"Jose and his crew were wonderful to work with. They were very professional and finished the job in 3 days (7 rooms and 2 hallways), walls, ceilings and trim. They made sure the job was done to my satisfaction. I would highly recommend Advancepro for any painting job."

"Kenny and his team did an exceptional job painting a few rooms and walls in a new house my family and I are moving into. The painting project consisted of 3 rooms and an accent wall. His team arrived promptly and got right to work. Overall, extremely satisfied with the finished product, quality of work, and price. I would consider hiring them again for their services on future projects."

"Contractor provided a free estimate. He scheduled the work and started on time. Contractor scraped old paint, caulked and replaced rotted wood before painting. Contractor also replaced screens on back porch. Contractor showed up on time, answered all questions happily and left area sparking clean each day before leaving. The painting job was fantastic. I am very pleased and would enthusiastically recommend this company."

"From the president to the crew that did the actual painting we couldn’t be happier. They arrived on time for the initial appointment to provide the cost estimate and for every day the work was scheduled. They patiently and thoroughly answered all questions. The job was painting of the exterior house and their recommendations for prep work and paint to use proved to be very good. As the work was being done some additions were made and they readily accommodated them. The production manager, work crew supervisor and the entire work crew were friendly and had a real can do attitude. They wanted to do a good job and the result is outstanding. We will hire them again for other painting projects. had a real can do attitude. The outcome was excellent. We will hire them again"

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage. 

Yes, staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan, typically by five to 10 years. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and rot over time. Applying a treatment creates a protective shield that helps prevent splintering, fading, and decay, preserving the wood's strength and appearance. A combination stain and sealer often provides the best protection, as it soaks into the wood grain rather than just sitting on top. This offers superior defense against UV damage and rot and lasts longer than a sealer alone. To maintain the wood's natural look, consider using a near-translucent stain. You should plan to reapply the stain or sealer every two to three years.

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.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

Yes, you can paint galvanized chain link, but the process is a bit more difficult as it requires additional prep work. Before applying the primer and paint, you must remove the original coating from the metal, which can be time-consuming. If the original coating is not removed, the primer and paint will not bond properly and cause peeling over time.
