"Shelton Painting did a great job! The estimate was accurate, the work was done quickly, the workers were prompt and the area in question was kept clean. The end result smells and looks like a new basement!"

"Once again, Harold did a fantastic job. Never any complaints with his excellent service. He returns your call the same day, sets up appointment for estimate and arrives to start painting when he says he will. What would have taken my husband four days to paint, Harold did in a few hours. Beautiful job, Harold. Thank you!"

"Jamie did a great job! I had a large deck and porch that is due for staining. Jamie responded very quickly after I quoted the job through Angieslist and came for a bid in a week. He answered my questions politely and professionally. His bid price was also very reasonable. I wanted it done as soon as possible but he explained to me that it's better to wait till weather's warm enough. And he'd already got plenty other jobs. So we scheduled for July. Then one month ahead of the schedule, he contact me if I wanted it done earlier. Of course I did. So he came and did a great job. He power-washed carefully and thoroughly. He even sanded quite some places though it was not included in the contract. For the staining, he carefully covered all underneath area and stayed away from the siding. He stained all railing and spindles very carefully and then the floor. I really appreciate his dedicated work and would definitely recommend him to my friends and hire him again for any other painting job."

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

"They were absolutely fantastic. It wasn't just a painting job. There was a significant amount of carpentry done. I would recommend them to anyone. It involved scraping and priming. They did beautiful work. This report is based on interview with the member."

"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!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Opt for an interior wood stain that is rated for your type of wood. Consider your personal style preferences as well as the overall use of the room when choosing a color. Remember, the color you see at the store may look different on your actual floors once applied. This is why if you have the chance, it’s helpful to test a few options on a scrap piece of wood in the room first. Once you narrow it down, you can test a small patch on an inconspicuous area in the room to see it on the actual floors.

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.

Many decking oils can help slow down algae growth, but they don't completely stop it. These oils work by sealing the wood, which reduces moisture and, therefore, algae growth. Some decking oils also help protect against UV damage, but they need to be reapplied according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the decking stays protected.

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.

For homes in areas with extreme weather, high heat, or intense sun exposure, high-quality acrylic paint is the best option. Acrylic paint is durable, resistant to both heat and cold, and provides a protective barrier with excellent UV resistance. For best results, look for acrylics that contain natural earth pigments, which are better suited for resisting sun damage. While oil-based paint is also durable, it can be prone to fading in high heat and can become too viscous to apply easily in cold temperatures. Additionally, choosing a neutral or light color like gray, beige, or white can help, as these colors absorb less heat than darker shades.
