"We were very pleased with the work done by Peter's crew. The weather was hot and humid but they still showed up and did a full day's work. Our starting date was greatly delayed because of rain and other bad weather. Once the weather cooperated, the work was done in about 5 or 6 days. Peter agreed to have someone install our new storm door and didn't increase our estimate. Very kind of him!! They also replaced a piece of vinyl siding that had come off during a windy storm. Again, no additional charge. We had to replace a few plastic shutters and when my husband bought the replacement shutters, we discovered that didn't match what was on the side of the house. One of the workers took it upon himself to rotate shutters from one side of the house to the other to make everything match. We really appreciated that. I intend to have Peter work on another project for us later in the year."

"Cesar is so professional and knowledgeable. He was extremely patient with us. We were staining the deck and the color was off. Cesar and his crew had to sand the whole deck again and apply the color stain. It was a huge project and Cesar was patient and made sure it was done correctly. I couldn’t have asked for a better job. It’s so beautiful! Thank you again Cesar."

"Great! The crew came early in the morning and left early in the evening, working in mid-40's degree temperatures. Although they have another days work to do, the porch already looks phenomenal and the front door frame is so much better than it was."

"I would highly recommend Star Painting!! They transformed my house into something that didn't look good into something beautiful! I absolutely love the job they did. They also were showed up whenever they said they would and finished the job quickly and in the time frame they quoted taking into consideration the rain days. Not to mention they are affordable and the crew was very friendly. I give them an A+"

"Lighthouse Painting just finished painting our home. The crew did a wonderful job, making sure each phase was done completely before moving on. We changed colors and after the two coats of stain, there are none of the old colors to be seen. Highly recommend them to others. The crew was easy to work with and put in full days on the job."

"My project has just started. So far, I'm extremely impressed. The owner came out to give me an estimate, and discuss what I wanted for my home exterior staining. Very professional, courteous, and honest. The first stage of washing my home to prepare for staining was also impressive. The foreman who is overseeing the project arrived, and again reviewed everything that will take place. The crew then cleaned my home in only 2 hours! Again very impressive. Prior to leaving, they neatly stacked all the ladders that they used completely out of the way, which is even more important to me because I have a large dog on a run who loves to get into trouble with new objects in the yard. So far, I'm extremely happy with Northern Ridge and highly recommend them."

"Amazing work! We had areas that had peeled and had prior water damage. The patching is seamless. Our walls have never looked this good. They are true professionals and craftsmen. I will definitely have them back to do other rooms. Thank you for making this project a success!"

"Excellent company to have any painting and all household repairs done by. They have been doing any and all work in my home for six years. Indoor and outdoor painting and repairs etc. They pay attention to all detail at all times and have excellent suggestions as to the best way to make the repairs. Honest and most reasonable pricing on every job. Efficient and honorable and very time conscious. You will not find another company, that will give you excellent man power and customer service. I have had work done by other companies and there is simply no competition out there to even compare them with. Efficiency and great work ethics has always been part of their priority. C&S paint is by far the best."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

Yes, staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan, typically by five to 10 years. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and rot over time. Applying a treatment creates a protective shield that helps prevent splintering, fading, and decay, preserving the wood's strength and appearance. A combination stain and sealer often provides the best protection, as it soaks into the wood grain rather than just sitting on top. This offers superior defense against UV damage and rot and lasts longer than a sealer alone. To maintain the wood's natural look, consider using a near-translucent stain. You should plan to reapply the stain or sealer every two to three years.

Ensure gutters and downspouts remain clean, monitor wall integrity, and promptly address any arising imperfections or peels concept permanence rooted.

The best type of paint for concrete exterior surfaces like concrete porches, steps, or walkways is high-quality exterior-grade paint with strong weather resistance. Acrylic latex blends with tiny anti-slip particles will help create an anti-slip coating for your concrete porch. This type of paint will stand up best to the elements, especially rain, snow, and ice. An exterior epoxy will also help strengthen your concrete porch.
