"John was very professional, punctual, quick, and extremely skilled. I had gotten a few quotes. He was very honest and fair. He is a very hard worker and the work was perfect. He even painted a few areas on the stairwell that were not evenly matched. He was a lifesaver actually. I highly recommend John at Dominic’s Painting."

"Rick and his crew were absolutely fantastic. Extremely responsive and explained everything to me as we went. I had just closed on a new home and had them come in to fix up the walls, ceilings, trim, etc. I went out of town for the holidays and they worked while I was gone. When I returned the place looked amazing and the house was in better shape than when they arrived. Don t bother looking anywhere else, call Rick today!"

"Pat and his team were, by and large, fantastic. They executed on all aspects of the original quote flawlessly. The ribbon pointing around the stonework, especially in the front part of the house, turned out very nice. We're extremely happy with how the masonry looks. It went so smoothly, we added additional work onto the quote to seal the concrete and touch up paint along the exterior of the house. The painting wasn't as neat or clean as it could have been - it's probably a little step above what I could have done. Mostly importantly, when we encountered a couple of problems along the way, they were responsive and went above and beyond to sort it out. I think they approached the whole project very well, and even worked with us on the price for the add-ons. All-in-all, super solid work from a super solid contractor. Highly recommended."

"They really are not that good because the work they did started to deteriorate quickly after they did it. They came back and resolved the problem but they also did additional work; they really are not the best painters. The price was very reasonable and they also did some exterior painting for me as well. The interior painting was not as professional as I thought it could have been but they were quick to respond to my needs. They were punctual."

"Excellent! First time using this firm but it won't be the last. One of the most professional painters we have hired. Our 94 year old home has been extensively renovated over the 57 years I have lived here. This man was the first to contact us for a quote out of 3 potential businesses. He traveled quite a distance to do our work. His work was beautiful...very detailed, very professional. I wish we would have found him earlier. Finally, a painter that knows "how" to paint. Thank you Antonio for helping us out. I might also mention, we increased the amount of work we wanted done and it was no problem for Antonio and he did NOT price it out of our budget. Truly, a pleasure to work with."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.

Essential tools include brushes or rollers, drop cloths, sandpaper or power sanders, and appropriate cleaning supplies. Quality materials ensure long-lasting results.

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

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.
