"I needed my house and garage painted. It was completed within the time frame I was given. The quality was really good and I got it completed for less then what I was expecting to pay to get this done. He was very professional and worked within my requested hours as to not interfere with my day to day activities. I didn't like the initial color I chose when I asked to change it he didn't hesitate to help me pick a new color."

"Jon and his crew were great. Our house looks incredible and we get so many comments about it. I have since heard what other people were charged by other companies to have their houses painted, and Jon is by far the best priced. We are having him come back next summer to paint the trim on our garage."

"We did hire this business and they did a good job. They miscalculated a bit on price and we aren't totally sure the areas around the chimney are fixed (we need a hard rain). The workers were excellent, worked hard and long hours, never bothered us at all and cleaned up very well after themselves."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Whether to paint or stain a deck depends on your personal preference for appearance and budget. Stain provides a natural look with a range of undertones, is typically less expensive, and may only require one coat, but it does not last as long as paint. Paint offers a sleeker finish with a virtually unlimited color palette. Both options will protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear.

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.

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. 

The best exterior paint for the job of painting your front porch depends on the material you’ll be painting. Acrylic paint is often recommended for a wooden porch as it’s durable and easy to apply. If your porch is made of concrete, you’ll need to find a formula suited to that material.

It’s a good idea to sand your porch before painting. This will remove loose or chipped paint and debris, and give you a cleaner surface so that your new paint goes on smoothly. But if the existing surface is in good condition, it’s not necessary to sand your porch before you paint.
