"Ever was great, he was able to give me a quote that made sense for my outdoor painting job on our whole home. It was a mixed project between metal siding, brick and a wood retaining wall but he recommended the right paints and didnt cut corners. There was an issue with the paint store mixing the full gallons that didnt match the sample we had used and Ever took the lead to make sure we got what we agreed upon. I will use him again in the future and recommend him as a painter to all of my friends."

"Excellent and positive experience from start to finish.Nick Murante, one of the owners came by and we did a walk through and
he gave me an estimate for the paint job as described above.  He honored Angie's list $300 discount.  Carpentry repairs were billed at $40 per hour plus labor.  His crew boss, Julio, worked with his wife and two other family members.  They were extremely reliable, arriving at 8:00 am sharp, stopping at noon for a half hour lunch and working without a break until 5-5:30 pm.  They cleaned up the job site every night and were very responsive to all my questions and suggestions.  If I found any areas of the house they missed it was immediately taken care of.  The job was scheduled in a timely fashion and done within a week (we were blessed with a week of sunshine).  The house never looked so good!  They really worked hard to prep the house properly so the finish coats would lay smoothe, and decrease the likelyhood of chipping in the future. I'd hire them back in a heart beat for any further work.  They also provide a 4 year warranty, plus they used a very high quality Sherman Williams paint (Resiiance). I can't say enough about Julio's good humor and
cooperative nature which made working with them a pleasure."

"I have no complaint with the quality of their work. However, as usual with a house built in 1895, the job grew as they worked! A simple gutter replacement turned into a complete Porch roof replacement. Considerably more expensive. I could see the water damage myself so I didnâ  t feel they were being dishonest. The job was completed quickly and efficiently. I am satisfied."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must. 

You’ll need to wait until the surface is completely dry, which can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours under optimal conditions. The waiting period depends on several factors, including the type of siding and the weather conditions. Trying to paint before the surface is completely dry can trap moisture under the paint, leading to bubbling, blistering, and mold growth.
