"Overall, I had a great experience working with Precision Painting Plus. From a professional standpoint they were excellent — great communication, quick response time, and thorough follow-up. The painting itself looks very good, but I did notice a few spots that could have been cleaner, such as some paint on the white moldings, a drip mark, and areas around the trim that weren’t as sharp as I’d hoped. Nothing major, but worth mentioning. All in all, I would recommend them and would use them again, just with a little more attention to detail next time."

"David and his team went the extra mile to prep and paint the exterior of my house as they have in the past. Meticulous attention to detail and all the vagaries that seasoned houses present are hallmarks of David’s work. This is especially important to me as the color scheme of my house involves five individual colors that need to be seamlessly incorporated. David and his Van Gogh team are definitely the ones to call if you have a vintage home with complex, multicolor gingerbread detail. David is wonderful to work with and his advice about paint color and attention to structural issues come from decades of work in the field."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Acrylic paint is one of the best types of paint to use on your home's exterior. It's a durable paint that is also heat- and cold-resistant. While oil-based paint is also durable, it's prone to fading,  making it not as good of an option if you live someplace with extremely high heat. In colder regions, oil-based and alkyd paints become more viscous, which makes it harder to apply the paint.

Yes, you need to thoroughly clean the deck surface before staining your deck. Dirt, debris, and mildew can settle on the surface of your wood. If you do not properly clean it, these stains will get trapped between the wood and the stain. Not only does this present an unsightly surface, but your wood will only partially be protected by the stain, meaning you'll need to stain again sooner.

You should wait three to six months after you buy it to paint pressure-treated wood. It needs time to dry from the chemicals applied to it. The paint will not adhere to the treated wood as well if it’s still wet from chemicals. To test the wooden boards, drip water onto them. If the wood absorbs the water, it’s ready for painting. If the water beads up, it’s not dry enough to paint yet. You can build your deck or fence while the treated wood is still wet, but you’ll need to paint it later.

Pricing depends on prep work, paint/stain choice, area size, scaffolding needs, and detailed trim inclusions like precision-balanced windowsills.

While the answer varies based on weather, 10 a.m. is a good time to start painting. The dew will have dried, meaning there’s no moisture on the house, and the temperature will likely be moderate and the sunlight less direct. Starting mid-morning should also give you enough daylight and pleasant weather to work on the job for several hours.
