"Professional painting with a quick response time, attention to detail, and a fair price. Victor and Edwin painted my house to prepare for market and did a beautiful job. They walked through the house with me, gave a fair quote; and did the work the same day. Highly recommend. Top notch customer service and communication and superior quality work."

"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."

"Project of demo old deck and build a new to the same plan did not get started until late November. There were periodic weeks during the winter that did not allow for any work. The company owner/manager(Ivan) kept us informed of the status. The quality of workmanship was very good and followed the city inspection. Project that was over 15K came in at the bid price."

"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

Most gutter painting pros also specialize in complete home exterior painting. You may save by making your gutter painting part of the cost to paint the exterior of a house in its entirety. Many people have all parts of their home exterior painted simultaneously to keep everything looking equally fresh. Consider having walls, trim, porches, shutters, and doors painted as well.

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths

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.
