"Sheldon was excellent! Rapidly responded to our Angi request for a painter and was able to fit our project in when we needed him. Arrived on time and painted bedrooms, dining room wall, and did hallway touch ups. He also did a couple extra touch ups including spackle texture and was able to blend into existing color nicely. Highly recommend!"

"The work was done on schedule and within the estimated budget. In addition to completely removing a very steeply-pitched cedar shake roof, the original roof of the 100 plus year old house, the crew had to build the roof onto the house to meet building code. I chose a style and color and the crew of Pete Little Roofing did the massive amount of work.
The crew  cleaned up at every step of the work, were very careful of my two golden retrievers who were in the yard part of the time, and when our insurance company requested that the ornamental shake siding also be replaced Pete Little subcontracted a man who did the siding removal and replacement at the agreed price and within the agreed time frame.
When the job was complete the house looked fantastic.  I would recommend Little Roofing for any roof repair, replacement or just new construction. Excellent end result and very easy to work with.

"Outstanding. The project manager was excellent. He kept the crew on task masking and painting. They took care of my property and made sure everything was taken care of and protected. The end result wasn’t just a house painting, it’s a work of art."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

It’s often best to spray on deck sealer. Sprayers can apply sealant more quickly and evenly than rolling while still enabling you to reach tight spaces. When using a sprayer, always use a low-pressure setting at a close distance to ensure an even application. Avoid using sprayers on windy days.

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

The best paint for an older deck depends on the material and whether or not your deck already has a coat of paint. Generally, if your deck already has paint on it, you should choose the same type of paint when repainting the deck. For example, if an old deck has oil-based paint on it, stick with oil; if your deck has water-based paint, choose water-based paint. 

You’ll need to wait until the surface is completely dry, which can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours under optimal conditions. The waiting period depends on several factors, including the type of siding and the weather conditions. Trying to paint before the surface is completely dry can trap moisture under the paint, leading to bubbling, blistering, and mold growth.

Yes, it is important to wash your deck before painting to ensure the paint applies well and adheres properly. While you don't have to use a pressure washer, it is one of the most efficient cleaning methods. Pressure washing can quickly remove dirt, wood fibers, and flaked paint, getting deeper into the wood than manual scrubbing. You can also clean the deck with a stiff broom and a cleaning solution. Regardless of the method, a clean surface is essential for good paint adhesion. Make sure the deck is completely dry before applying any paint.
