"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

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

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.

It’s often best to spray on deck sealer. Sprayers can apply sealant more quickly and evenly than rolling while still enabling you to reach tight spaces. When using a sprayer, always use a low-pressure setting at a close distance to ensure an even application. Avoid using sprayers on windy days.

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.
