"Paz painting was excellent. They did a great job with some repairs to rotten fascia boards and then painted our entire two story house. Quality of the job was very good and Paz painting was very professional and easy to work with. Price was also very competitive as compared with two other quotes we got."

"Jamal and his crew were so easy to work with! Jamal saved the day when the paint supplier sent the wrong color paint for some accents, he knew the vision I had and sorted it out with the paint supplier - that's the kind of team you want painting your house! Very detail oriented, kind, and fast. Highly recommend!"

"We had a small job of repairing drywall and touch up painting. Henry finished the work in about 3 hours. He was very careful with protecting the floor with a drop cloth, precise with the repairs/painting, and cleaned up afterwards. We really appreciated his professional work ethic and suggestions for other future projects. We will hire H&M Contractor, LLC again."

"Excellent job painting and staining my new sun porch.  The team was punctual, tidy and finished the job in three days.  The results exceeded my expectations.  I'd use this group again.  Communication was excellent and i couldn't be happier.

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

The best finish for wrought iron railings is either a semi-gloss or a gloss sheen, as each offers good durability against rain, wind, heat, cold, and snow. 

When applying multiple coats, wait four to six hours for each coat to dry. Not waiting long enough can result in streaks, peeling, and uneven color. Plus, it will be more difficult to discern where the second coat has already been applied.

Adding a second coat of stain to wood can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.

Maintaining a composite fence is pretty straightforward, as it doesn’t require staining or repainting. To keep it clean, scrub the fencing with a composite deck cleaner or hot, soapy water. Use a soft-bristle brush for the best results, and avoid using pressure washers or sanders. Plan to clean your fence at least twice a year. Scrubbing the fencing in the fall and spring can help prevent mold and mildew growth.

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.
