Powerwashing
$2,500
Needed to have my back deck and side stairs stained along with a shed. Recardo came and gave an honest estimate and a timeframe. All work was done during the estimated timeframe and well done. Everything was powerwashed on day one. Staining was done over the next two days and on a weekend as well. I highly recommend using this company for any painting service needed.

Ricardo did a fantastic job painting 2 rooms and the hallway, including the high pitch above the stairs. I was extremely impressed with his attention to detail, professionalism and skills! Expect Painting will be my painter of choice for future projects.

Wow! I must have said that word 10 times while working with Ricardo and his team at Expect Painters! We have a large 3-tiered deck that had never been treated prior to us moving in. I called Ricardo, expecting to wait until spring. Not only did he squeeze us in, but he power washed our deck, the back of the house, and stained the whole deck for us! He even took care to remove one part and spray it and then put it back onto the deck for us! He washed the deck one day and stained it another day. He was fast and efficient. To say I was impressed is an understatement! We will be calling him for any future work we may need! It honestly looks like a completely new deck! Thank you to Ricardo and his team! Please use him! You will not regret it! He is kind and reasonable. So easy to work with and an absolutely pleasure to have around! I trusted him entirely with this project and was VERY comfortable with him and his team working on our home!. Great work!

Ricardo and his team plastered and painted our bathroom (walls and ceiling) and basement (ceiling) after a water leak was repaired. They did a fantastic job and we love the color!

RICARDO IS AMAZING. AMAZING IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. He did the paint for the inside of our house and everyone that has been in our house says it looks brand new!!! I can’t recommend this guy enough!!! He is very honest and straightforward. We are first time homebuyers and not at all handy in terms of maintenance but Ricardo helped us with our interior painting, broken door, deck, and so many other little things!!! I had a bunch of quotes from other painters but went with Ricardo because he was so honest what will look good for our house. Very responsive and friendly!! Very trustworthy!! Thanks, Ricardo!!! You helped us so much!

Ricardo is great! He was very professional, helpful and affordable. I was worried looking for someone to do my front porches and back deck with it getting late in the year and the weather getting more unpredictable but Ricardo was able to fit me right away and completely them for me asap. His workers were very good, working long days and, and very clean too. Highly recommend using Expect Painting

Initially they used the woing sand on my brick patio. I called and they came back the next day and used our supply of the correct sand to do the job over again. It came out fine then. They were hard workers and respectful of our property, so I don't know why they had the wrong materials for the job.

Ricardo was excellent to work with. Very professional, prompt and reasonably priced in his profession.. Ricardo and his crew did a wonderful job with fixing, scraping, and spraying my fence. They left everything spotless when they were done. I highly recommend Expect painters to anyone for any painting projects you may have. Great company and I will be using them again for future projects I have.

Ricardo did a great job painting my decks and did the job with details. He was very fast with response and cleaned everything before and after the paint job was completed. I also got epoxy paint in garage and basement by him. Excellent guy to work with.

I would highly recommend Ricardo. He is very professional and friendly. I liked that he kept me informed when work was going to be done. My project was complete within just a few days. Marco did a great job painting my porches and was very neat. The porches looked even better the next day. I am very happy with it.

Ricardo was very professional, providing a written quote and suggestions relative to type of stain for the aging deck. He was very responsive to all our needs. His crew was very thorough, ensuring all the mildew was removed, protecting the house, etc. Regarding timeline for completion of work, he and his crew completed all the work quickly and efficiently - well before our scheduled event in the backyard. Would highly recommend Expect Painters for all your exterior painting needs. I will definitely call on them in the future.

Ricardo's professionalism and personal service won us over when we searched for quotes to stain our deck and front porch. Our experience with Ricardo was very positive from the start, beginning with his prompt arrival, very fair quote, and excellent professionalism with his team throughout performing the job that was well-executed, efficient and courteous.

Ricardo was professional and kept in touch while we were waiting for good weather to stain my deck. He chose a product to use and came on time at the day of work. He and his crew gave high quality work, no dripping on my patio under the deck, no stains on hardware that should not be stained. Even stain on deck and no blank spots.
