"I have hired Shelton Painting for a few other paint jobs in the past and found them to be the best due to their prep work, quality of paint used, punctuality and clean up. Previous outstanding jobs included our deck and main floor bath. Last year Dan came out to clean the siding on our house & it made such a difference. (It's very hard work when done to their standards.)
My bathroom was red with a dark rag wash. I wanted to give it a more up to date color and Todd suggested picking up some of the subtle blue gray tones of the floor tile. Jim arrived exactly on time. He had to tape and patch a section of wall in the toilet room that the plumber had cut to insert a new valve. Todd arrived with only one gallon of paint and I was convinced that it wouldn't be enough for two coats of paint to cover the red paint. I'm not sure how he managed it but the coverage was great and it looks like a new room. Clean up was thorough. 
I will be having Shelton Painting back out to paint the front exterior trim and porch of my house. Because my house faces south, it takes a beating from the sun and wind. We have been using Sherwin Williams Duration paint and it seems to hold up well. It is most critical to have someone like Shelton Painting do the exterior work because the extensive prep work they do really pays off. They hand paint and always double coat. I'm looking forward to having the exterior done to make the house look like new.

"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!"

"I couldn't be more pleased with the work! I received several bids and right away I felt confident that I was making the right choice so that the house would be painted with quality. I also had them clean the gutters before painting, and the gutters were cleaned with detail. I had them remove a small fence and railing that were no longer needed, and you can't even tell where those were with the manner in which they were removed, holes filled and prepared, and paint applied. The house is close to 4,000 square feet, with several colors, screened-in porch, and you can see the attention to detail. In addition, deck and the floor in the screened-in porch look amazing. I will gladly welcome Aaron and his team back. I received several bids and I was most comfortable with Aaron. This work was on my mom's house, and there is a possibility that the house will be sold at some point. However, I wanted the work completed with the quality that my parents have always maintained."

"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."

"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!"

"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!!"

"Allen gave me an in person quote for painting in my hallway and a guest room. When he was here he helped me go through all the paint left by the owners to determine if we could use it to save $. He arrived early and completed the work extremely well and very neatly. He went through everything to make sure I was happy. I have already hired him for another job."

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

If you have wood decking, there are several common deck problems that you might encounter. For example, your natural wood boards may fade over time due to things like sunlight, weather, and debris. On top of that, some types of wood decking can rot, grow mold, and attract destructive pests—including termites, carpenter ants, and woodpeckers.

If your biggest concern is making sure your deck doesn’t show dirt, opt for a darker neutral color that blends in well with your surrounding landscape. A rich brown or dark grey are both good options that work with a variety of house colors. A high-quality acrylic paint is easy to clean and maintain, so it might be worth spending the money on.

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.

A wood deck requires annual cleaning and regular inspections for loose or broken boards, nails, and screws. It should be refinished by applying a stain or sealer every two to three years to protect the wood from water damage, rot, mildew, and sun fading. The exact frequency can depend on the climate and the deck's exposure to sun and moisture. If your deck is painted, it will need repainting approximately every 10 years. Signs that your deck needs refinishing include faded, splintering, or warping boards.

Choosing the best color for your home exterior should factor in longevity as well as your personal taste. To keep your house looking newly painted as long as possible, stay away from red paint. Although red homes pop and are quintessential for country-style barns, red paint tends to fade fastest in the sun. Go with earth tones if you want paint that best resists fading.
