"Louie is a great person and a superb professional. He painted two sets of cabinets and walls in master bath, dining room and kitchen - all are amazing. Five stars are not enough - maybe 15/20 or more. I would/will hire him again. Did I mention, he is a very very nice guy."

"Mr. Lopez and the ladies that work with him are beyond amazing. They all are very professional. We had our kitchen painted and cabinets, all of the bathrooms and bedrooms upstairs and downstairs, our man cave, playroom, bonus room, laundry room and hallways, our stairway railing stained and all doors to existing rooms painted, all of the bathroom vanities and the exterior porch columns painted and our stairway. Mr. Lopez also replaced all of our old kitchen hardware for our cabinets and drawers and our bathroom vanities hardware also. They did a exceptional job in fact we will be using their services in the near future. Mr. Lopez's attention to detail is the best every exception was fulfilled we asked he answered and made sure the job was completed exceptionally. I also like the fact that the ladies that work with him including himself all had on mask when they came. When the job was completed Mr. Lopez and the ladies cleaned up behind themselves,. I would highly recommend him and his crew to anyone who needs painting done."

"Diego gave helpful advice on a whole house painting(including tin roof and decking). He and his crew spent significant time pressure washing and preparing all surfaces for paint and stain. They came promptly as the weather permitted. He and his crew were meticulous and expert in their painting. They left no mess behind on any day of work. It was fun to see the progress and we feel like we have a new home and deck and are thrilled with it. It was a pleasure to work with Diego and his crew."

"Contacted me right away, gave me a preliminary estimate over the phone. Showed up on time for his appointment and inspection, gave me a final estimate. Told me about other thing that should/could be done at a later date. Completed the work at the time he expected and cleaned up everything. I could not have expected anything better!"

"EverPro does outstanding work. Derrick is knowledgeable, runs the service efficiently, and is easy to work with. I recently completed a full renovation of a large barn, turning it into my home. Every interior and exterior surface was painted or stained. They handled the entire project thoroughly and professionally. I have built or renovated a number of homes over the years and have worked with many painters on large residential projects, and this crew is among the best I have seen for the quality of their painting, organization, and reliability. This was a unique project with challenges and a lot of detail work, and EverPro exceeded my expectations, making it look better than I anticipated. They met deadlines and followed up well. I have also used their power-washing services, and I’m pleased with that. I have no complaints after working extensively with them. Highly recommended."

"I hired M.A.S. Painting and Remodeling to paint my guest bedroom and repair a water-damaged wall, and I’m very pleased with the results. He was punctual, professional, and extremely neat—he left everything spotless. The work was done to a high standard, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him or hire him again in the future. Great job!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

To make sure the paint won’t bubble as you apply it, make sure to paint on a day that’s cooler than 85 degrees Fahrenheit. When the temperature is too high, the paint won’t dry evenly, which can result in bubbles forming on the surface. Another way to prevent paint from bubbling is to clean the walls, apply primer, and let everything dry completely before you begin.

When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.

If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.

Two coats of stain are ideal for the best protection and aesthetic appeal. However, if your decking is made of particularly dense hardwood, you may only need one coat. If you want an intense color, two coats are ideal.
