"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."

"Todd and his crew did an excellent job. Our interior had not been repainted in over 20 years, so there was a great deal of patching and prep needed. We couldn't be happier- they were meticulous, and the house looks new again. We will be using Shelton Painting again in the spring for kitchen cabinet refinishing."

"Lane the owner and his team are exceptional -- prompt, thorough, conscientious, and professional. I've had several friends and relatives hire Eclipse to paint their homes, all of whom have been extremely satisfied with the company's outstanding work, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. This painting company is about than just painting your house - it's about the prep work that will make the job last, as well as the attention to detail that makes the finished product look spectacular. Our Craftsman-style 1916 stucco home and expansive cedar deck have never looked better. 5 Stars! Highly Recommended!"

"We had Hadley’s Paint repaint our entire interior because construction grade paint isn’t compatible with a basset hound. Todd did an absolutely amazing job and I love our washable walls!! 10/10 highly recommended!"

"Jamie gave us a couple options and we went with the pressure washing. He also came back and sanded areas that he did not charge us for. We had some issues with weather as far as getting it stained but he kept in touch with us and now the deck looks awesome. He did a great job at a very fair price and would highly recommend him."
Before
The paint was in pretty rough shape.
The polyurethane has darkened over the years. You can see where pictures were hung.
Quite a bit of scraping on the lower portions of the porch trim.
Fence is in good shape, but heavily greyed by the sun

"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.

"Tired of my 30 yr old oak cabinets. I opted to have them painted vs spending thousands more on new or resurfaced. Andres and Mario did a great job in transforming my drab brown cabinets into a more updated white color that makes my kitchen look bigger and brighter. I am very happy with the outcome and I would recommend their services to anyone."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

By applying protective finishes and using durable materials that withstand weather and time.

Yes, it's a good idea to sand the wall with fine-grit sandpaper after spackling, especially if you plan on painting. You can do this by hand or using a sander, but the idea is to ensure the spackle is flush with the wall. Sanding will give your wall a smooth, uniform finish and help your paint and wallpaper stay put.

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.

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. 

You can paint over old paint on a concrete porch. For the best results, you should first clean the surface and remove as much paint as you can. A power washer is helpful here, but you’ll also want to scrape as much of the old paint away as possible. Then you should prime the porch before repainting it.
