"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."

"We have been very pleased to find All-Pro Painting, Cary NC for the painting of our home.

From first contact, Justin returned our calls promptly or texted if that was not possible.  We appreciated his willingness to meet with us as quickly as possible for an estimate (including a second one after we had additional thoughts) and likewise sought to accommodate our somewhat tight scheduling needs.  Justin's upbeat personality made it easy to ask questions, express concerns and ultimately feel confident in our choices.

The men that actually painted the house were friendly and their work was professional, organized and efficient.   Our job started within the window originally planned ( again, Justin kept us well informed through clear communication), and the men worked  to finish on time, leaving the house clean and good condition, replacing blinds, etc that they had removed for the painting.

I feel confident in recommending All-Pro Painting, Cary NC to others and to having them return to my home if needed.

"I have owned my house 20 years and there are very few contractors that I would use again. I got 6 quotes before I decided on Cortes Painting. I have had my house painted 3 times with other painting companies and Jose & crew did the best job. They repaired a bunch of bad siding and fixed a sagging fence too! I am so pleased with the way my house looked after they finished. I plan to use them next spring to put a fresh coat of paint on my porch and deck too. A great experience all around! Thank you Jose!"

"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."

"We’ve used International Painting several times over the years and they always deliver excellent, high quality results on time and on budget. Last week they power washed our house, deck, and driveway; painted the foundation; stained the deck; resealed the driveway; and repainted front entrance. We’re delighted that our 30-year old home looks brand new! Fermin and his team are prompt, polite, and professional. Fermin shared his insurance without asking and the team cleaned up every day. We’re extremely happy and will use International Painting again in the future for some interior work."

Painting questions, answered by experts

Most gutter painting pros also specialize in complete home exterior painting. You may save by making your gutter painting part of the cost to paint the exterior of a house in its entirety. Many people have all parts of their home exterior painted simultaneously to keep everything looking equally fresh. Consider having walls, trim, porches, shutters, and doors painted as well.

You should inspect the area regularly for rust, clean it with a wire brush, repaint it every few years, and apply a protective sealant to prevent corrosion.

Moisture and rot are the largest threat to wooden fences. Stain can help your wood fence last 15 to 20 years, but only if you choose a stain with waterproofing qualities or add a sealant. Oil-based stains create a thicker moisture barrier than water-based stains, though both are mold and mildew resistant. You’ll generally need to re-stain your fence every one to eight years to get full protection.

Rags used with oil-based stains are highly flammable and can spontaneously combust in the right conditions. To reduce the fire risk, throw them in a metal container after use and add rocks on top to secure them. Add an inch of water and seal the container. Take the rags in the container to a hazardous waste factory as soon as possible.

Typically, a fence requires one to two coats of stain. The exact number can vary depending on the porosity of the wood. For specific guidance, it's best to check the manufacturer's instructions. After applying the first coat and letting it dry completely, you can assess the finish. If it appears patchy, uneven, or you want a more saturated color, a second coat is recommended. An extra coat can also help cover lap marks.
