They were thorough and worked from 7am until dusk each day. The crew is very skilled, meticulous and courteous. The owner is very responsive and flexible. Our 32 year old house looks new again!

"We are a company of home improvement that aims to offer a good service with a good price. Our commitment with quality has more than 14 years. We guarantee our services with a 3 years warranty and we are fully insured to serve you better. Our goal is to make your life simple letting you feel that you can count on us when the question is renovation."

"I’ve worked with Color Matters Painting twice now, and both experiences have been exceptional. I first hired Wilian to repair some interior ceiling damage, and he came back multiple times, without hesitation, until the job was truly perfect. His professionalism stood out immediately: he showed up in person for the quote, walked me through the plan slowly and clearly, and followed up with genuine care. Because of that positive experience, I asked him to help with some exterior rot repair and painting. I had shopped around and kept seeing the same feedback from others: that his work is high quality and that he never cuts corners, and that’s exactly what I experienced. The craftsmanship was excellent, and the communication was consistently thoughtful and respectful. I highly recommend Wilian and Color Matters Painting to anyone looking for a dependable, skilled, and truly professional painter. I’ll absolutely be working with him again"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Satin is considered one of the best types of paint for baseboards and trim, along with doors and cabinets. Its soft sheen can help enhance architectural details while standing up to frequent cleaning and everyday wear. Matte finishes are prone to scuffs and harder to clean, making them less practical for high-touch surfaces such as doors.

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

It’s best to use an exterior latex acrylic paint to promote maximum adhesion to composite decking. This flexible paint type can better cope with the natural expansion and contraction that can occur with composite deck boards. Oil-based paints won’t adhere as effectively and are more likely to crack and peel as the boards flex. Testing whether your chosen paint will stick on an inconspicuous section or a spare board is a good idea.

If you’re deciding between limewash versus whitewash, know that both have a chalky matte appearance. Limewash is made from lime, water, and sometimes pigment, while whitewash consists of lime, water, white chalk, and binders (though you can get a similar look with watered-down white paint). Whitewash has fewer options for color customization, and it sits on surfaces instead of being absorbed into them, which can trap moisture. Whitewashing costs less—about $1.40 to $4.20 per square foot.

Wood stain is not flammable after it dries. The solvent in wood stain is what causes the liquid form to be highly flammable, but the stain drying process involves the solvents dissolving, which leaves behind a non-flammable product on your wood project. Wood stain is, however, flammable before you apply it, so you should always store partially full cans and used wood stain rags away from sources of heat and open flames.
