"I have used The Painting Group but personally and professionally for many different projects. Most recently the painted and stained the pavilion that covers our outdoor kitchen. Their attention to detail and professionalism is unmatched. Their prices are beyond reasonable. Their staff (looking at you, Bre! 😎) and owners are friendly and fantastic. We loved our experience with The Painting Group and we will continue to use them for all of our painting needs in the future!"

"We learned of Hoosier Permanent Coatings through their advertising.  We liked the idea of not having to paint again for as long as we own the home and the warranty is transferrable.  
The  paint/stain colors of our house were custom modified several years ago.  Believing they would not have a similar color in the color palette to chose from, they indicated they could custom color from leftover paint and stain.  On the day of the painting I immediately noticed the siding paint was not the correct color.  Fortunately, I was home and stopped the work.  Management arrived and concurred the paint wasn't correct.  It took approximately 3 weeks to adjust the color because the paint is manufactured in the eastern part of the country.  Upon the second attempt, again, I immediately noticed the color still wasn't correct, however, it was improved.  Because colder temperatures were fast approaching, I decided to approve the color.   In retrospect, I should have looked at their standard colors first before deciding to go custom.
The company uses painting subcontractors and it's doubtful all of them are legal citizens, albeit, we didn't inquire in advance. 
Overall, we are quite satisfied with the paint and the application.  The painters could have been a little neater with the clean-up, I had to do a lot of the clean-up myself (caulking debris, masking tape, etc.).  The painting job itself, however, is very good.  An added benefit which Hoosier Coatings didn't mention, we believe the paint has an R factor.  This past winter our home maintained a 4 degree higher temperature without adjusting the thermostat. Their competitor advertises the R factor so that is how I discovered the reason.  All winter we kept wondering why our house was warmer.
We have received numerous compliments on how nice our house looks!

"It went great. Eric was present when the insurance adjuster came to check it out and he worked with her to get us as much money as possible. Insurance only paid for the ceiling water stain removal and attic work, but not for roof replacement because roof problem was not from wind or hail, etc.
The work needed 3 contractors - Roof guys, mold remediator and Painter. We got quotes form 2 other companies, but decided to go with Eric due to several reasons - local business, he himself is the owner; the price, which was better than the other 2 companies; his ability to get the whole job done in 2.5 days during the snowy month of Jan-Feb. The roof guys worked in coordination with the Mold remediator and they finished that part in 1.5 days. The painter came another day and finished the interior work in that day. With the other companies, they were only able to do 1 or 2 of the things and we had to get the painter by ourselves.
The whole team did a great job. They cleaned up the yard completely.
We are still waiting on the paperwork - final receipts, the certificates for insurance purposes, though."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.

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.

Hot, intense sunshine can cause your stain to dry too quickly, which could lead it to look uneven or patchy. If you’re staining the deck during hotter months, it’s best to do it in the morning or evening once the wood has had time to cool down. If you’re staining in cooler weather with less sunshine, the time of day won’t make as much of a difference.

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.
