"Robert was incredibly helpful and my new home looks much more inviting. I was new to this process and he was quite patient and helpful. He painted the ceilings, colored bedroom and an accent wall, and put a new coat over the off-white walls, and probably saved me a lot of future cleaning anguish by putting an eggshell finish in the kitchen. He met him the day I closed (a Friday), I picked out colors over the weekend, and he got in and finished the job on Tuesday, well before my move-in. Highly recommended!"

"Baci Painting is the absolute BEST! They transformed our home from dark walls to light and bright (including all trim). We had our entire home painted and if we had more walls to paint we would hire Baci Painting again. I would recommend Baci Painting to anyone looking for top quality, care and service for your home. Top notch!"

"I was interviewing painters for my 3 BR home. I was mortified by the lack of professionalism and attention to detail I had encountered prior to meeting Bob. I knew instantly upon meeting him that I would hire him. He is courteous, prompt, his rates are phenomenal and he is extremely trust worthy. He exceeded my expectations. He listened. I expressed my angst on choosing colors. I mentioned I wanted a grey color for the walls and he recommended a shade that WOW, it was exactly what I wanted. He nailed it. From there I was able to choose the other colors for accent wall, etc. He is a great conversationalist and was so great and patient with my very chatty 4 year old granddaughter. Honestly, he transformed my place and now looks like it should be in a magazine. He worked tirelessly. He is extremely neat and meticulous and I encourage anyone who needs painting work done, look no further. He is the real deal and the man to hire. I absolutely would hire him again and again."

"Five Star Painting provided terrific customer service and was extremely great to work with. Due to many unfortunate circumstances, we needed this job to be started and completed in a time-sensitive fashion (started within 7 days). Multiple companies scoffed at our time frame, saying that they could not start and finish a project so quickly. Finally, I found Five Star Painting. Bob at Five Star Painting informed me that he would be able to make an exception due to our situation, despite the current typical start time of 14 days. He made the necessary accommodations and completed the work quickly and at the time that we agreed. The only downside was that the initial paint job was not as clean as I had hoped, with some paint splatters (spots) on the door and window frames and moldings. I called Bob to express my dismay, and he quickly rectified the situation in a timely fashion. He drove to our home and made sure that all the blemishes were corrected and the paint job was truly pristine! It's easy to see that Bob runs a business where customer satisfaction is the top priority. I contacted him whenever I needed; never did I spend hours or days waiting for a reply. Communication was rapid and painless. He followed through on every agreement and commitment he made. Although the work was not perfect initially, he was quick to make amends and see that we were 100% satisfied. I recommend Five Star Painting to all my friends and family looking for professional painters who care about providing high-quality service and truly care about their customers."

"Hiring On the job painting for my painting project was one of the best decisions that I made. I purchased a new home and the interior of the home was painted very poorly, also, there were holes in the wall where pictures were previously hung and holes where TVs were mounted. I am very meticulous, therefore, it was extremely important for me to select the right painting company to complete my painting project. Also, I wanted to ensure that I selected a company that did superior patch work to ensure that the walls looked professionally painted. Keithâ s crew transformed my new home into a beautiful space. The entire interior of my home was painted and each room looks amazing. I highly recommend on the job painting and I will be using them in the future for all of my painting projects."

"My husband and I hired Edy’s Quality Painting to paint the entire interior of our home. We chose them after reaching out to multiple companies because their pricing was reasonable and customer service impeccable. Rich, the person responsible for organizing Edy’s schedule was the first person to get back to us and the only person to explain in detail what we could expect if we hired them. Rich is also so personable; I felt like I was talking to an uncle every time I spoke to him. Once we hired them, it was evident that Edy is a true artist who takes pride in his work. Edy is also very considerate; he made a special trip back to paint our floor molding, as he knew we were getting our floors refinished. We were so happy with their service we hired Edy to come back and paint our stair railing. Even then, he made a special trip to finish the railing to ensure the weather permitted proper drying. We plan to hire them again in the near future to paint our deck and highly recommend them overall."

"Took one day to prep and spackle, one day to paint. They did a very good job for the money, the guy onsite did a detailed job. It was better than the professional who did our upstairs bathroom. We will be using them again. Recommended.

Customers say: Quick response

"Could not be more satisfied and happy with both the job that was done and the professional manner in which everything was handled. Had our whole interior house painted included molding, window mouldings, ceilings, stairs and spindels and front door. Each day the workers came on time, were professional and friendly. Could not have asked for a better crew. Joe, the owner, came every day to check in, and even helped with the difficult task of selecting the colors for each of the rooms, often running back to the store for samples. He followed up many times with us always making sure we were happy with the job that was being done. Precise Painting is the way to go for all your painting needs."

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years.

Paint your fence, install customized fence slats, or attach a bamboo screen for a more appealing yard aesthetic. Paint can give your yard a unique and fun look, and adding fence slats gives you a classic fence appearance. Bamboo screens are probably the most unique option that can add a fun vibe to your space.

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.

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

Opt for an interior wood stain that is rated for your type of wood. Consider your personal style preferences as well as the overall use of the room when choosing a color. Remember, the color you see at the store may look different on your actual floors once applied. This is why if you have the chance, it’s helpful to test a few options on a scrap piece of wood in the room first. Once you narrow it down, you can test a small patch on an inconspicuous area in the room to see it on the actual floors.
