"We had previously hired Paz Painting to remove popcorn from the ceilings in 2 rooms and hired his crew again to do the same in our dining and living rooms, an entryway and the upstairs stairwell ceiling. They also painted several rooms. They did a great job in both regards and did a nice job of cleaning up when done. Narciso is easy to work with and I would definitely hire his company again."

"Juan and crew were very professional, early and completed the work even better than expected. The exterior paint job was exceptional. Everything was cleaned up at the end of the day. I will have them back for additional paint jobs."

"Kelvin and his team did an excellent job. They were on time, efficient, diligent, clean and ended the job by painting and gutter cleaning all in one day. Job included Front door Fluted Fascia repair and install, new crawl space door and siding repair and replacement with painting, gutter cleaning. The company name doesnâ t do them justice - they can do more than paint!"

"Brothers company was by far the easiest company I ever worked with. Theyâ re integrity, reliability, and honesty really put them at forefront of painter and Carpentry. We had a lot of wood rot, Carlos was very thorough making sure he found all the rot and made sure I saw it and understood each steps. They also painted the house and stain the deck. My deck never looked so good!"

"Michelle came out and did my quote, she was very thorough and made sure the quality was up to my standard! She checked behind the contractors so that eased my mind (I’ve had painting where the contractors messed up my walls and I had to hire a WHOLE other company just to fix it.) Also loved how they made sure the paint didn’t get in places they shouldn’t be. Need to get my porch painted next, so listen for my call !!"

"Miguel was so great to work with. He replaced all of our wood siding with Hardie Plank and then painted our home. He and his crew worked so quickly and did an incredible job! Miguel was so kind, well-priced, and did quality work. We will definitely use him again in the future and will be recommending him to others!"

"Excellent experience from start to finish! I highly recommend this painting company. They did an outstanding job painting both the interior and exterior of my home, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The team was extremely professional, reliable, efficient, and always on time. Their pricing was very fair, especially considering the excellent quality of their work and attention to detail. What I appreciated most was that they didn’t just come in and paint, they took the time to listen to what I wanted and offered great ideas and recommendations that really improved the overall project. They were respectful of my home and worked efficiently throughout the entire process. I was also very impressed with how well they cleaned everything up when the job was finished and carefully put everything back in its proper place. They left my home clean, organized, and looking beautiful, both inside and out. It is not always easy to find a company that combines it all. Five stars!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

Regular cleaning, touch-ups for small defects, and resealing or repainting every 2-3 years help to maintain a vibrant appearance and protection.

Both a roller and a brush are effective methods for painting a chain link fence. A roller will make the job easier by ensuring symmetrical strokes and reaching the backside of the fence as well, which cuts down on paint time. However, a brush is often necessary for painting the base of the fence and near the posts due to its ease of reaching smaller spaces.

On most untreated wood fences, there is no need to sand before treating. You typically only need to sand if there’s an old coat of paint or stain on your fence. If you do need to sand off a previous paint or protective coating (like an old stain or sealant), use medium-grit sandpaper.
