"We had Leo and his crew repair and stain our deck a few years ago, and had them back to paint our main level - bedrooms, bathroom, living room, family room, kitchen, and laundry. They also removed and refinished popcorn ceilings. Besides doing a great job. The guys from High Rollers are just fun to have around the house."

Customers say: Super punctual

"We have an old, 1923, tiny "Model T" garage that's beat up but still structurally intact. A lot of people would tear it down but I like the small size and that it matches our house in design and materials. It had never been seriously stripped or painted since it was built but had half-assed coats of paint laid over the original peeling paint job with only cursory scraping. As a result, paint was flaking off it and into adjacent soils and walkways. Since my wife and I garden near the garage, we wanted the old paint completely removed from the garage (onto tarps where it could be properly disposed of), everything sanded down to the wood, repairs made, and the whole thing repainted. I used to work as a painting contractor (long ago). Back in the day, we heat-stripped paint off with heat-plates, sanded the clapboards and other surfaces (all while wearing respirators), filled cracks and sunk nail-heads, caulked, primed and painted. I personally stripped and sanded one side of the garage to show Bella Casa what I wanted. They were good communicators and managed to get us in just before freezing weather hit. Their carpenter was very good and very reasonably priced (about $700 of the total charge). He did all the aforementioned repairs to my satisfaction. Their stripping method, however, was insane. They had 4 guys manually pound away on the garage for multiple days with scrapper/hammers to manually knock the paint off onto tarps. They were neat about paint disposal but their method, put lots of tiny dents in the clapboards and the sanding job they did afterwards was very cursory, as was the job of filling cracks, sinking nail-heads and caulking. As a result, the side I stripped and sanded myself is the nicest one. I am told that heat-plates are no longer allowed by contractors in Minnesota ...but they could have used a modern plane/stripper motorized device and saved many days of labor. In retrospect, the owner warned me of the method he would use ...but, of the 3 angie's list contractors I had look at the job, Bella Casa was the only one who was willing to do complete stripping/paint-removal and they had high ratings, so I just sort of assumed they knew what they were doing. They didn't. I'd say my experience with Angie's list has been that you can find someone who isn't terrible or corrupt to do construction/building/painting work but many real artisans or super-skilled practitioners of home building and maintenance are often better found through word-of-mouth. I've seen much better paint removal, prep and repainting jobs in my neighborhood and (when I worked in the business in Boston) the company I worked for did much better work. Bella Casa is honest, friendly and definitely put in the hours ...but the method was a little crazy and the results were somewhat mediocre.

"We HIGHLY recommend Aaron and his awesome crew. Not only are they all great to work with, the work they performed (house, deck and trim paint) is impeccable. What tiny problems there were (the fault of the previous paint) they immediately fixed. We were out of town for a portion of the job, and our neighbors still talk about how pleasant and meticulous the crew was. I would hire Prime Painting Concepts for all our painting needs!"

Professional Cabinet Painting
Beautiful updated look of this mid century modern kitchen.  The previous handle Holes were filled before painting and the client chose these beautiful brushed brass handles to set off the simplicity of the doors and drawer style.

"We had our kitchen cabinets and all of the upstairs rooms painted, and the results were fantastic. They had great attention to detail and the cabinets have the finish I was looking for. The crew was professional, reliable, and kept everything clean throughout the project. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality painting work!"

"Allen gave me an in person quote for painting in my hallway and a guest room. When he was here he helped me go through all the paint left by the owners to determine if we could use it to save $. He arrived early and completed the work extremely well and very neatly. He went through everything to make sure I was happy. I have already hired him for another job."

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

Hiring a contractor or professional deck refinisher is the best way to ensure your deck is properly stained. They have the expertise, tools, and supplies to do the job quickly and efficiently. However, staining a deck is a manageable task for most homeowners, and doing the job yourself can save money. Just keep in mind that DIY staining is a long process requiring physical strain, so it may not be the best option for everyone.

When choosing between deck stain or paint, knowing what will last longer is important. Deck paint lasts longer than deck stain. With deck paint, you can get up to 10 years of coverage before you need to reapply. With deck stain, that time is significantly shorter at two to three years. 

Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years.

Apply a wood stain or sealant to properly maintain a wood deck railing and keep it looking new. Sealants protect wood from moisture and weathering. Regularly inspect the railing for loose screws, damaged balusters, and other signs of wear to make timely repairs. Routinely clean the railing using mild soap, water, and a soft bristle brush.

If you have a smooth, already bonded concrete surface, painting a concrete pool deck can be a great way to brighten up the area and add longevity. If the surface has another covering or a different type of paint has been used previously, you won’t be able to paint it without removing the existing coating. Wooden decks benefit from painting as it helps to keep them watertight. Quality pool deck paints also help make the surface less slippery and less likely to gather mold and mildew or prematurely crack.
