"I met with Mark and he gave me a fair quote and even suggested things I hadn't thought of, like refinishing our banister.  Bob and crew were always timely, polite and very respectful of us and our house.  The crew was with us a week and I couldn't be more pleased with their professionalism and the quality of the work.  They took pride in their work and honestly were just as careful as I would have been.
They consulted on color selection and were very helpful with that part of the job.
I had been clearing rooms, as best I could, before they painted and at the end of the week they were ahead of me.  My husband's office was the last room to be painted and every wall is covered with photos and shelves with trophies.  Bob and crew took pictures of all the items, removed them, painted the walls, and put everything back perfectly and finished ahead of schedule.  I could not be more pleased!
Following the whole-house paint job, we had all flooring in the house replaced.  Bob and a small crew came back after the January floor job and re-caulked and painted the shoe molding and touched up the walls and banister that were banged up when the carpet was installed.
Will definitely have them back - hopefully this summer to paint our exterior!!
Thanks Mark,  Bob and crew for treating my home the way one would treat their own!

"Fantastic! The men from JD Hostetter came out sooner than expected to take care of our badly peeling deck. They removed the patio furniture, pressure washed - came back a few days later to sand and scrape the deck before painting. The crew was polite, prompt, professional - it was a job well done!"

"I'm really torn between a B and a C for this company. I'd honestly give a B- if I could. The salesperson that came out originally was extremely professional and did a great job, or so I thought, but it became apparent once the job was underway that there were miscommunications and it was not 100% clear to the crew what was to be completed. I was told the job would take 2 days to complete. The "crew" was only 2 people so I'm not surprised it ended up taking 4 days to complete. They used the wrong color in a couple of areas but this was easily fixed. I felt they could have been more professional such as laying down plastic sheeting, etc. over major walkways. They didn't even really use tarps much and ended up getting brown paint on our beige carpet, it came up but you can still see the stain a little. We will forever be finding white paint flecks on our hardwood floors because they guys were honestly sloppy. The end result looks ok but it was stressful getting there. The only saving grace was our project manager, Mike, who was very responsive and came out to the house several times and did his best to make sure we were satisfied. A for effort on his part but between the miscommunications and the quality of work done I can't say I would recommend them unfortunately."

"Working with Paint 101 was a great experience. Everything was easy and professional from getting the quote to scheduling and getting the work done. I had them power wash and stain my deck. They did a great job and the deck practically looks brand new. The price was also great! I can't say enough good things about the quality and efficiency. I would highly recommend using this company and will be using them again in the future."

Customers say: Quality work

"I had a great experience working with Rick. At first, I hired Rick to do some repair work on the small platform deck at my rental property; he did such a great job that I hired him to repair the platform deck on my primary home as well. I could not be more pleased with the final product at both properties. At our primary home, I initially wanted an extension on our current deck. Rick quoted me a fair price and got to work. Upon pulling up a couple of boards, he noted that our baseboards were severely rotting and decaying quickly (Deck is maybe 12-15 years old) and so he quickly quoted what it would be to tear down and replace , he was able to make it work with his schedule and completed the project in 2 days. The new deck is amazing! I highly recommend Rick for any deck or carpentry needs that you may have. I referred him over to other family members. Rick is fast, fair, and efficient."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, it is generally a very good idea to seal your deck after pressure washing. Power washing removes not only dirt and debris but also a thin layer of wood, leaving the surface exposed and more susceptible to weathering. Sealing is almost always needed after this process. After a general cleaning, sealing isn't automatically necessary if the existing sealant is still intact. You can test the surface by placing a few drops of water on it. If the water beads up, the sealant is working. If it soaks into the wood, it's time to apply a new sealant. If it has been a few years, it's wise to remove the old sealant, wash the deck, and reseal for maximum protection.

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

You don't need to seal your deck after painting it because most exterior paints are waterproof and weather-resistant. While stealing is not necessary, it can add an additional layer of protection.

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths

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.
