Customers say: Super punctual

"Everything went great.  I have zero complaints!  They did an excellent job and I am happy with it every time I look at the house.  This is not something that, as avid DIYers, we are able to say often!   Since the completion of the job, I have had several friends and neighbors ask me for painting recommendations.  These friends and neighbors have gone on to hire Bella Casa for both exterior and interior projects.  Each was as happy as we were with the service and quality.  I always follow up on recommendations to make sure the company continues to provide the quality I experienced and they have each and every time.  We had one neighbor who did not choose Bella Casa after getting bids.  They ended up not being very happy with the work that was done for them by the other company.  I refrained from saying "I told you so"  but....

Bella Casa was not the lowest bid we received.  In fact of the three we got, it was the highest.  However, it was also the most detailed and complete, included the carpentry work that was going to be necessary and we were confident that there would be no surprises in the final cost.  We were right.  The lowest bidder is not always the best way to go.  Sometimes, you get what you pay for!  Bella Casa was easy to work with, kept us constantly informed of the project, everyone was professional and friendly, and there were no surprises about what was or was not included in the bid.  They were also very patient and understanding as we struggled to choose the colors.  The back of our house looked like a patchwork quilt by the time we made our choices!  We will hire them again and we continue to send our friends to them."

"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!"

"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!"

"Dean recently painted my home. He was professional, timely, and did a great job. He communicated effectively and touched base on the progress frequently. He made sure that things were tidied up at the end of each day. He also scrapped and repainted two rooms ceilings in my home earlier this year, and he completed the job as good as he did the outside. I will be calling Durahome for my future painting needs."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Ideally, it's best to stain your dock once per year. Applying stain doesn't just keep it looking nice and new; it also helps extend the dock’s lifespan. Since you want to ensure water levels are at their lowest, it's best to have this project done by a professional dock repair service in the cooler autumn or early winter months. 

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.

You don’t necessarily have to remove all the old paint before repainting your deck, but it’s best to remove as much as possible to ensure a smooth and long-lasting finish. Prioritize scraping off loose, peeling, or flaking paint, and sand down rough areas to create a smooth surface for the new paint to bond with.

Rags used with oil-based stains are highly flammable and can spontaneously combust in the right conditions. To reduce the fire risk, throw them in a metal container after use and add rocks on top to secure them. Add an inch of water and seal the container. Take the rags in the container to a hazardous waste factory as soon as possible.

Yes, you can waterproof any wood that has not already been treated. A good way to test this is to splash some water on it. If the water starts to bead up, the wood is treated and most likely doesn’t need another coating.
