"Revel power-washed our entire house, painted all the exterior trim and garage doors, and stained our deck, all in under two days. All surfaces were scraped and prepped before painting. They even matched the color of our siding when buying paint for the garage doors. Crew members were very friendly and professional. Highly recommended!"

"Profession team painted the second level exterior trim of our farm house about to go up for sale. Much time spent on the details of scraping, priming, caulking, painting. Gave us the better price of three bids. Uniform, on time, masked all landscape. I have referred them to our realtor because I would absolutely hire them again."

"Ivan was great to work with. We had him replace siding and all windows, paint outside, a new front door, paint all walls and ceilings inside, replace counter-tops, paint cabinets and trim, remove an interior wall and bar, replace all sinks, add new lighting plus numerous small projects. He checked in daily to make sure the work was getting done properly. We encountered some delays (much of which was out of his control) but he always did everything in his power to make things right. He was willing to do whatever it took to make us happy. He treated us with integrity and the prices were very reasonable. We love the new look to the house and would definitely use him again"

"Mike was easy to work with. When I first contacted him he got back to me right away and even came for a bid on the weekend. Due to a family medical issue we didn't end up doing the work until 9 months later. When I reached back out to him to schedule the job, he honored the same bid and scheduled the work without too much wait time. He showed up on time and did all the work requested. There are a few minor spots where the painter who was trimming touched the ceiling but it not very noticeable. They did things like remove the banister and outlet covers, painted and put them back on. He also gets the paint and takes care of that so all you need to do is pick out the colors. I would use him again. The only work I did was to remove the pictures from the wall. He also patched up the nail holes. I thought the price was very fair especially since I have a tall ceiling, and also since doing a kitchen paint job is a pain, painting around and under cabinets. (which is why we hired it out!) Nice job and finished in one day, two guys working. It was outstanding to me to leave for work and return home to the work done and cleaned up. Well worth the investment. My house looks very nice. He is also easy to work with via email. I liked that. Didn't have to wait and play phone tag, after the initial bid we communicated via email and it worked well.

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.

There’s no single paint that’s the most waterproof. Instead, there are several types of waterproof and water-resistant paints that suit different purposes. Epoxy paint, for instance, is commonly used to provide a waterproof coating to floors and decks. Masonry paint is an excellent choice for exterior walls. Meanwhile, there are waterproof acrylic paints that can be used for interior and exterior walls. It’s more about choosing the best type for what you’re painting instead of the most waterproof paint overall.

If you have the time and the budget, we strongly recommend staining your fence, especially if it's looking a bit tired or hasn't been treated recently. While you may not see the same return on investment (ROI) as you would with a project like a kitchen remodel, staining a fence is one of the best ways to add a facelift to your property—a new fence stain adds serious curb appeal to your home. 

If it rains after you paint your fence, you may need to apply another coat of paint after the fence thoroughly dries. This will ensure a good seal if the rain weakened any areas of the paint. However, if your paint had enough time to dry thoroughly before it rained, you should have no problem.

A five-gallon bucket of deck stain will cover roughly 875 square feet in a single coat. Actual coverage will vary based on the type of wood you’re staining and the number of coats. If you plan on doing multiple coats, multiply the square footage by the number of coats to calculate how many buckets of stain you’ll need.
