"Awesome experience; Jose was very responsive and showed us a lot of paint samples until we got exactly what we wanted. Showed up on time and finished early. His crew was hard working and very careful of not damaging anything. Cleaned up everything too. Will definitely use them again."

"Derek end his team at Complete Painting & Restoration truly exceeded our expectations. As first time homebuyers, the prospect of painting all 2,100 sqft of our townhouse one neutral wall color with one trim seemed daunting. Derek and his team made the entire process seamless and even helped us select colors. We will definitely be using Complete Painting & Restoration again."

"Casey helped us with paint selection and painting of our newly remodeled master bathroom, which looks amazing. He also was able to repair some holes and match the existing paint color in our master bedroom so that it’s impossible to tell there was ever any damage. Casey is very responsive, punctual, and fit the work in very quickly. He’s a pleasure to work with, and would definitely recommend!"

"A really great experience - our new go-to painter! We got a recommendation for this contractor at our local paint store because we were looking for specific expertise with masonry paint and limewash. The owner was responsive, solutions-driven, reasonable and timely. His whole team was professional - and we really appreciated their high quality work product and attention to detail. The whole team delivered exactly what we wanted…..our home looks so beautiful now!"

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

Most gutter painting pros also specialize in complete home exterior painting. You may save by making your gutter painting part of the cost to paint the exterior of a house in its entirety. Many people have all parts of their home exterior painted simultaneously to keep everything looking equally fresh. Consider having walls, trim, porches, shutters, and doors painted as well.

A five-gallon bucket of deck stain will cover roughly 875 square feet in a single coat. Actual coverage will vary based on the type of wood you’re staining and the number of coats. If you plan on doing multiple coats, multiply the square footage by the number of coats to calculate how many buckets of stain you’ll need.

Regular staining, sealing, and inspecting for rot or insect damage prolongs fence lifespan.

Acrylic latex paint is the best option to use on your outdoor wrought iron fence, because it holds up well against the elements. Use a high-quality, exterior-grade paint specifically designed for use on metal. You can choose between spray paint or regular liquid paint. As for primer, it's best to use an oil-based and rust inhibiting option before painting your wrought iron fence.

While power washing isn't a requirement before you stain a fence, it can make the job much easier and faster while reducing manual labor requirements. The stain will not work if the wood is full of dirt and dust, so power washing, sometimes called pressure washing, is a fast and effective way to prepare the wood for staining. Remember that you need to stain or repaint relatively soon after the wood has dried so that there isn’t time for dust and dirt to build up again.
