"I would recommend A&P Painting as the best choice. Not only is the owner Peter Reid friendly, prompt, reliable and professional his estimate was the lowest among five we collected. Not only was his pricing the most competitive but his bid was the only to call out industrial grade material suitable for repainting pool and balcony decks. Additionally, his price included a high quality acrylic paint by Dunn Edwards, higher quality material than the other bids. When it came time to do the job, he put four men on the site and they performes the highest quality workmanship completing the entire project in one day. All work areas were protected against staining and the cleanup was completed perfectly. I worked in the home building industry for 22 years so I know quality material and workmanship when I see it. One can't do any better than A&P Painting and Roofing. Already highly rated by Angi before our job, our job just proves once again the rating is well deserved."
"Hired Ricardo Borjas to paint interior rooms and repair baseboards. His painter did such a great job (fast, neat...no paint splatters) that I asked him to paint entire exterior of house. This included exterior walls and doors and patio cover. Job was done neatly and house looks beautiful. Borjas is not the cheapest but you get what you pay for. My job was done well and done fast. Highly recommend!"
"Arrived on time. They moved all of the furniture, painted, and moved everything back. Did a great job. The only issue I had was that next time I would ask to have the baseboards painted as well. The previous owner's paint job was not great, so when Pro Quality Painters painted over it, their clean paint lines did not cover up where the last paint job was messed up. However, that was not their fault. Overall this was a great experience! "
"The paint on my front door was badly faded from the desert sun, with paint chipped around the frame. The stucco in the decorative area around the frame had small chipped areas also. After creating a project on Angie's List and requesting bids, I got a prompt response from DK with a reasonable estimate. They showed up on time, did a color match, and began work promptly. They were very careful about properly masking everything, and did a great job of putting things back and cleaning up afterwards. They did a great job on the paint. The door looks better than brand new. They were absolutely professional, and courteous, friendly and informative. I will certainly call them again for future painting."
"They have done a magnificent job. They are amazing. They are professional and it was an interior paint job. They painted the wall, ceilings, baseboards and doors. They also assisted with choosing the colors that I should go with. I will highly recommend them"
"I have used G&S in the past to paint the interior of my house. And just like the first time, they did a great job with this second project. We used them to stain a wood entertainment center we had built into our house. They were prompt in coming in for the estimate and finished the job within hours. Quality is great and their price was very reasonable. We plan on using them to stain our kitchen cabinets in the near future. We are highly satisfied with their work. "
"Very professional company, I have used them in the past. The staff is friendly and very helpful. My homeowners association uses them as well for painting. I highly recommend A to Z painting. "
"Miguel, came over and looked and asked questions and actually decided to do it differently than what I wanted. Smart man. First he scrapped all the stuff left over from the original fake wood surround. Then cleaned the area and tested the paint I got. We were both pretty sure it was semi gloss under all that sun worn exterior and I thought it would not match the colour. He found that it did and painted the area feathering it into the original paint job. It looks so good. Now I will have much more time to decide if I need a real wood surround to make my rather plain Home more "with it" I am planning on using him to paint the interior as soon as I pay my yearly taxes to the feds. "
"I would hire Victor again in a heartbeat. Nicely done and great attention to detail. The original work involved patching and painting a patio and painting intricate entryway gate and window grates, all of which he did perfectly. I was so pleased, I had Victor tackle some stone masonry on our patio pillars. Likewise, his work was perfect."

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.
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.
The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.
Typically, a fence requires one to two coats of stain. The exact number can vary depending on the porosity of the wood. For specific guidance, it's best to check the manufacturer's instructions. After applying the first coat and letting it dry completely, you can assess the finish. If it appears patchy, uneven, or you want a more saturated color, a second coat is recommended. An extra coat can also help cover lap marks.
