"Erivan and his team were super responsive and responsible and great to work with. They did really high quality work for us, and I loved the result. They have been painting for years, and were referred to me from a friend who had them paint his historic Somerville home with many details. The team was always on time, and they were great problem solvers when things inevitably came up (we ran out of paint, for example). I was also impressed that they painted all the trim perfectly without painters tape :) Their work included doing some light spackling of wall cracks, and removal of shades before they started. Finally, they were super fast!"

"Timely quote given. Project scheduled a few weeks later. Unfortunately will require some touch up painting but they left matching paint thankfully, otherwise would have been higher rating."

"EXCELLENT!! I could not be more pleased. Peter and his staff were wonderful to work with. From my first inquiry to get an estimate, to the final payment, they were punctual, professional, friendly, and most importantly, the work done was of high quality. Peter himself is a a very easy to work with he made the entire house painting experience super easy. He kept me fully informed along the way, and he and his crew were timely both with the initial estimating process and with the entire job. They even helped with color selection for my house, and I am beyond thrilled with the final results. They did a good amount of carpentry work (fixing rotted trim, repairing clapboards, etc) and everything looks great. There was absolutely no mess at all along the way. I have already asked Peter for a quote for some interior painting. I highly recommend them based on my experience."

"Rafael and his crew did a great job. They worked long days to get the job done quickly and they did a great job painting the entire interior of my home, plus they painted and stained my stairs. Rafael kept me posted throughout the process and he was knowledge and helpful with questions. I highly recommend."

"This company repainted two warehouse units I own and did a great job. I have done some internal house painting myself so I can appreciate the fine job- good straight lines between paint of different colors on wall and ceiling, even quality paint coverage, just generally first rate. Would recommend."

"Hany and his crew are just as outstanding as when I first hired them 8 years ago. They recently painted the exterior of my 126 year old house and it looks absolutely beautiful. Hany gave me a reasonable price for my budget and he and his crew did not disappoint. I highly recommend this contractor for their high professionalism and courtesy. 10 plus out of 10. Thank you again Hany!!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

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.

Manufacturers use a different process and formula for exterior paint versus interior. The exterior formula has to withstand elements like temperature, UV lighting, moisture, wind, and debris. Interior paint doesn’t need to be as tough, only exposed to dust, scratches, dents, scuff marks, and the like.

Both a roller and a brush are effective methods for painting a chain link fence. A roller will make the job easier by ensuring symmetrical strokes and reaching the backside of the fence as well, which cuts down on paint time. However, a brush is often necessary for painting the base of the fence and near the posts due to its ease of reaching smaller spaces.

Choosing the best color for your home exterior should factor in longevity as well as your personal taste. To keep your house looking newly painted as long as possible, stay away from red paint. Although red homes pop and are quintessential for country-style barns, red paint tends to fade fastest in the sun. Go with earth tones if you want paint that best resists fading.

Pressure-treated wood lasts at least 10 years, but with the right care and treatment, it can last as long as 40 years. Painting the boards is one way to increase the lifespan of pressure-treated wood. The layer of paint provides extra protection for the wood against the exterior elements and insects.
