"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!"

"Kaycey Betts with All About Remodeling made completing a variety of jobs we needed done around our home easy. Painted a storm door, repaired exterior fencing and gates, repaired our shed which had been damaged by lightning, reinforced cement work around our exterior stairs, repaired a cabinet in our laundry room, trimmed branches from our trees - just a sample of the things Kaycey did for us. He was prompt, polite, friendly, worked hard, had great communication skills, and completed our projects in a timely manner and at a reasonable cost. Kaycey has extensive knowledge and experience to enhance your home or property. Would not hesitate to call him back or recommend to others. The real deal!"

"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!"

"We needed post construction interior painting of the whole house. Brad was quick to respond, respectful, flexible in working with our schedule, fair in pricing and did an excellent job. Even after the project was done, he helped us out with post contractor fixes needed to the Sheetrock, etc. Would definitely use the services again and recommend to others!"

"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.

"Joe was great to work with. He is friendly and laidback which took the stress off of the project. His crew did a great job painting the exterior of our home, staining the front of our property, and detailing the trim work. The total cost people included some carpentry work that one of his subcontractors assisted with, replacing boards on our home and deck. Overall, great experience!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

You can paint over old paint on a concrete porch. For the best results, you should first clean the surface and remove as much paint as you can. A power washer is helpful here, but you’ll also want to scrape as much of the old paint away as possible. Then you should prime the porch before repainting it.

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.

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.
