inch of water and seal the container. Take the rags in the container to a hazardous waste factory as soon as possible.

Opt for an interior wood stain that is rated for your type of wood. Consider your personal style preferences as well as the overall use of the room when choosing a color. Remember, the color you see at the store may look different on your actual floors once applied. This is why if you have the chance, it’s helpful to test a few options on a scrap piece of wood in the room first. Once you narrow it down, you can test a small patch on an inconspicuous area in the room to see it on the actual floors.

An exterior paint job typically lasts between 5 and 10 years, though this can range from 3 to 17 years depending on several factors. The longevity is influenced by the quality of the paint and primer, the quality of the application, the local climate, and the type of surface being painted. For example, paint on wood siding may need to be redone every 3 to 7 years, while painted brick can last up to 17 years. Aluminum siding often needs repainting every 5 years.
