"State wide stained our entire 4,100 sq. Ft. Cedar sided contemporary which has multiple rooflines and 30â high sections. Danâ s crew was neat and efficient, finishing earlier than projected. Dan was easy to work. Their pricing was excellent as well. I would use them for any painting project."

"Eric takes his time to insure that the prep work is done right. He is careful and very knowledgeable about his craft. He did our trim and shutters that had not been painted in 14 years as well as the old garage door. This required a lot of sanding, scraping and re puttying the windows and doors. They now look almost brand new especially the garage door. His prices are very competitive and much better than the big paint consolidating chains. We will have him back to refinish our kitchen cabinets. You can trust Eric to do a first class job."

"Noel and his assistant Dave were excellent.They painted the house, fence and all our outdoor wrought iron furniture. Their price was beyond fair. They were professional yet friendly. They went over and above their contract. We are so pleased with them that any further painting to be done in our home will be without question Noel’s company."

"Tom and Matt did an outstanding job refinishing the hardwood floors in my 100-yr-old house. Their work is clean and meticulous. Before sanding, they covered all walls and countertops with sheets of plastic and taped up all gaps beneath doors to prevent sawdust from getting into other parts of the house. It took a while, but they were able to remove most of the old pet urine stains in the hardwood floor of the kitchen. They even took the time to hand-sand between coats of polyurethane. You can't go wrong with these guys. They're conscientious, seem to take great pride in their work, and offer really fair pricing. In addition to refinishing the floors, they're painting several rooms and will also be painting the exterior of my house when it gets a little warmer."

"The painters were prompt, more than prompt, friendly--and so careful--both with the power washing and the painting. They were also efficient. Power Washing one day--all the repair and painting the next. Special kudos to the kind and meticulous foreman Hus. Our little house has never looked so good. And so pleased my husband at 74 no longer had to scale those ladders. Totally happy."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

The plastic in composite decking boards protects them enough that you do not need to paint them to prevent warping. In fact, painting composite decking voids the warranty of some manufacturers. Painting can also increase maintenance on the deck, as you must paint regularly to keep it looking its best.

The opposite is actually true: Wood stains tend to appear lighter when they’re fully dry. However, stains may darken as they weather and oxidize with age. Stains might also darken on surfaces left in direct sunlight, as UV rays can break down pigment particles and cause them to darken over time.

You should refinish your deck to maintain its appearance, durability, and longevity. Refinishing your deck protects the wood from foot traffic and the elements. It also helps extend its life span by keeping rot, mildew, and termites at bay. By maintaining your deck, you can avoid the cost of replacing your deck sooner. A refinished deck also looks great and restores some of its original beauty.

You can use latex or acrylic paint outdoors. Although acrylic paint tends to last longer outside, it also costs more, so if you’re painting the outside of your house, for instance, latex paint is often a go-to option. However, acrylic will be your best choice if you want to spend some extra money for added durability.

Constant exposure to inclement weather conditions can damage your deck, causing it to fade, warp, or crack over time. Regular maintenance keeps it looking and performing its best. That means giving it a good cleaning and applying a quality sealant or wood treatment to help defend against moisture, sun damage, and everyday wear.
