Customers say: Quality work

"We had a room that had been painted with textured paint which I was going to sand down and paint over. Major PITA and messy! Renzo had a better plan to cover the textured paint, smooth it out and paint over that. Great idea so we had his team paint all our ceilings. They did a great job at a reasonable price."

"Ours is a small condo association of 5 houses. We called about 4 painting companies to look at our decks and give us a quote on Deck painting/staining. What is good about Rick's painting service and especially Rick is that he will come over at a time convenient to us unlike other companies who mostly look at their own convenience. Even though it was drizzling Rick showed up, waited for the rain to stop, he looked at the decks gave us some good suggestion and gave us a few pointers to think about. His quote was within our budget so we assigned him the project. Rick is very professional in his approach before he started the project he spoke to all unit owners and explained them how exactly he will stain/paint the deck. His team is also very professional they made sure garden beds near the deck is covered before they started the work, they made sure our lawn is not damaged by the stain/paint and chemicals. All the 5 unit owners are very happy with Ricks work. Another thing which i should mention is that he is very accommodating, our association due to this COVID scenario could not release his payment on time but Rick did not make a fuss about it he finished his job on time. I would recommend him to my friends and family."

"Chuck is prompt, polite and tidy. He asked questions to make sure he understood the project. He did a great job painting and reglazing old french doors. He also framed, sheetrocked, and painted an old room. Including boxing wires and creating a ceiling. Looks amazing."

Painting 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.

The best type of paint to use for chain link fences is an oil-based paint. Oil-based paints are durable and will withstand the elements well. Search for an oil-based paint with rust protection and aluminum flakes to further protect the longevity of the fence.

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.

Preparation includes cleaning the fence, sanding any rough areas, applying a primer if necessary, and ensuring dry weather for application.

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.
