"We will always use Superior Strokes for our painting needs. Pricing is always fair and Steve is extremely reliant, detail oriented, and highly skilled. We have had fences painted, our deck re-stained and our home power washed and the quality of the work is exceptional."

"Barry and Paul were wonderful! Not only did they give us the best price, but they picked up the exact paint we chose and that was included. Additionally, they were prompt, friendly, and did an impeccable job with painting the room - we will definitely be working with Keane Painting again and would HIGHLY recommend!!"

"Paul and his team were extremely professional, meticulous, easy to work with, and kind. They arrived early each day, put in long hours, and paid attention to details that even I had not noticed! They went above and beyond to make our house look like a brand new home— from carefully caulking cracks, painting window shutters and the garage and front door columns too. Paul checked in with questions along the way that showed how conscientious he is— from painting an exterior AC unit (an eyesore previously) to the exterior foundational wall color selection and even removing gunk around a basement window— he took his time and the work was thorough and beautiful. We requested that he strip paint from one of the columns holding up our deck to match the other columns and the result is amazing— looks exactly like the others. On top of all this, the team got the job done in great time! Not at all rushed but impressively efficient. I can't recommend Olde English Painting enough. All our neighbors keep saying our house looks so beautiful!"

"Mark and Andrew did a GREAT job!!! They painted our Living Room, Dining Room and Kitchen and ceilings. They did 2 coats of paint (Benjamin Moore) with 2 contrasting colors in the Dining Room. Mark really helped us in suggesting colors and finishes. In addition, we are going to have them do some more painting in our house!!"

"We had all the interior of our home painted and some carpentry work done as well. In addition, we had our kitchen cabinets painted white to modernize the appearance. We had a railing placed in our home. The Quality of the Painting was Exceptional. The painters did an outstanding job. Their work was of high quality and detailed oriented. They were always on time and extremely neat. It was a pleasure to have the painters in our home. Our home looks refreshed and beautiful. We would hire Quality Preferred Painting again. If you want exceptional painting and carpentry work done in your home or business with a highly professional team, call Steve Austin."

"Great experience with Cassio and his crew. The project covered a staircase across three floors with high ceilings, including staining the wooden railings and painting all trims. The final result looks excellent and the quality really stands out. Work was completed on time and the space was kept clean throughout. Nice attention to detail as well, especially with caulking around trims and switches. Helpful input on color choices made the end result come together really well. Also appreciated that Cassio stopped by afterward to take care of a few small touch-ups without any hassle. Highly recommend Cassio and his crew for reliable, high-quality painting work."

"I hired Silva Express Painting after searching for a company to paint the interior of my home after we had some water damage. Chet came out quickly and looked over the job and provided me with a detailed estimate. Chet was very professional and easy to talk to-he listened to what I wanted done. The decision to go with his company was an easy one! I was able to get on his schedule rather quickly. He and his team did an excellent job! They were respectful of our property and personal space. They showed up EVERY day and ON TIME. This was not an easy job-fixing the water damage/stains, patching of nail holes, removing wallpaper, and working around all the furniture. They managed to get the job done as agreed in a very manageable timeframe. My MOM is so happy with the results as am I. She got her house back even better than expected! I was so happy with their work that I hired them to finish painting a new addition to my home. I highly recommend this company."

Painting questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can paint galvanized chain link, but the process is a bit more difficult as it requires additional prep work. Before applying the primer and paint, you must remove the original coating from the metal, which can be time-consuming. If the original coating is not removed, the primer and paint will not bond properly and cause peeling over time.

The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage. 

While the answer varies based on weather, 10 a.m. is a good time to start painting. The dew will have dried, meaning there’s no moisture on the house, and the temperature will likely be moderate and the sunlight less direct. Starting mid-morning should also give you enough daylight and pleasant weather to work on the job for several hours.

Whitewashing isn’t permanent, but it can last for a long, long time. When you apply it correctly or have a seasoned pro whitewash your brick, whitewashing can last for 20 to 30 years or longer. Whitewash is very durable and typically requires little maintenance, making it a great project for most DIYers.

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.
