"Al and his team at Essential Painting were fantastic. They painted the interior of our house, stained the front door, pressure washed the deck and pool patio, and repaired the deck. They provided a detailed proposal at a competitive price. They were prompt and completed the work as scheduled. They did an excellent job. The team was friendly and very helpful. I highly recommend them."

"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 recently hired Fernanda and Willyan’s team to paint my house and deck, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, they were responsive and always on time, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. What impressed me most was their professionalism and knowledge. They patiently answered all my questions and explained each step of the process in detail. Their carpentry skills are exceptional — instead of buying expensive pre-made siding from big-box stores, they custom-built my window siding on-site, which not only saved me money but also ensured a perfect fit and better quality. Their pricing is reasonable, especially considering the high quality of their work. I also appreciated how their team strictly followed proper procedures and didn’t miss a single step or detail. Every brushstroke and finishing touch was done with care. I highly recommend Fernanda and Willyan to anyone looking for top-notch painting and carpentry services."

"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."

"SBL Painters (Shay Bollens-Lund) was the epitome of helpfulness and high-quality service! Cannot recommend him more highly and would be happy to speak to anyone that needs a reference for him. SBL sealed my new Cumaru hardwood deck in one day using the product that I had chosen and ordered, which I really appreciated. There was absolutely not one drop out of place, a very clean and high-quality job done quickly and for a price that beat others quotes by a longshot!"

"I highly recommend Urbano Painting. They applied solid stain to the cedar siding and trim of our two-story colonial and performed some repair and replacement carpentry - at a price that was lower than all but one of the quotes I received. All of their work was impeccable. Jocimar and his whole team are a pleasure to deal with and went the extra mile to ensure our complete satisfaction. Everything was done with a high degree of professionalism, from prep work to staining to daily cleanup. The whole experience exceeded my expectations, and I hope to hire them again for interior painting."

"The team of workers were professional in their approach to the job. They communicated well with my wife who was the lead person with this house project. The painting was completed within a few days as expected. The price for the job was very reasonable and we would certainly recommend Martins to those individuals needing house painting. I would also use them again as needed."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

The best time to paint your deck is when temperatures are neither too cold (below 60 degrees) nor too hot (above 85 degrees). Always paint your deck when there’s no risk of rain. For fast-drying paint like acrylic or latex, ensure your deck can dry for at least four hours. Oil-based paints take longer to dry and may require 48 hours to completely cure.

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.

If you have a smooth, already bonded concrete surface, painting a concrete pool deck can be a great way to brighten up the area and add longevity. If the surface has another covering or a different type of paint has been used previously, you won’t be able to paint it without removing the existing coating. Wooden decks benefit from painting as it helps to keep them watertight. Quality pool deck paints also help make the surface less slippery and less likely to gather mold and mildew or prematurely crack.

You’ll need to wait until the surface is completely dry, which can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours under optimal conditions. The waiting period depends on several factors, including the type of siding and the weather conditions. Trying to paint before the surface is completely dry can trap moisture under the paint, leading to bubbling, blistering, and mold growth.

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.
