"Jason and his team did a top-notch job on their project for us. The exterior of our house needed to be repainted. Jason was quick to give us a quote when we requested it. He was in communication with us on the timing of when the project would begin (there were several rain delays). Once the project started they were dedicated to our project and were very professional. They did a great job prepping, pressure washing, scraping off old peeling paint, caulking around windows, and even fixing a few spots where some of the wood had rotted. We were very happy with how everything turned out! I would highly recommend Jason and his team!"

"Worked with Makayla to get an estimate - the entire process was extremely professional and detailed! I did not end up going through with the drywall and painting project due to personal reasons not related to this group. I would highly recommend this team as I have seen the work they have done for some of my relatives!"

"Highly professional and friendly individuals. They painted most of the exterior and partially the interior of our house. A little more flexibility would have made it ideal for me, yet overall I am very happy with the work."

"The walls had many issues it was painted in a flat off white to hide all the problems.They had to resurface the entire area in the kitchen and other areas then sand to make the walls look normal again before starting to paint. They prepped very well so as not to get paint or dust from sanding on any of your items and took whatever time was needed to complete the project in a beautiful manner and no unexpected fees added after the original quote, They cleaned up everything before they left were very respectful at all times and the areas of the house they painted look great. I'd like to have them back when I can afford to paint the other rooms mostly on the 2nd floor. I would highly recommend them."

"Max and his crew came in and painted our whole condo, ceilings, doors walls and trim. Did an excellent job and got it completed in less than half the time that others quoted. I would definitely hire them again, and I highly recommend them."

Painting questions, answered by experts

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.

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.

Manufacturers use a different process and formula for exterior paint versus interior. The exterior formula has to withstand elements like temperature, UV lighting, moisture, wind, and debris. Interior paint doesn’t need to be as tough, only exposed to dust, scratches, dents, scuff marks, and the like.

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.

If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.
