"He was very punctual and was here even 5-10 minutes earlier than he said. Very good at providing all details of the job in advance as well as updating me throughout everything. Very detailed, great communication, and great clean up at the end!"

"Tyler with just walls was one of the lower bids we had to paint our new home walls and some pillars, along with staining our doors. He was also the most curteous and responsive to our desires. I also appreciate how kind he was to my daughter and fiancee. I will use them again for any future jobs."

"It was great to work with a good owner-operator like Richard. He painted the entire interior of our house and garage - a big job - and was always on time and spot-on with his staging as we continued to live in the house. He made a great suggestion on our paint color, solving our biggest concern on getting our house ready for sale. What really blew me away was his creative handling of some special issues I had including water stains and other issues that had accumulated over my 27 years in this home. I would highly recommend Richard for any painting job."

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

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.

The longevity of paint on wood depends on factors like the quality of the paint, surface preparation, exposure to elements, and maintenance. Exterior paint on wood surfaces can last 5 to 15 years or more with proper care and maintenance. Interior paint tends to have a longer life span, often 10 years or more. Regular cleaning, touch-ups, and addressing any issues like peeling or cracking can extend the life of the paint. 

Moisture and rot are the largest threat to wooden fences. Stain can help your wood fence last 15 to 20 years, but only if you choose a stain with waterproofing qualities or add a sealant. Oil-based stains create a thicker moisture barrier than water-based stains, though both are mold and mildew resistant. You’ll generally need to re-stain your fence every one to eight years to get full protection.

Yes, you can paint a chain-link fence, but you don’t want to use spray paint. With the spray method, you’ll be losing a majority of your product to the air, given the size of the gaps in chain-link fences. Instead, use a paintbrush for your fence posts and a paint roller for the wire.

Pricing depends on prep work, paint/stain choice, area size, scaffolding needs, and detailed trim inclusions like precision-balanced windowsills.
