"Spiro's Painting did a lovely job, and the porch now looks pristine and clean. Moreover, we no longer have to worry about the exposed wood on the posts and soffits as a result of peeling paint. There were a few hiccups with scheduling, but the team was efficient, tidy, and true to their word about the length of the job. I would definitely add our voice to so many others in recommending Spiro's Painting, and we'll certainly reach out to them in the future if we have other painting projects."

"Below is the information I sent to the production team today (Tuesday November 3, 2020) and the salesman. It sums up how things went. Greetings Andrew, Sam, As we close out this process, I want to go on record with my concerns regarding the work done, as I have had the opportunity to inspect everywhere that was painted. Here are all the things observed that will be noted in my review. 1. Painter painted back and side splashes of vanities in bathroom on first floor. Even after doing touch up, he removed the paint, and then instead of putting painters tape on the vanity, he repainted the walls in the bathroom, put white caulk on the vanity when I originally had clear caulking, and repainted it. I even wrote in spanish what needed to be done, and provided it to the painter and it was still done incorrectly. I am extremely disappointed about this as now I have to incur additional costs to have the paint removed, the walls repainted, and the clear caulking put around the vanity. This is most annoying as it is the bathroom guests use when they enter my townhome. 2. There is paint in many unexpected places. The painters took the wall plates off the socket receptacles and light switches, which makes perfect sense. But why did they paint the actual receptacles and some of the switches. I indicated to Sam I was replacing the wall plates, not the actual receptacles. Now I will have to replace them as well. There is paint on many cords, not clear why they did not just unplug them, particularly the lights. I left them in so they could see. There is paint on the inside of one of the hand railings on the stairway which suggests sloppiness. The painters did not put painter's tape around the railing. There is paint on the curtain rod hooks affixed to the wall. I can see painting nails, but the curtain rods? There is paint on my wooden doors, and on windows. 3. Despite indicating in an email to Andrew, and telling the woman who called me on Wednesday October 28, 2020 that I was not available until after 3pm on Thursday October 29th , the painter showed up to do the touch ups at 8:30am on Thursday, right before my video meeting. He indicated that he was not informed by you of the time he should come. That was unprofessional. The painter ended up coming back the next day (Friday) to do the touch ups. 4. The painter had considerable difficulty taking down the blinds in the kitchen, because they had put them up incorrectly when they originally did the painting. In fact, the painter wanted to just paint around the blinds. I told him no. Not only did the painters put the blinds up incorrectly, but they also did not wait until the paint dried before putting it up, which messed up the work. Also, because the blinds were not put back up correctly, one of the strings popped resulting in the blinds not laying properly now."

"J.H. Painting Services did great exterior work on my home this weekend. I had exterior siding and deck power washed, front door painted, and brick foundation painted. All work was done at a high level of quality and in a timely manner. Communication for planning each of the tasks easy and reliable. Contractor arrived on time. I highly recommend for power washing and paint jobs."

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

The process of painting or staining a fence typically takes between one and five days. The total duration depends on factors like the size of the fence, weather conditions, and necessary drying times. A significant portion of this time is for drying, as stain won't properly absorb into wet wood. You should wait 24 hours to stain a fence after washing it and allow 12 to 24 hours of drying time between each coat. The active work time is generally about one hour for every 10 to 20 linear feet of fencing.

A dry lawn is easier to edge than a wet one. When your ground is wet, your blades will likely clump together, making a seemingly even cut while wet, but an uneven disaster when dried. Also, a wet lawn can impact your blade's performance and cause mud to kick up, resulting in a messy finish.

Typically, a fence requires one to two coats of stain. The exact number can vary depending on the porosity of the wood. For specific guidance, it's best to check the manufacturer's instructions. After applying the first coat and letting it dry completely, you can assess the finish. If it appears patchy, uneven, or you want a more saturated color, a second coat is recommended. An extra coat can also help cover lap marks.

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.
