"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."

"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

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

You can refresh a painted deck by either giving it a thorough cleaning or refinishing the deck altogether. Chipped or faded paint, as well as extensive damage, often calls for a new finish. To do this, remove the original coat of paint with a sander and add either a new coat of paint or a stain to protect the wood below.

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.

The staining or painting process involves cleaning the deck, sanding surfaces, applying a primer (if needed), and carefully applying stain or paint for an even, lasting finish.
