"Brian Bowen went above and beyond on this job! He did everything he said he would and more to paint the whole interior and entry door and shutters of the house, buying even more paint as needed to satisfy the “thirsty walls” that had never been painted before. He was cheerful and accommodating to the customer’s’ requests . He ALWAYS arrived 10 minutes early to start on time every morning. Mr. Bowen is very professional, and we would recommend him highly."

"Matthew and his painting assistant did a phenomenal job painting my bedroom and bathroom. They were very thorough and meticulous, with great attention to detail. They were able to finish a day earlier than originally estimated, and the complete job was very reasonably priced. I thank them for being willing to take on a job that, I'm sure, was not an easy task. I highly recommend Matthew and his company."

"My home was in need of gutter cleaning and exterior cleaning/power-wash. I found Adam and Perfect Lawn and Home through an online search that led me here to his HomeAdvisor profile. When I saw all of the reviews and positive words, I decided to give him a call. He was professional, easy to work with, on time for the estimate, gave a fair quote for the work, showed up on the day and time agreed upon, and did an outstanding job! Very thorough, professional, flexible and respectful. No shortcuts. The place looks amazing from the tip of the roof to the bottom of the foundation! Really a pleasure and rare to find a contractor around here that does what they say (and then some), shows up when they say they will, and performs quality work. Well worth it. Adam goes to the top of my list now for future needs."

"Glenn is an extremely professional, friendly, and reasonable man and Coast to Coast is the only company I will use in the future for any interior/exterior painting.  His quote to paint the entire 2400sqft 2-story house and a large deck (approx 8x35) was $4650 which I found to be quite reasonable.  I had received 2 quotes about 18 months prior that were $1000-$1500 higher.  Glenn requested that I find a professional carpenter to fix the rotten spots (which he assessed while pressure washing) prior to beginning painting.  After having 3 different carpenters come out, none were willing to do it due to the danger and inaccessibility of the spots.  Glenn then fixed those spots for $1000 which again I thought was quite reasonable based on their location.  His crew hand-painted 2 coats on our hardy-plank home and 2 coats of stain on our cedar trim.  They did an OUTSTANDING job caulking everything which the house was in dire need of after not having been painted in 16 years.  The house looks great and the attention to detail was very impressive, I haven't seen any imperfections yet.  Glenn exceeded my expectations.

We recently purchased a 2nd home on Lake James with an exterior that is 100% cedar.  The exterior was in serious need of cleaning and re-staining.  It had not been maintained; and, had a significant amount of mold staining and several areas of the trim had the original finish peeling off.

We contracted with Mike and Crystal to prep and re-stain the exterior of our home.  Throughout the process, Mike demonstrated thoroughness, competency and responsibility.  Mike and Crystal took personal responsibility to ensure they delivered a quality product.  Mike kept his commitments and did not compromise his work product even when faced with the stripping process taking more time than he expected.  He completed the project per the schedule he committed.

Mike demonstrated a high attention to detail in the finishing process and ensured the project was completed to my satisfaction.  The home looks beautiful...we could not be happier.

I solicited bids from several paint contractors and evaluated several before selecting Mike.  His pricing was very competitive versus several other contractors; but, I never observed where Mike cut corners.

I would definitely recommend MIke's Painting and will plan to use Mike again when we have painting needs.

"Overall I was very satisfied with my painting project. Sal, the painter who worked on my home painted two rooms for me and with the exception of a few minor drops of paint on the carpet (which I removed easily with cuticle scissors) he did an excellent job. A little more care with the drop cloth and he would have gotten a 5 Star rating. All the lines were crisp and clean and straight. He was a pleasure to work with as was Jeremy the owner. I would highly recommend them for your next project."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

You’ll want to avoid excessively hot or humid conditions, so it’s best to apply your stain in late spring to early fall. It's also important to watch the weather forecast and aim for days when there isn’t rain expected for at least three days. For new decks, allow the wood to season beforehand for at least four to eight weeks.

By applying protective finishes and using durable materials that withstand weather and time.

Limewash and whitewash are two techniques used to give brick a light, matte finish, but they differ in composition, application, and permanence. The best choice depends on your aesthetic goals and the specific surface.

Composition

  • Limewash: A natural and environmentally friendly option made from limestone, water, and sometimes pigments. It is breathable and soaks into porous surfaces like brick.

  • Whitewash: Traditionally made from lime, water, chalk, and binders, but a similar look can be achieved with watered-down white paint. It is paint-based and sits on top of the surface.

Appearance and Finish

  • Limewash: Provides a natural, textured appearance that allows the brick's character to show through. It offers a more traditional finish.

  • Whitewash: Creates a softer, more opaque finish, often used for a rustic or shabby-chic style.

Application and Permanence

  • Limewash: Is semi-permanent and can be removed, making it a good choice if you might want to change the look in the future. It requires more skill to apply and cannot be used on previously painted brick.

  • Whitewash: Is a more permanent solution. It is more forgiving to apply and can be used on painted brick. However, because it sits on the surface, it can trap moisture.

Ultimately, if you want a breathable, natural, and reversible finish for unpainted brick, limewash is a great option. If you need a more permanent, opaque coating that can be applied over painted surfaces, whitewash is the better choice. Whitewashing may also be more economical, costing approximately $1.40 to $4.20 per square foot.

Yes, it's a good idea to sand the wall with fine-grit sandpaper after spackling, especially if you plan on painting. You can do this by hand or using a sander, but the idea is to ensure the spackle is flush with the wall. Sanding will give your wall a smooth, uniform finish and help your paint and wallpaper stay put.

For homes in areas with extreme weather, high heat, or intense sun exposure, high-quality acrylic paint is the best option. Acrylic paint is durable, resistant to both heat and cold, and provides a protective barrier with excellent UV resistance. For best results, look for acrylics that contain natural earth pigments, which are better suited for resisting sun damage. While oil-based paint is also durable, it can be prone to fading in high heat and can become too viscous to apply easily in cold temperatures. Additionally, choosing a neutral or light color like gray, beige, or white can help, as these colors absorb less heat than darker shades.
