"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 ."

"Our little roofed deck/porch was badly in need of restraining. We had done it ourselves in the past, but just didn't feel up to it this year. Left a couple of message with contractors, and Monarch was the only one who returned our call. Hunter came on a Sunday morning to look at the deck, explained their process and emailed us an estimate. He had told us they were booked until September so when September was half over I called to check in. He said we were on the schedule for the next week or so. We were actually out of town when they came, and the deck was done when we returned.
It looks nice except for a number of spots that are still shiny and a bit tacky to the touch. Not sure if they'll fade as the stain continues to weather. So it isn't perfect, but we're generally pretty satisfied, and the price was very fair.

"We were very pleased with Brian's work in our new home! We had him remove some wallpaper and do a complete paint job of 2 bedrooms, the living room, and bathroom. I appreciated his communication throughout the process, as some of the walls and ceilings needed a little extra care due to some stains from moisture and nicotine. He left the space neat and tidy when he was done. He knows his stuff and I would not hesitate to hire him again as we continue to work on our home!"

"We specifically joined Angie's List so we could find a good painter and it worked!  We got bids from four top-rated companies and decided to go with Bella Casa Painting.  Their bid was in the middle of the pack.   Alan and Roger were very easy to work with.  Roger did a fine job on repairing woodpecker holes and rotted siding and fixing sagging soffits.  It had been 13 years since the house was last painted and we were very concerned that the prep work - scrapping, sanding, caulking, filling, and priming - be done thoroughly because that's fundamental to having a long-lasting paint job.  Alan gave us confidence that they would do a good job on the prep and painting and we were not disappointed.  He recommended a new Sherwin Willilams paint (Emerald) that has a top rating for longevity, and he painted sections of our siding so we could confirm that the three colors we chose would be to our liking.  Because he had to power wash the house anyway, he did our deck for free.  He and Roger also installed new exterior lights for us at no cost.  The painting crew was low-key, polite, efficient, and cleaned up at the end of every day.  We needed to have our house painted in time for visiting relatives, and Bella Casa met our deadline.  Alan gave us a long list of houses to look at so we could see examples of their work and they confirmed the good quality work that Bella Casa does.  He also had no problem showing us the paperwork that confirmed Bella Casa workers are properly insured.  In summary, Bella Casa did a great job and we are very pleased. It's been 3 months since they completed the job and we have not had any need to call them back for any touch-ups.

"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."

"We were so pleased both with the carpentry crew that replaced the siding on the back of the garage and the painters. Victor and his crew worked very hard and were always personable, even at the end of a long day. They told us when to expect them to arrive and how late they planned to work. There were a couple of things I pointed out that I wanted to make sure they did and they completed them all! I would recommend them to others looking for exterior painting."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, they provide design insights that enhance space utility and visual appeal.

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.

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.

The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage. 

No, you don't need to stain Ipe decking, although you can if you want to change the color. You will, however, need to apply a UV coating if you don't want the natural color to fade. Speak to a deck staining specialist near you to discuss the best options if you want to stain your decking. And remember that you’ll need to seal your Ipe wood deck annually to protect it from scratches and Mother Nature.
