Customers say: Quick response

"I recently bought a house and hired Glen to repaint almost the entire interior and I'm so glad I did! He was very prompt and efficient, from the day I set up the consultation appointment until he finished the job (early). He was friendly, helpful, and did really great work. Glen and his crew put in long days to get the entire house repainted in only 4 days so that we could get moved in sooner. Every room in our house looks amazing and he really went above and beyond what we expected. I can't recommend Glen highly enough and will definitely be calling him again for any future painting work we need done."

"I had drywall repair work done and couldn’t be happier with the results. Christian was professional, punctual, and paid great attention to detail. The damaged area was repaired seamlessly, and you can’t even tell there was ever an issue. He kept the work area clean and completed the job in a timely manner. The quality of the workmanship exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend his services to anyone needing drywall repairs!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

You don’t necessarily have to remove all the old paint before repainting your deck, but it’s best to remove as much as possible to ensure a smooth and long-lasting finish. Prioritize scraping off loose, peeling, or flaking paint, and sand down rough areas to create a smooth surface for the new paint to bond with.

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.

Always sand a deck before repainting so the wood is smooth and ready for paint. While you do not need to fully remove paint before repainting, sanding helps remove any areas with weather and sun damage. Sanding also helps remove chipped or flaking paint and opens the wood pores to improve paint adhesion.

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.

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.
