"Chris was wonderful to work with from start to finish. We hired Perfection Painting and Wallpapering to paint our entire downstairs and upstairs hallway, and the experience was seamless. Chris provided a transparent quote, he & his team arrived on time every single day, and completed the job ahead of schedule. Most importantly, the quality of work exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend Perfection Painting & Wallpapering."
"We had a very pleasant experience with Kevin & Ric from Herington Painting. They were prompt, courteous, and in constant communication with me during the entire time they were on the job. They did a great job staining the exterior of our house and took special care to cover our deck, awning and landscaping to protect them from any paint drips. We are very happy with the quality of their work and would recommend them to anyone in need of painting services."
"I recently hired C&M Painting to repaint the interior of my home, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, the team was professional, punctual, and highly skilled. They provided excellent color consultation, helping me choose the perfect shades for each room. The painters were meticulous in their preparation, ensuring that every surface was properly prepped and primed before applying the paint. The attention to detail was evident in every brushstroke, and the final result exceeded my expectations. Not only did they transform the look of my home, but they also completed the project ahead of schedule and within budget. I would highly recommend C&M Painting Company to anyone in need of top-notch painting services."
"For me to give a 5 star rating the job has to be perfect. I give these guys a 4.7 star rating. I'm very happy with the results, there were minor things that I needed to do that affected the rating. Paint or joint compound on the windows ( came off easily with a razor blade), paint droppings on the concrete for example. All the guys that were involved were excellent. Bottom line, I would use them again and would recommend them."
"Condor Painting just painted the cabinets in our kitchen. The quality of work is excellent. We are so pleased with the outcome. Fabio was professional and highly detailed. It was a pleasure doing business with him. We highly recommend Condor Painting."

"Hope saved me in a pinch when my rental property's ceiling collapsed. She referred me to a great drywall contractor, then did an excellent job painting the repair. You could never tell that there was ever an issue. I've worked many times with Hope over the years and look forward to giving her business in the years to come."
The best finish for wrought iron railings is either a semi-gloss or a gloss sheen, as each offers good durability against rain, wind, heat, cold, and snow.
Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.
Yes, you can waterproof any wood that has not already been treated. A good way to test this is to splash some water on it. If the water starts to bead up, the wood is treated and most likely doesn’t need another coating.
While the answer varies based on weather, 10 a.m. is a good time to start painting. The dew will have dried, meaning there’s no moisture on the house, and the temperature will likely be moderate and the sunlight less direct. Starting mid-morning should also give you enough daylight and pleasant weather to work on the job for several hours.
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.
