"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."

"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 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!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years.

You’ll want to avoid excessively hot or humid conditions, so it’s best to apply your stain in late spring to early fall. It's also important to watch the weather forecast and aim for days when there isn’t rain expected for at least three days. For new decks, allow the wood to season beforehand for at least four to eight weeks.

Exterior paints contain more volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, making them dangerous when used indoors. Without the free ventilation of the great outdoors, it can take longer for the fumes to dissipate than interior paint. While you may notice the smell lessening more quickly, you should be wary of paint fumes inside for 48 to 72 hours after it dries.

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

Adding a second coat of stain to wood can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.
