"We researched for exterior painters on Angi’s List; Home Advisor and also looked through google reviews as well. There are a lot of painters out there, but we did narrow it down to five and obtained estimates from all. We selected Pete of Premier Painting and so happy we did. From the beginning he was timely with his follow up to our calls/emails; he provided an initial estimate based on information and photos and then met with us to do a more detailed estimate (which didn’t change, except for additional items that we decided to include). His estimate was competitive and we just had a “good feeling” that he would be the right fit for us and based on reviews, a good painter. Although we were initially going to be scheduled for Spring of 2022, at the last minute Pete had an opening in the schedule for the end of this season and began in September. His work is great; he sprayed and brushed our home and when he sprayed he back brushed for complete coverage; he is neat; cleans up each day; is organized in his approach on how and what he painted so as the front was done first both trim and body so from the road it looked complete. During the course of his being here, we ended up making some changes in terms of stain treatment for our deck, which resulted in more sanding; adding an item or two and he has always been professional and agreeable. In addition to painting the entire exterior - our deck balusters were all stained brown and he is painting them all white - pretty labor intensive but the finished product is just what we hoped for. For various reasons he ended up painting our home by himself and he is here every day - 6 days a week, weather permitting; is communicative if he won’t be here for weather related reasons - and he even returned our dog when he was leaving and found her down the road. A pleasure to work with; we highly recommend.--"

"Adam came the day after I called him and did a terrific, quality, job staining our pergola. While there he also kindly painted our bar supports at no extra costs! We highly recommend Adam and will use him for other projects in the future."

All the cabinet doors are brought to our shop to be completely refinished in an environment where the paint can properly cure.
This 1940s home looks brand new, after a complete refinishing of the siding and trim, a flat finish for the siding, satin finish for the trim, and newly constructed trellises integrated into the corner boards.

"Paulo and his partner did an amazing job painting our dining/living room. They also removed the popcorn ceiling that other painters would not touch. They were professional and their work tells it all. The owner also contacted me to make sure I was completely satisfied and if I needed anything touched up after my floor was sanded and sealed. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a professional great job!!"

"These guys are THE BEST!!! We hired them for a fairly big interior paint job (+1700 sq ft + ceilings). On personal level, they are out-going, friendly and funny. They work well as a team. Ryan came in with a well-thought-through plan of how the job would go, day-by-day...and they stuck to it. The estimate was VERY reasonable, compared to another outfit. (Those other guys started off at nearly twice the price, came down twice (still unable to match RES), and then, when I called them back as courtesy to let them know we weren't going with them, they said "we could have beaten that price and your guys will probably just throw paint around and do a lousy job"...BOY WERE THEY WRONG!) RES gave us enough coats to cover a pretty bad initial painting provided by out building contractor with, by far, better paint. They took great pride in the quality of their labor and it shows in their cut lines. It looks like they were done with very accurate taping, but it was all done by hand...a couple of guys who really know their craft and take the time to make sure they are providing the customer with "the service we deserve." But honestly, I'm not sure that's solely the reason...these guys are self-driven to make sure the job is something THEY can be proud of...and, as noted before, it shows. It took a full week and each night, the house was totally usable and CLEAN!!!...again a feature/service they take pride in. Unfortunately for those looking to have an interior done during the "summer" (Apr to about Oct) you're going to have to wait for these gents...and it'll be well worth the wait!...because they switch over exteriors then and, from what they said, they're booking up interiors for next "winter" already. So plan ahead, give them a shot, and I'll bet you'll be as impressed as we are."

Painting questions, answered by experts

The easiest way to stain a fence depends on your experience and comfort level with the project. Applying stain with an airless sprayer or pump sprayer might get the stain job done faster, but it can be tricky. Paint rollers and stain brushes are slower but simpler for a DIY project.

Wood stain is not flammable after it dries. The solvent in wood stain is what causes the liquid form to be highly flammable, but the stain drying process involves the solvents dissolving, which leaves behind a non-flammable product on your wood project. Wood stain is, however, flammable before you apply it, so you should always store partially full cans and used wood stain rags away from sources of heat and open flames.

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

If you paint a vinyl fence, it will likely stick to it for only a brief amount of time. This is because vinyl is not a porous material, so it's not an ideal surface for holding paint. Initially, paint will stick to your fence, but it will eventually peel off. Applying primer before painting your vinyl fence will help paint last longer. Certain primers are well-suited to vinyl, which means you can paint vinyl siding with the proper preparation.
