"The whole crew as great. Neat, careful of my shrubs, and all were hard workers. It was a real gift to have them do the entire exterior and safely reach the highest points. I plan to hire them again for the deck and some interior painting. No complaints."

"Willyan and his crew did an exceptional job from day 1. Everything was explained up front and done professionally. He even replaced some broken solar deck lights at no cost which was a pleasant surprise that surpassed my expectations. Our home looks better than ever and have his team to thank for that. Highly recommend contacting Willyan for your next painting project if you want to be treated with “first class” service."

"The team leader had some trouble following through with communication. He was supposed to show up and inspect everything and he never did. They also missed some things and never got it done. They also broke a light and never took care of it. The workers were good but the managements communication needs improvement. The work itself is really good."

"Reliant Painting did a masterful job painting the exterior of my home. All of the siding and trim was peeling and flaking. The crew spent days of heavy scraping and sanding which cleaned up the surface tremendously. Using Top-Quality Benjamin Moore Paints made the results even more incredible. Thanks to Leone and his crew my house looks beautiful now."

"Excellent! Zuck painting has the most insanely fast and talented crew of painters. Everything was started and completed on the most rapid schedule I have ever seen. They said: "Your entire House will be done in three weeks" and I thought it was a joke, and they were completely done in 2.5 weeks. For context, we have a 3-story victorian wedding cake style house with lots of water damage, wood rot, and complex decorative molding. Everything was scraped down sealed and replaced within week 1, and by week two they were priming and painting. 13/10 amazing service for an unbelievable price."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, it is important to wash your deck before painting to ensure the paint applies well and adheres properly. While you don't have to use a pressure washer, it is one of the most efficient cleaning methods. Pressure washing can quickly remove dirt, wood fibers, and flaked paint, getting deeper into the wood than manual scrubbing. You can also clean the deck with a stiff broom and a cleaning solution. Regardless of the method, a clean surface is essential for good paint adhesion. Make sure the deck is completely dry before applying any paint.

Costs depend on coating type, labor, site preparation, and required finishes.

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths

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.

For homes in areas with extreme weather, high heat, or intense sun exposure, high-quality acrylic paint is the best option. Acrylic paint is durable, resistant to both heat and cold, and provides a protective barrier with excellent UV resistance. For best results, look for acrylics that contain natural earth pigments, which are better suited for resisting sun damage. While oil-based paint is also durable, it can be prone to fading in high heat and can become too viscous to apply easily in cold temperatures. Additionally, choosing a neutral or light color like gray, beige, or white can help, as these colors absorb less heat than darker shades.
