He painted my hallway, stairwell and large bedroom over the course of 2 days. The paint job is absolutely perfect! He was very respectful of my home and professional! I know I picked a great company to paint my home and look forward to working with Trinity Quality Painting again in the future!"

"This company lived up to their 5 star rating, which is why I chose them over the other estimates I received.. Jasmine was here almost daily to check to make sure that everything was going smoothly and to see whether I had any questions. The gentleman who painted my house did an excellent job. I am extremely pleased with the color and the work and this company"

"Hired Zayne & his team to paint 5+ rooms in our Wisconsin home. From the quote to job completion was seamless - Zayne went above & beyond to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. The crew was always on time & did a fantastic job! They cleaned up after themselves each day and our place was spotless by the end. The paint job looked fantastic. Would hire again & highly recommend!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on coating type, labor, site preparation, and required finishes.

You’ll want to avoid excessively hot or humid conditions, so it’s best to apply your stain in late spring to early fall. It's also important to watch the weather forecast and aim for days when there isn’t rain expected for at least three days. For new decks, allow the wood to season beforehand for at least four to eight weeks.

DIY is possible but presents risks of uneven surfaces or improper adhesion; professionals offer expertise to ensure a lasting finish.

Whitewashing isn’t permanent, but it can last for a long, long time. When you apply it correctly or have a seasoned pro whitewash your brick, whitewashing can last for 20 to 30 years or longer. Whitewash is very durable and typically requires little maintenance, making it a great project for most DIYers.

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.
