"This is my second time using Superb Painting. The crew was phenomenal with good attitudes and very precise painting abilities. They were very concerned about the house. They inspected their work constantly and decided whether another coat was needed or not. Superb Painting stresses attention to detail and making the current job the most important thing they’re doing or have done. Superb Painting is my go-to painters in Omaha. Fantastic experience!"

"Juan and his crew did an excellent job of power washing and staining my porch and deck. They were on time thorough and careful not to have stain dripping all over my patio. The area that they put two coats on they sanded between the coats. I would definitely use them again. They are good people."

"We had excellent service. When we were struggling with paint choices they came and met us at Sherwin to go through colors and even stopped over and painted samples on our walls. They came in twice a day to oversee their crew. The work was was outstanding and done in 3 days compared to other companies that were saying the project would take a week to 2 weeks to complete. I would absolutely recommend their services to anyone looking for outstanding service, work, and at a price that won't break the bank."

"Great job on re-staining and sealing the exterior of our house which has a log cabin look. We had some challenges in regards to the weather not always cooperating, but he kept us well informed. We've asked him to give us some quotes on interior work next."

"We were completely satisfied with our experience from start to finish. Brian came to get the painters started on the job. The painters were very professional-neat, quiet, excellent workmanship. Scott came to check on the progress and later on the finished job to make sure we were pleased, which we were. All involved were very concerned that we were pleased before giving us the bill, which was very reasonable. We’ve already booked them to paint our whole house."

"Dina was the sales rep that came out to our home.  She was very friendly and did a thorough walk around of our house and then measured to come up with an accurate estimate for our job.  She followed up with me a week later and we sent in our contract.  After this they said we would be notified of our 2-week window during which they would come out and paint, but I was never notified.  I emailed the office and they got back to me right away and let me know.  When that 2-week window arrived we were called to set up a time to power-wash and then to come out and prep.  We did not, however, receive a call that they would be coming out to paint.  My husband heard them arrive and start setting up as he was getting ready for work one morning.  It was no big deal, but I wished we would have been called to be notified that they would be coming.  For the most part everything looked really good.  The only things that needed touch-ups were our front storm door.  They got paint all over the frame of the storm door.  I could have done a better painting around that door then they did, which made me feel like they were a bit rushed.  We also were not having  our garage door painted (it will be replaced in the near future, but not until at least next summer, but the house was being painted the same color anyways).  However, they tested out all the paint colors on the garage door and did not tape off the trim, so got trim color all around the edges of the garage door, so once again felt like they were kinda rushing through and didn't pay attention to the little details.  I called and talked to the job site supervisor and he set up a time for them to come out and fix these mistakes.  They were out within 2 days and did a great job touching up the storm door and painting the garage door.  They gave me no issues with doing this, so I appreciate that CertaPro stand by their work.  Mistakes happen and things are overlooked, but the important thing is they fixed the problems.  Overall, we are happy with how it looks!  The job site supervisor was always very responsive and quick to return my calls, so we also appreciated that.

"My experience with Tracy "Tray" Hollingsworth was tremendous. We hired Tray initially to do some backyard deck repairs and staining, and his quality of work and strong communications were so excellent that we hired him for some additional activities that centered on exterior painting and some handyman tasks. I look forward to working with Tray again - - he is the BEST!"

"I hired color world to paint and repair my back deck. They did a nice job on the painting and when I showed them a few things that need to to be repaired they came back the very next day and fixed it. The staff was very friendly and receptive and I feel like I got a fair price comparing them to two other painters."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan, typically by five to 10 years. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and rot over time. Applying a treatment creates a protective shield that helps prevent splintering, fading, and decay, preserving the wood's strength and appearance. A combination stain and sealer often provides the best protection, as it soaks into the wood grain rather than just sitting on top. This offers superior defense against UV damage and rot and lasts longer than a sealer alone. To maintain the wood's natural look, consider using a near-translucent stain. You should plan to reapply the stain or sealer every two to three years.

Yes, beginners can use a paint sprayer, but there is a learning curve. It's important to go slowly, read the instructions thoroughly, and spend some time learning the technique. Watching tutorial videos for your specific paint sprayer model can be very helpful. Before starting your main project, practice on a scrap surface to get used to the sprayer and avoid common issues like overspraying, which can cause drips, bubbles, and other imperfections. For safety, always wear a mask and gloves, and be careful not to touch the sprayer's tip when it's in use, particularly with high-powered airless sprayers.

An exterior paint job typically lasts between 5 and 10 years, though this can range from 3 to 17 years depending on several factors. The longevity is influenced by the quality of the paint and primer, the quality of the application, the local climate, and the type of surface being painted. For example, paint on wood siding may need to be redone every 3 to 7 years, while painted brick can last up to 17 years. Aluminum siding often needs repainting every 5 years.

Opt for an interior wood stain that is rated for your type of wood. Consider your personal style preferences as well as the overall use of the room when choosing a color. Remember, the color you see at the store may look different on your actual floors once applied. This is why if you have the chance, it’s helpful to test a few options on a scrap piece of wood in the room first. Once you narrow it down, you can test a small patch on an inconspicuous area in the room to see it on the actual floors.

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.
