"Jordan was very professional and took the job on late in the painting season; other painters either never showed up or their estimate was a â few thousandâ more for the same work! The job was completed ahead of time."

"My wife and I received 5 bids for our deck refinishing project. We asked for a detailed statement of work, and Costas provided us with a thorough and comprehensive list, and he won our business. He is professional, prompt, readily reachable, practical, and knowledgeable. We value his advice. He has a good team, and the work was completed on schedule, and the attention and care to detail is exemplary. We are 100% satisfied with the result, and will work with True North again."

"I had some concerns and reservations about hiring Extreme Painting given the short time they had been doing this business. I was very please with the professionalism of Craig and his team throughout the project. The results were nothing but quality work on the shutters, deck framing and metal spiral stairs when the project was completed. I highly recommend Extreme Painting for any outside painting project."

"My project has just started. So far, I'm extremely impressed. The owner came out to give me an estimate, and discuss what I wanted for my home exterior staining. Very professional, courteous, and honest. The first stage of washing my home to prepare for staining was also impressive. The foreman who is overseeing the project arrived, and again reviewed everything that will take place. The crew then cleaned my home in only 2 hours! Again very impressive. Prior to leaving, they neatly stacked all the ladders that they used completely out of the way, which is even more important to me because I have a large dog on a run who loves to get into trouble with new objects in the yard. So far, I'm extremely happy with Northern Ridge and highly recommend them."

"After 2 bad experiences with painting jobs over the years, we had given up hope of having a beautiful home exterior. I am so glad we found ECE. They were fantastic. They knew what our house needed -- mainly, a thorough and professional prepping, which we had not gotten before. They took their time to make sure it was done properly, including carpentry to replace old boards. They even worked with the paint store to make sure we got the exact color we wanted. I would recommend them without hesitation."

"Levi and his crew painted our entire downstairs when we redid our kitchen. They did the baseboard, ceilings, and all the way up the stairs. They fixed the cracks in the walls and did such a great job. I highly recommend him. My cat, who likes to the be the center of attention, got a lot of entertainment from the painters and he (the cat) even got a Christmas card from Levi that year!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.

Here's the deal with leaving used rags covered in oil-based stain lying around in a pile: Depending on the conditions, these rags can take just an hour or up to a few days to combust. The source of ignition is caused by trapped heat that can be compounded if the rags are near a heat source.
