"Ethan came to my house to give me a quote to paint a section of my house that was difficult to reach. I accepted the quote. He arrived within a few days with the proper equipment and did the job. He also went beyond the expected task and cut some limbs from a nearby tree - no additional charge! He did a thorough job. Ethan is blessed with a pleasant nature and a Godly spirit. You’ll never regret calling him to help you."

"They were able to paint my trim a week earlier, which was great. They cleared a lot of weeds, moved obstacles, and taped off areas not to be painted. I am very happy with the results."

"David was incredibly responsive and had great customer service. He cares about the customer being satisfied with the job. The deck turned out very nice. (note: I was a tiny bit worried about the painter diluting the stain (oil based) with water but it seems this is something that's sometimes done when using a sprayer. I do wish it was diluted with mineral based solution vs water but everything seemed to turn out well and I'm happy with my deck)"

"Great job. Took advantage of their 2 painters for 8 hours $399 deal. The guys were right on time and did a very good job. No runs or drips and they applied 2 coats of paint. There was 5 windows and 2 doors to work around and no paint on the stained trim."

"Response time for them to come out and estimate was very quick.   Estimate was the lowest we had received by quite a bit.   Painters were courteous.  I was home during the first day of painting and they were very respectful of the home and our things.   They covered up and taped off surfaces.   They made sure I like the colors after they were applied.   Very fast work and it looks amazing.

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Satin paint is generally considered a better choice for woodwork—including trim, baseboards, cabinets, and doors—than flatter finishes like eggshell or matte. Its soft sheen enhances architectural details and stands up well to frequent cleaning and daily wear. Compared to eggshell and matte finishes, satin is more durable for high-touch areas because it is less porous and doesn't absorb dirt as easily. Matte finishes, in particular, are prone to scuffs and are harder to clean, making them less practical for surfaces like doors and cabinets.

The plastic in composite decking boards protects them enough that you do not need to paint them to prevent warping. In fact, painting composite decking voids the warranty of some manufacturers. Painting can also increase maintenance on the deck, as you must paint regularly to keep it looking its best.

Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint. 

A properly applied coat of stain will last between 3 and 8 years, depending on your climate. If you live in a place where your fence experiences a lot of moisture or high heat, your stain will last for a shorter period than in more temperate conditions. We recommend reapplying stain every 3 to 5 years to keep your wood in good condition.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.
