"It went well. We hired Chris Bodei to paint the ceilings in each room in our house, using a "distressed" technique to match the walls that I was painting (bad neck, so I hired out the ceilings). Chris is a master craftsman who has worked on many sophisticated paint projects over many years (including movie sets and hotel restoration), and he did a very nice job in our house. The color-mesh technique involved four colors applied simultaneously and lightly worked together to produce a distressed adobe effect. Chris is a meticulous painter, and in addition to being a fine artisan, he is extremely careful about not getting paint where it doesn't belong (his ability to cut-in around ceiling fixtures using a brush on a pole from the ground is something to see). We are very happy with the work."

"We are thrilled with the results. The work crew was always punctual, friendly, and careful. George, the crew leader, was extremely knowledgeable about all things related to making our house look its best. He even noticed that the weatherstripping around our front door was in bad shape and promptly replaced it after consulting with us. (We didn't think of that, so we are grateful for his attention to detail.) Herb Thorn, the owner of Guaranteed Painting, is wonderful. He is easy to reach and very nice! We are so impressed, in fact, that we have hired him again to do some remodeling work in our bathroom. We are confident that our bathroom project will turn out just as well as our house-painting project. We highly recommend Guaranteed Painting."

"Harald is great! He was able to accommodate my quick timeline. He painted the entire house and it looks wonderful. He was always willing to offer opinions on what would look best and what kind of paint/sheen to use. He was reasonably priced and pays a lot of attention to details. I would definitely hire again."

"The BDS team did an outstanding job staining/oiling our log cabin structures, which were in pretty bad shape. They went above and beyond our expectations. Don't hesitate to hire them: Honest, hardworking, experienced and efficient. Great job too cleaning up afterwards. Will hire them again!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

The best way to prepare your vinyl fence for a paint job is to clean it with warm, soapy water and rinse it with a hose or pressure washer on a low setting. Be sure to let it totally dry, then sand the surface before applying an epoxy-based primer. After the primer, you're ready to paint your vinyl fence.

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.

When applying multiple coats, wait four to six hours for each coat to dry. Not waiting long enough can result in streaks, peeling, and uneven color. Plus, it will be more difficult to discern where the second coat has already been applied.

Rags used with oil-based stains are highly flammable and can spontaneously combust in the right conditions. To reduce the fire risk, throw them in a metal container after use and add rocks on top to secure them. Add an inch of water and seal the container. Take the rags in the container to a hazardous waste factory as soon as possible.
