"I hired H&D Custom Painting to strip, repair and paint the exterior trim, doors and carport as I readied my home for sale. I was impressed with the care and meticulous attention to detail that Hakim and Donna brought to the project. This was not a "slap a coat of paint on and call it a day" operation. H&D stayed within their estimate, completed the work within the deadline requested while managing work on days when weather permitted. They provided excellent results. H&D understood that mine was a historic property and treated the home and project with extreme care. They also focused on little details that most would have ignored or disregarded - as examples, they painted and refreshed the locksets on the exterior doors and touched up other door hardware without being asked. Overall, H&D provided an exceptional customer experience. I have hired them again for another project at a different property."

"Starting with providing the estimate, everyone was very punctual and professional.   There were a few issues, however Dan Collins corrected them immediately.   I had confidence the job would be completed to my expectations and they were.   I would use Dan Collins painting again.

"I hired Steve to paint the exterior brick on my home. I was a little apprehensive as I knew painting brick can be difficult. Steve responded to my inquiry very quickly and provided a written quote within one day. He was professional, on time, neat and clean. Price was fair and work was expertly done. I would highly recommend Steve"

"From our very first interaction with our AWESOME estimator, Rob, the process couldn't have gone more smoothly with Declan and Chris doing the install and on through to dealing with their billing department for payment.  We especially appreciated their product knowledge in helping us select the best shutter for our needs and the best color too.  We did have a rain delay from the original install date, but communications were great and a new date set asap.  All interactions with employees have been professional and courteous, and Declan even accommodated a change we needed to do day of install which saved us money.  We just moved into a new home and are very unhappy with the quality of the painted finishes, so will definitely be calling Nolan Painting when we are ready to get it re-done correctly.  We also had our outside Christmas lights done by their "Shine" division last year.  What a great service since I don't want my husband climbing ladders to the roof and he didn't want to do it anyway.  Nolan Painting does much more than just painting and so far everything I've seen has been top notch!!!

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, you must thoroughly clean your deck before staining. If you don't, dirt, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped between the wood and the new stain. This not only looks unsightly but also prevents the stain from penetrating the wood properly, reducing its ability to protect the deck from weather and UV rays. As a result, the stain won't last as long or look as good. Any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning for the wood to dry completely before applying stain.

Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint. 

If your biggest concern is making sure your deck doesn’t show dirt, opt for a darker neutral color that blends in well with your surrounding landscape. A rich brown or dark grey are both good options that work with a variety of house colors. A high-quality acrylic paint is easy to clean and maintain, so it might be worth spending the money on.

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

Here's the deal with leaving used rags covered in oil-based stain lying around in a pile: Depending on the conditions, these rags can take just an hour or up to a few days to combust. The source of ignition is caused by trapped heat that can be compounded if the rags are near a heat source.
