"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."

"I will hire James again absolutely to do any future painting projects. He is thorough, efficient, well-priced, and a delight to work with. He is thoughtful and earnest, as well as honest and reliable. We had him paint our kitchen (where the counters were brandy-new and very white, and he left them in pristine condition after painting the whole kitchen, not an easy task!), including a chalkboard wall and a lot of trim; he did an awesome job and it looks great. He then did one bedroom, including trim and the doors in the bedroom, and again - fantastic job, thorough and great to work with throughout. We will definitely call James again when we have any paint projects!"

"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."

"K-Rod did a good job painting. When they stained my deck, they dripped stain on my plants and trampled some of them. This is an established garden and I don’t know if the plants will come back. They did not show any care or concern my property and did not even cover the plants before staining."

"We asked for estimates to stain the exterior of our house. Ozzy handled the estimate process the best of the three companies we contacted. He has a friendly, professional manner and his price was in line with the other quotes. Ed did the work and he worked very hard and was polite and very accommodating. Ozzy put in extra effort to get our color choice matched just right. He came to set up the job with Ed and returned to inspect when the job was done. Ozzy spent time painting areas he thought needed improvement, but we hadn't noticed. He then used a blower around the house and took the debris away -- a very nice extra touch! Will hire them again for our painting needs."

Painting questions, answered by experts

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.

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.

Exterior paints contain more volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, making them dangerous when used indoors. Without the free ventilation of the great outdoors, it can take longer for the fumes to dissipate than interior paint. While you may notice the smell lessening more quickly, you should be wary of paint fumes inside for 48 to 72 hours after it dries.

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.
