"I recently had my shingle roof replaced and I?m very happy with the results. The team was professional, punctual, and completed the job efficiently. The quality of the work is excellent, and the new roof looks great. They kept the work area clean and communicated well throughout the process. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a roof replacement."

"I am very pleased with the quality of work performed considering that Mother Nature was not cooperating. The contractor, who is a carpenter and painter, also suggested repairs to the exterior of my house that I have been aware of but have put off. I highly recommend using this contractor for all your house repairs and replacements."

"Yes the work was done. The two guys that came put in 7 windows and two big bay windows in one day. They did not even taken a break. They cleaned up the small pieces of scrap. Then one week later they came back and put in two new doors with the same professionalism when they did my doors."

"Henio and Kesley from Top Painting were amazing. I talked to several companies before hiring them and was not confident with the information I received from others. I knew I wanted to hire Top Painting within minutes of talking to them. They came to my condo, examined the job and explained in great detail what would be required to complete the project so that it would not only look good in the short term, but last for the long haul. The condo I bought was in pretty awful condition. It used to be an old hotel room and so had commercial grade vinyl wallpaper on the walls which was coated with layers and layers of old paint and reeked of cigarette smoke and other bad smells. The popcorn ceiling was smoke-stained and yellowed, as well. I was warned by the condo association and other owners in the building not to attempt to remove the wallpaper because of the industrial grade glue and the damage to the walls underneath, but I was determined to make this happen and Henio and Kesley inspired confidence. They acknowledged the difficulty and explained everything it would take to make it happen. They removed the wall paper, painstakingly removed all of the commercial grade glue, fixed the walls, re-plastered, filled holes in the baseboards, etc. The final product was a beautifully painted condo which not only looks amazing but also smells fresh and clean. Henio and Kesley were very responsive. They sent me progress videos when I was unable to come to the condo to see the project. They always responded to calls and texts in a timely manner. They showed up when they said they would and they even finished the job several days earlier than they projected which was a wonderful surprise. The building manager told me that they were incredibly respectful, professional, quiet and wonderful to work with. He has been managing this condo building for over 25 years and told me that most contractors were incredibly hard to deal with but that Top Painting was a breath of fresh air. Henio and Kesley went above and beyond during this project. There were many things on my list to do after the painting was completed, such as fixing the track for the blinds that was falling out of the ceiling and replacing one of the large blinds which had fallen off the contraption. To my surprise and delight, Kesley and Henio fixed these things for me as they replaced everything after finishing the job. They could have just put it back the way they found it and I still would have given them a glowing review. After all, I hired them for the walls, not these other things. But they went above and beyond and left my condo far better than they found it. The walls look amazing and I am confident that the work is durable and will last. I can't recommend Top Painting highly enough!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

Yes, it is important to wash your deck before painting to ensure the paint applies well and adheres properly. While you don't have to use a pressure washer, it is one of the most efficient cleaning methods. Pressure washing can quickly remove dirt, wood fibers, and flaked paint, getting deeper into the wood than manual scrubbing. You can also clean the deck with a stiff broom and a cleaning solution. Regardless of the method, a clean surface is essential for good paint adhesion. Make sure the deck is completely dry before applying any paint.

The plastic in composite decking boards protects them enough that you do not need to paint them to prevent warping. In fact, painting composite decking voids the warranty of some manufacturers. Painting can also increase maintenance on the deck, as you must paint regularly to keep it looking its best.

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.

It’s a good idea to sand your porch before painting. This will remove loose or chipped paint and debris, and give you a cleaner surface so that your new paint goes on smoothly. But if the existing surface is in good condition, it’s not necessary to sand your porch before you paint.
