"When I met Leo of HighRollers Painting I hired him because I could sense his integrity. His crew was very kind, efficient, and helpful. They also stained my deck and painted the foundation of my house. The worst part of the ordeal was me having to pick the colors for the paint and stain. Leo’s estimate of what it would cost was in the ballpark of what I was willing to spend. I give Leo and his crew five stars for their service ."

"Found and repaired multiple issues in my home. It was great to have one person who could take care if everything. Painting, scraping ceilings, laying vinyl flooring. Replacing deck boards, cement work in 3 different applications, replaced thresholds on garage doors and repaired the repair on cracked shifting cement above the subgarage. Made my deck safe. Replaced some missing drywall in the basement. Great carpenter. Easy to talk to, consistently shows up and leaves things neat. Gets it done. Found some rot under my siding and came up with a good plan to seal it up and make it structurally sound again. Found during prep for exterior painting."

"Hired this company to help update my kitchen cabinets. The owner was very good to work with, very accommodating and the crew were amazing! They kept the areas around them cleaned up and respected the home. The cabinets turned out incredible. Very nice finish, they look like glass they are so perfect! Added 2 rooms to be painted which both were done timely and again clean and professional and last had them update our wood fence. Needed to be pressure washed, stained and sealed. Again a great job done. No complaints. Would highly recommend this company for any needs you are needing around the house. Hard to find professional, clean and all around good people and this company had it all! Will be using them again in the future."

"Steve, Greg and LouAnn were wonderful to work with and allowed me to make changes to my work proposal as I needed and wanted them to. Greg did an excellent job with all of the interior painting of walls and ceilings and all of the staining of the doors and trim. Never once did I doubt that I hired the right company for our undertaking!!"

"The painter started and finished on time and did a reasonably good job of cleaning up when he completed the job. I was disappointed in the amount of paint splatters I had to scrub off the floors, counter tops, tub and woodwork later that I thought should have been covered with a tarp."

"We needed post construction interior painting of the whole house. Brad was quick to respond, respectful, flexible in working with our schedule, fair in pricing and did an excellent job. Even after the project was done, he helped us out with post contractor fixes needed to the Sheetrock, etc. Would definitely use the services again and recommend to others!"

"The job was a bit expensive, but it's not a small house, though a neighbor is getting their house done by someone else for $1000 less. The house and trim look good, until you get really close. House color on trim edges that should be a different color. All over spray wasn't cleaned up well, no masking was done. Lots of paint on the driveway, in the grass and on the upper deck. Areas in the yard where brushes and equipment were cleaned, or where paint was spilled are now dead, I will have to reseed those areas when it gets cooler. For the most part we are satisfied, but attention to detail was lacking."

"Felipe and his crew did an excellent job. We were preparing our house for sale and Felipe was able to fit us into his schedule very quickly. We have a two level townhouse, approximately 2200 square feet. The job consisted of painting all interior walls and ceilings. There was also a fair amount of repair work to be completed and they did top notch work. The crew was courteous, worked hard and completed the job within the time frame we were quoted. The price was very competitive and they did excellent work. I would definitely use Kenwood Pro Painting again in the future."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.

Constant exposure to inclement weather conditions can damage your deck, causing it to fade, warp, or crack over time. Regular maintenance keeps it looking and performing its best. That means giving it a good cleaning and applying a quality sealant or wood treatment to help defend against moisture, sun damage, and everyday wear.

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

You’ll need to wait until the surface is completely dry, which can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours under optimal conditions. The waiting period depends on several factors, including the type of siding and the weather conditions. Trying to paint before the surface is completely dry can trap moisture under the paint, leading to bubbling, blistering, and mold growth.

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.
