"From the very moment I received a quote to the completion of the painting project, this business was outstanding to work with. Richard provided awesome communication; and he and Tony were punctual, skilled, efficient, and totally committed to quality work - right down to the very last details (even going above and beyond). They spent lots of time on prep (power washing and patching) and checked in with me frequently. The whole process was just so easy and painless, and I'm so happy with the finished product! The end result far exceeded my expectations...The house looks like new. For a certainty, Select Painting Services has my highest recommendation. - Thank you, Richard and Tony."

You typically don’t need a railing and handrails on a deck that’s less than 30 inches from the ground. However, consider adding them regardless.
