"The crew did a very good job on the work.  Very detailed oriented, no carelessness seen in the painting, trim lines were sharp and well done.  I was able to watch the crew a couple days near the end of the day and they were walking around carefully checking their work to make sure nothing was missed, touching up spots that needed work and didn't seem in a hurry to leave just because the day was close to an end.  On the last day they even took a moment to fix a loose door handle on a storm door that they came across that I hadn't noticed.
As far as cost comparison, the quotes for the work was in the middle of the range from the other operators but this isn't a completely apples to oranges comparison as Action Painting and Repair's quote on the painting project had more detail on the prep work and included some carpentry repair cost upfront whereas the other operators statement of work and cost quote was more vague and just seemed to be painting and power washing.  The quote cost for the gutter install was in line with other quotes I received.
Importantly, the owner/operator, Matthew White, promptly returned phone calls and emails and also showed up for quotes and work reviews when he said he would.  His crews showed up when they said they would and never left a mess behind. 
This is contrast to the three other operators I contacted for quotes.  One didn't return my call for a week, after I had selected Action Painting and another no called no showed for the first contact quote.

"Mr. Reese was very professional. He checked the house for necessary repairs before beginning the job and provided various options for repairs. He replaced soffits, caulked, repaired or replaced damaged wood, painted wrought iron, removed and replaced shutters, removed gutters and patched roof. He completed the job on time and at a reasonable price. I would definitely use him again."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Provided conditions are ideal, staining an entire deck should take as little as a couple of hours and up to a couple of days to apply and cure. Additional procedures, like sealing a deck or using additional treatments, may extend the project by a few additional days.

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.

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

A wood deck requires annual cleaning and regular inspections for loose or broken boards, nails, and screws. It should be refinished by applying a stain or sealer every two to three years to protect the wood from water damage, rot, mildew, and sun fading. The exact frequency can depend on the climate and the deck's exposure to sun and moisture. If your deck is painted, it will need repainting approximately every 10 years. Signs that your deck needs refinishing include faded, splintering, or warping boards.

Avoid using cleaning products that are abrasive or contain bleach or acidic components on composite decking to avoid discoloration. Early-generation Trex decking isn’t designed to handle pressure washer cleaning—and if you use them on second-generation boards, always use a low setting to avoid the risk of damage that can risk voiding your warranty.
