"Narciso and his team repainted our guest bedroom, guest bathroom and did touch-ups around our house to perfection. It started out with very dark paint, and the switch to light colors required 4 coats! And they did a beautiful job. Within 24 hours of calling, Narciso came to our house. The next day, he emailed us a quote. We signed the contract and his team started painting the next morning. The cost was very reasonable, particularly in comparison to another highly rated company’s quote. We will be using them again for future jobs."

"Cruz Home Painting did an outstanding job painting the entire interior of our home. Jesus came out the same day I contacted him to give me a quote. The price was very fair and the job was completed earlier than our original time line. The house was prepped throughout as not to get any paint on my wood floors, tile, or carpet. The cleanup was even better as I couldn't tell that work was done in the house. This company is very fair with their pricing and the end results are fabulous. Can't go wrong with this company!!!"

"Company was very responsive and easy to deal with. I had a privacy fence stained. They masked off the house and driveway to avoid over spray then applied the stain with two coats. The two gentlemen who did the job were great and worked very **** ** a very hot day. Fence looks great. I would definitely use five star painting again."

"Jeromy from Express Yourself arrived on time. He had a positive attitude and went to work! He did a good job smoothing out the imperfections in the walls and ceiling. He made sure that we were completely satisfied with all the painting before he left."

"Fermin and his crew painted the top two floors of the house. Fermin was very flexible and clear when providing the quote, punctual when the work started, and the job was done carefully and skillfully. I would definitely hire Fermin's crew again."

Painting questions, answered by experts

For the longest-lasting exterior paint, consider acrylic or enamel (oil-based) paints. Acrylic paints, including acrylic latex and acrylic enamel, are known for withstanding harsh weather and sun exposure. Enamel-based paints are also one of the most durable options available. While latex paint is common, it typically has a shorter lifespan than acrylic or oil-based options. The paint's finish also affects its durability; a higher gloss finish is generally more durable. For resistance to moisture and cracking, matte and satin finishes can be effective, while a high-gloss acrylic or oil-based paint offers a combination of maximum longevity and durability.

You should repaint your fence every 1 to 3 years, depending on the appearance of wear and tear. Weather and usage will factor into how often you should paint another coat on your fence. If you need to replace a few fence boards or posts, you may want to consider repainting the fence to help protect the rest of the fence as well as the new pieces against damage and deterioration from being exposed to the elements.

DIY is possible but presents risks of uneven surfaces or improper adhesion; professionals offer expertise to ensure a lasting finish.

We don’t recommend it. A wired brush or a brush with metal bristles damages concrete and asphalt during the stain removal process. For the best results, stick to nylon stiff enough to do the job but gentle enough to keep from scratching the driveway. For extra caution, skip the brush entirely and use towels.

The best way to prepare your vinyl fence for a paint job is to clean it with warm, soapy water and rinse it with a hose or pressure washer on a low setting. Be sure to let it totally dry, then sand the surface before applying an epoxy-based primer. After the primer, you're ready to paint your vinyl fence.
