"The Perfect Edge Painting crew was punctual. C.W, Donna and Dana were polite but professional. They explained they would cover furniture with light plastic sheeting and move it out of the immediate work area. Heavy drop cloths were taped down on the floor. Cracks and drywall imperfections were filled, smoothed and sanded. Once the trio started painting , they stopped to ask if my wife and I were happy with the color and look of the new paint. They painted our entry hall, dining room, family room and kitchen. When they were done they cleaned and swept up. Apparently this crew has worked together for many years . They have high standards, their attention to details is impressive and their finished product is first rate. I was impressed. I would use them again and recommend them without hesitation."

"Outstanding results. It was so much more than expected! Donald and his crew just did an outstanding job on removing our old fence, building the new, custom fence and cleaning up afterward. He also made sure that our every concern was answered and taken care of! Thank you Donald and great crew! We couldn't be happier!"

"We nneded to have our home's front exterior trim repainted. Jim Labbe was very prompt, pleasant and professional in his dealing with us and the crew he had working on our project. During the final inspection, when we realized that the window frames and adjoining trim were painted together, preventing windows from open normally, Jim immediately cut through the paint, and helped us check window openings. After completing our job, we received a personal handwritten note thanking us for our business. We would definitely Five Star Painting to others."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Painted decks typically require a new coat about once every ten years. In between new coats, it's best to maintain your deck by regularly removing debris, washing it down with non-abrasive cleaners, and staying ahead of structural issues, such as loose boards and rotting wood. In some cases, painting a small section of your deck affected by damage or the sun can lower your costs and workload.

Eggshell and satin finishes are best for porches because they sit in the sweet spot between scuffable matte and distracting high gloss. Your porch sees a fair amount of wear and tear, so you don’t want paint that’ll show every mark like matte, but you don’t want to be blinded by glossy paint in the sun either. Eggshell and satin have durability and a look that sits nicely in the middle.

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.

Avoid using cleaning products that are abrasive or contain bleach or acidic components on composite decking to avoid discoloration. Early-generation Trex decking isn’t designed to handle pressure washer cleaning—and if you use them on second-generation boards, always use a low setting to avoid the risk of damage that can risk voiding your warranty.

You’ll need to wait until the surface is completely dry, which can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours under optimal conditions. The waiting period depends on several factors, including the type of siding and the weather conditions. Trying to paint before the surface is completely dry can trap moisture under the paint, leading to bubbling, blistering, and mold growth.
