"I needed some painting done professionally and timely. I got both with Steve. He arrived timely for the estimate and the job. He completed everything in the time quoted and I could not be more pleased with the results. I am going to him for another body of work without hesitation. If you want quality and professionalism, call Steve."
"Welerson, Daniel and the team at ABC Painting are fabulous. They are clean, organized, prompt and very professional. Welerson and Daniel stop by frequently to check on the progress of the job and to offer very valuable suggestions. I had them paint a room that was originally stained cedar panels. WOW, the transformation of this room is incredible. Thank you ABC Painting for a high quality job. I give them my highest recommendation."
"Work was performed exactly as discussed and agreed to (match existing paint colors) at estimated cost. Start was delayed at our request due to high heat and humidity, with no complaints. Work was further delayed through no fault of Arch Painting due to continuous wet weather. Once a good weather window finally occurred, the work was performed quickly with no impact on us. We were totally satisfied with the quality of the work and the finished product."
"Chet and his team did a great job painting the entire interior of our home. We had some very dark walls and a brown ceiling and I chose VERY light paint colors. I'm sure these areas were challenging to cover, but you can't even tell there used to be such dark colors in our home! The paint job is great and they were able to paint the entire interior of our home in 2 days. I would choose Silva Express Painting for any future painting jobs without hesitation again."
"Ozzy and his team did a great job painting the exterior of our home. They were efficient, meticulous, organized, and very punctual. The house came out great! We are very happy with the quality of the work and the outcome."
"I highly recommend Evolution Painting. We had carpentry work that needed to be done as well as staining the house. When a couple of unforeseen items popped up, they were taken care of as well. Each day, when they left you would never know they were there...excellent clean-up. My house looks great!"
"Very prompt response after initial contact. Specialty painting was exactly what I needed and this small owner-operated business fit the bill completely. We had an initial visit where we met & he assessed what needed to be done. He has a terrific eye for color, and matched exactly what I had. Scheduling was very soon thereafter, with no delays. The repair of the damaged portions of my 30-year old faux surface is now complete and nobody could ever tell a repair has been done, it is so seamless. Very reasonable price, as well. We expect to be working with Renaissance Revival on another job in our house."
"C. Morcone Painting and Remodeling provided expertise and quality construction from start to finish in our outdoor deck and stair project as well as our garage/carport project. With their skilled craftsmanship and carpentry, it was a pleasure dealing with their professionalism, integrity, and knowledge in the selection of materials and the design of our construction projects."
"Could not be more pleased. Alex was very prompt with the quote & work was performed when he said it would be started. Very professional, prompt and quality workmanship. Would highly recommend Gold Painting to anyone & will us them again for any painting project."
"Professional, courteous, and expert service. I will recommend First Class Painting to family, friends, and neighbors. One of my neighbors hired them while walking by."
You can use latex or acrylic paint outdoors. Although acrylic paint tends to last longer outside, it also costs more, so if you’re painting the outside of your house, for instance, latex paint is often a go-to option. However, acrylic will be your best choice if you want to spend some extra money for added durability.
You should stain both sides of your fence to get the full benefits. Fences often fall along property lines, so you may want to save a buck by leaving your neighbor’s side in the dust. If you do that, all you get is a slightly better view. Moisture and UV rays can still sneak in through the side that’s unpainted or worn down and damage your fence. Rot and rust will spread, even if you can’t see it from your side of the lawn.
You can weather a new wood fence by applying vinegar with steel wool as a way to fade some of the coloring. You may also find it easier to stain your entire fence a new color instead of trying to get newer fence boards to match an older one.
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.
Regular cleaning, touch-ups for small defects, and resealing or repainting every 2-3 years help to maintain a vibrant appearance and protection.
