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!"

"Excellent job. Employee Jerron did an excellent job. He was on time, efficient and courteous. Gave an excellent/reasonable price. There were several holes in my wall which he patched and painted which cannot even tell the areas have been patched. Paint color was matched perfectly. He was here for less hand four hours. Cleaned up behind himself and there we no paint droppings on the floor. Found a new painter for all home painting and repairs!! MM Detroit"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

The staining or painting process involves cleaning the deck, sanding surfaces, applying a primer (if needed), and carefully applying stain or paint for an even, lasting finish.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

For the longest-lasting exterior paint, consider acrylic or enamel (oil-based) paints. Acrylic paints, including acrylic latex and acrylic enamel, are known for withstanding harsh weather and sun exposure. Enamel-based paints are also one of the most durable options available. While latex paint is common, it typically has a shorter lifespan than acrylic or oil-based options. The paint's finish also affects its durability; a higher gloss finish is generally more durable. For resistance to moisture and cracking, matte and satin finishes can be effective, while a high-gloss acrylic or oil-based paint offers a combination of maximum longevity and durability.

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.

Oxygen bleach uses hydrogen peroxide as a base and won’t harm wood when using it as a cleaner. On the other hand, chlorine bleach breaks down wood at the cellular level and causes irreversible harm. Although you may not see immediate damage to wood after exposing it to chlorine bleach, its strength and integrity are now compromised.
