"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."

"They just did a wonderful job and did it on fairly short notice! I needed my deck painted before the end of the month, which left them 3 weeks in one of their busiest seasons. But they managed to get my project done in less than a week! I am very happy with them and will use them again!"

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

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

Yes, staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan, typically by five to 10 years. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and rot over time. Applying a treatment creates a protective shield that helps prevent splintering, fading, and decay, preserving the wood's strength and appearance. A combination stain and sealer often provides the best protection, as it soaks into the wood grain rather than just sitting on top. This offers superior defense against UV damage and rot and lasts longer than a sealer alone. To maintain the wood's natural look, consider using a near-translucent stain. You should plan to reapply the stain or sealer every two to three years.

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.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.
