"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!"

"We are extremely pleased with the exterior sealing of our full-log home and log-sided garage recently completed by Matt and his family crew at Northern Lakes Painting and Finishing! Matt listened to our needs, then did everything we asked and more. He meticulously cleaned and prepared the exterior before completely sealing all exposed surfaces. He also painted our four garage doors to completely refresh the exterior appearance. Our property has never looked better! His family crew worked quietly, steadily, neatly and efficiently as a team to produce a beautiful result without collateral damage to our property. Best of all, considering the end results, we feel we got an excellent value and would highly recommend Matt and his crew for anyone’s exterior sealing project! Dennis & Jane Bengtson"

"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!"

"Jake and his assistant arrived on time and went right to work. They did a very professional job in prepping and caring for the furniture and floors. The day turned out to be raining, so the first coat wasn't drying as fast as it should. Jake offered to come back later in the day and put the second coat on, which he did. They did a great job with cleanup too. I am very happy with the quality, coverage and care that was taken and would definitely use them again and recommend others use them also."

"Overall, very good.  To protect ourselves from a difficult neighbor, we designed a fence that could be built and repaired from our property only.  Construction was to be in two phases, first, the posts were to be set, then we would excavate and build a small retaining wall, and then phase two was filling in the actual fence.  Only Artistic Fence (Amy Nosebush) took the time to really understand the compexity of the project, its level of difficulty, and our high expectations of work quality.  Accordingly, they had the highest bid, but we expected to pay for the work we felt the project required.  The fence ultimately met most of our expectations.
The low points:  1) On day one, as I was leaving for work, I noticed that one of the concrete forms for the posts was out of alignment.  I talked to the foreman, and he was immediately over-the-top angry and said if I were going to criticize his work "every five minutes", he was quitting the job.  I said little more, left, but called the owner to ask to meet at the house.  When I later checked the rest of the work, most of the forms were in line and the posts themselves looked really good.  I met the owner, explained why the misaligned form was a problem (it meant the retaining wall would be crooked), and he conceded the problem.  We agreed to continue and he would supervise more closely.  2) Before we built the retaining wall, it rained alot.  We discovered sink holes around some of the posts and realized the rain washed dirt into poorly compacted soil.  Most of the posts moved, not from wet ground, but because of poor compacting.  Rather than complain again, I compacted the dirt, trying to keep the posts plumb.  One is crooked, my fault, and of course I notice it all the time.
The high points: 1) To finish the fence, the owner assigned a particular person (Chad I think).  His work is virtually perfect and would make any finish or trim carpenter proud.  2) The fence is now two winters and a summer old, and becuase of Chad's careful work, not a board is warped.  Except for the expected weathering and shrinking, it looks as thorough it was just built.
We highly recommend Artistic Fence.  No one else would have put up with us.  We're sorry we couldn't rate them all A.

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

It’s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that’s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat. 

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.

There’s no single paint that’s the most waterproof. Instead, there are several types of waterproof and water-resistant paints that suit different purposes. Epoxy paint, for instance, is commonly used to provide a waterproof coating to floors and decks. Masonry paint is an excellent choice for exterior walls. Meanwhile, there are waterproof acrylic paints that can be used for interior and exterior walls. It’s more about choosing the best type for what you’re painting instead of the most waterproof paint overall.

Two coats of stain are ideal for the best protection and aesthetic appeal. However, if your decking is made of particularly dense hardwood, you may only need one coat. If you want an intense color, two coats are ideal.

Yes, you must thoroughly clean your deck before staining. If you don't, dirt, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped between the wood and the new stain. This not only looks unsightly but also prevents the stain from penetrating the wood properly, reducing its ability to protect the deck from weather and UV rays. As a result, the stain won't last as long or look as good. Any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning for the wood to dry completely before applying stain.
