"We bought a house whose maintenance had been neglected over the years. The smell inside the house was bad and we knew that the whole inside of the house would need to be repainted. The original painter we hired backed out at the last minute and we needed to find a reputable painter immediately. Turned to Home Advisor and found several that were listed. Looked at reviews and decided to contact Bill Searle Painting. We are so glad that we did! Bill and his crew came in on short notice and repainted the whole inside of the house, including the doors! The bad smell was almost gone (completely gone after floors were redone). The paint job they did was absolutely fantastic and we cannot say enough about how great of a job they did. We also hired them to power wash the outside of the house and to stain the front deck of the house. Their work is outstanding! They impressed our son and his family enough to hire them to paint the inside of their home. We will have some other projects to do next year and we plan to contact Bill and have him come back to do the work. Do not hesitate to contact Bill if you need any painting or staining work that needs to be done!"

"We hired Eric from Ray's Painting. Oh, my word, he was completely thorough, very polite, and couldn't have done a better job. He even reworked two areas that didn't satisfy him. Our house looks like the siding and trim was just installed. I would recommend him to anyone."
"i give this company my highest rating. If I could give give more than 5 stars I would. He is THE CONSUMMATE PROFESSIONAL. Mr L*** is very obvious in his perfectionism. I don't know about anyone reading this review, but when I have someone working in and on my home, I want someone who is a perfectionist. On time, thorough, honest, professional, clean, courteous, . I will use them again and will recommend them to all my friends and family. I cannot say enough about how careful he is. I would hire him again and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU HIRE HIM FOR DRYWALL WORK AND PAINTING. For details about our experience, please read further. We had 2 areas that needed drywall repair, and repainting. An 18" wide x floor to celling part of the living room wall which was saturated from the water dam leak. And the back room that had needed insulation in the ceiling and walls to make it comfortable to live in. The insulation company had to tear off the ceiling to insulate under the roof deck. We needed new drywall. Mr L***'s quote was reasonable. He was careful with our floors and other surfaces. He placed drop cloths on the floors and cautioned his employees to be extra careful when stepping off the drop cloths to be sure they did not have anything on the bottom of their shoes that they could track into the other rooms. I saw them all doing that throughout the time they were working in our house. He draped our furniture in the living room when it came time to spray the texture on the wall and created a tent around that area . One day, he wanted to get the drywall taped & mudded so it could dry overnight. He asked if he could work into the evening. I didn't have a problem with that, and said yes. He worked until 9:30! That wall had been so wet from the water leak that the water remediation team had to pull out the insulation and the backer board that is directly in back of the exterior wall sheathing. Mr L*** not only had to replaced the drywall, he replaced the cement backer board inside the wall, replaced insulation, AND THEN replaced the drywall. Our house is 70 years old and the design in those days was not a sharp right angle between the wall & ceiling. The wall does a gentle curve up into the ceiling. He did such a perfect repair, you cannot tell where he did the repair. Perfection!!! I knew that we would not be able to match the paint color, (the previous owner had not left any paint) so I had him add painting the room. He graciously said he could do that, and quoted me a reasonable price. The room looks so nice and inviting, he even helped us choose the color, Then they hung the drywall ceiling in the back room, That quote included painting the ceiling and when we all realized that the walls would need painting, he quoted me a great price for that. The room is awesome. And then, on the day he was finishing, I had an electric company adding some additional outlets in the living room and they knocked a hole in the wall approx 8 " wide x 12" high. Not exactly the small rectangle for the outlet. They told me they were not responsible and would not pay to have it fixed. Mr L*** looked at the hole and said he could fit it into his schedule the next day if I was flexible on time. He showed up the next day and repaired that hole and now you cannot tell where it was. You will not be sorry if you hire GRPainting Pro."
Adding a second coat of stain to wood can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.
You can only change your neighbor's fence with their permission. A neighbor's fence is their property, and altering it without their consent could constitute trespassing or property damage, which may have legal consequences. If you have concerns or disagreements about your neighbor's fence, communicate with them openly and try to reach a mutually agreeable solution. If you believe the fence violates local zoning laws or property regulations, consult with local authorities or seek legal advice to address the issue through proper channels.
DIY is possible with proper tools and knowledge, but professionals can ensure even application and high-quality results, saving time and hassle.
Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.
Yes, many fence repair services include finishing treatments like sanding, priming, repainting, coating, and rust treatment. These services help restore the fence's original appearance, protect it from corrosion, and enhance its aesthetic appeal. However, since offerings can vary by provider, it is best to confirm what is included before scheduling the work.
