"C& Painting is a family owned business and is outstanding. They stained the siding of our redwood house, painted all of the windows on the outside and stain the top and bottom of a large raised deck. They were always on time with a smile and a happy demeanor all day long. The preparation for staining and painting was done with particular care to use the best products that were compatible with the various stains and paints and was meticulously done paying attention to every detail. By the way, none of the windows were painted shut. Five stars is not enough to describe this very special painting company. The owner and his wife are very talented and the job was fairly priced. I would not hesitate to use them again for any painting job."

"They did a fantastic job on my large 2 level deck! They were very careful not to get stain on the patio underneath or the new siding on the house! We were so pleased with their professionalism and attention to detail that we also had them pain the entire main level of our house, walls and ceiling. Again, a beautiful, careful and professional job from prep to finishing touches! They also removed a decorative column that has plagued me for years and you would never know it was there now. I plan to hire them again for future jobs in our home. Excellent!!"

"Stan and his team are just "Outstanding". On time to job and worked to schedule for completion . Their attention to detail and prep and staining was as good as I have every seen. His bid for services was very competitive. I just can not say enough about his power washing of my home, gutters, deck and gazebo and the subsequent re-staining of my deck and gazebo. I not only recommend Stan's Home Improvements to others I look forward to contracting with him for other services myself. One Happy Camper!"

"I had a great experience with Miguel Team LLC. for my deck staining project. The team was professional, punctual, and very detail-oriented. They took the time to properly prepare the deck and ensured the stain was applied evenly, which made a huge difference in the final result. My deck now looks refreshed and beautifully finished. They also kept the work area clean and communicated clearly throughout the process. I truly appreciate the quality of their work and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and high-quality deck staining services."

"Spiro and Dionysius had previously power washed the exterior of my home prior to painting. Because they did an excellent job I asked them to also wash the bluestone. I had been reluctant to wash this area because bluestone is soft and can be easily damaged. I was delighted at the care they took. The area looks great.

"A Facebook Referral with pictures of cabinets and kitchen taped and plastic-sheeted is what prompted my call. Scott Sheldon gave me an estimate, it was the 2nd lowest. He explained that the cabinets would be sprayed. Walt, the painter, was punctual and very professional. After 5 days, the cabinets looked wonderful, however there were 3 different surfaces, the doors were sprayed-some of it silky smooth, some of it gritty, the cabinet frames were brushed, silky smooth, but with brush marks visible, and the large expanses of flat sides of the cabinets were roller painted which yielded an orange-peel surface. We did get a partial refund after I requested an adjustment. My advice, be sure to inquire how the cabinets would be painted. IF you can afford it, refacing would've looked better."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.

An exterior paint job typically lasts between 5 and 10 years, though this can range from 3 to 17 years depending on several factors. The longevity is influenced by the quality of the paint and primer, the quality of the application, the local climate, and the type of surface being painted. For example, paint on wood siding may need to be redone every 3 to 7 years, while painted brick can last up to 17 years. Aluminum siding often needs repainting every 5 years.

Yes, many repair services include repainting to match the color of the existing siding or walls. Most professionals offer this service to ensure the repaired area blends in seamlessly.

Limewash and whitewash do not harm surfaces if you apply them correctly. Use on non-suitable surfaces can cause issues. For instance, applying limewash or whitewash to surfaces with existing sealants or incompatible materials may lead to poor adhesion or flaking. Also, harsh cleaning agents on limewashed or whitewashed surfaces can damage the finish. Proper preparation, application, and maintenance ensure that limewash and whitewash do not harm surfaces.

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.
