"This is the second time I’ve hired Proud Work Ethics in the past 6 months to do painting for me. The first project in the fall was the interior of our garage, and refinishing our deck. The work they performed was so outstanding, that it was easy to hire them back to paint our master bedroom. Professional, courteous, prompt, clean, honest, reasonable and hard working. What more could you ask for in a contractor? Would not hesitate to hire them again, or to recommend their services to anyone in need of a painter."

"On the Job Painting exceeded our expectations. They just completed an exterior paint job of our shingles and trim. The crew was prompt, clean, courteous and meticulous with their work. Keith checked in regularly to insure we were being taken care of. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a painting contractor, and I will contact them again if we decide to do any interior painting work in the future. You may get quotes from other companies that come in lower, but do not be fooled. On the Job Painting performs at a higher quality than the average company. For this type of investment we are happy we chose them over other bids."

"I was impressed. They showed up on time. Did the work on a house that hadn't been power washed since the siding went on 20 + years ago. They also cleaned out my gutters. Now the house looks great and I would definitely recommend them to others! They are also doing some other work for me and so far that work looks good as well!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

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

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.

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.

Costs depend on coating type, labor, site preparation, and required finishes.
