"I have been using Dan Collins for over a year.  Last year, I bought a 16-year-old house that still had builder's grade white paint throughout the interior.  I arranged for a painter, who changed his mind on the day he was supposed to start. I received Dan's contact information, called him that same morning, and he was out to look at the house that afternoon. It was a large job - 2400+ square feet, with every wall, ceiilng, and piece of trim, crown molding, chair rails, etc. needing to be painted.  He knew I was under a time crunch to get the work done and even though he had other jobs on his calendar, he still managed to put together a crew of 14 guys to come in over the weekend, set up scaffolding where needed, get a huge jump-start on the project.  He made sure there were at least 3 guys at my house every weekday, and then arranged for another large group to come in the following weekend.  The quality of the workmanship was nothing short of excellent.  His guys were polite, respectful, hardworking, diligent, and every single day they cleaned up their entire work area.  About 5 months later, I had his guys come back to paint our staircase, banisters, and the second floor railing which overlooks the first floor family room.  Again, another excellent job.  Most recently (2 weeks ago) I had his guys back again to paint the exterior trim around all our windows, our garage door, front door, two rear doors (one requiring repair due to wood rot), and once again, excellent work.  In the fall, we will bring Dan back in to paint our finished basement.  I wouldn't use anyone else!"

"This company did a very good job painting my rooms, but they have to come back to finish installing my door. It was not done correctly the first time. They haven't done a lot of work for me, but they were very professional, on time and polite in my home. I did find them a bit pricey for the service that they provided but they do provide all of the materials which helps the customer a lot."

"Finishing Touch Painting & Power Washing was very responsive and knowledge able. Previously we had stained our deck and wanted to use some of the newer deck paints. They were very helpful and knew which of the products worked well and which ones did not work so well. The extra prep work they did was excellent and our deck looks great. Best it has looked in years. They also painted all the exterior trim on our house and did a great job power washing. Everything looks very nice and we are pleased. The folks at Finishing Touch Painting & Power Washing were all very nice and I would use them again."

"I decided to replace all of the drywall in my 1st floor bathroom. It had some uneven spots on the walls from nails poking out from the drywall and several water stains on the ceiling from accidents (Grandsons) in the 2nd floor bathroom. I went on Angie's List to look for highly rated contractors and foound JA Drywall. I called them last Thursday and Juan answered the phone. I told him what I thought I needed done and asked for an estimate. He came out later that afternoon and we discussed the work. He gave me three options for the work and the price for each. I decided to go work the complete removal of all the existing drywall (Ceiling and walls) in the room, istallation of green board throughout and all spackling and sanding for a ready to paint finish.Agreed price was $800.00.  He agreed to start the following Monday.
   Monday morning his crew arrived and in less than 2 hours had removed all existing drywall and completely cleaned up the space. They then pointed out several framing issues in the room and agreed to stop work and allow me to correct these problems with a promise to returnwhen I was ready.
Tuesday morning I completed the corrections to the framing adding a couple of studs and better securing several others. I called Juan around Noon and he agreed to send his crew back the next day.
Wednesday morning thru to his word the crew arrived and within a couple of hours the room was completely rerocked and ready for taping. They called the taper and within an hour he was at the house applying the 1st layer of tape a spackle.
As agreed he came again Thursday and Friday morning and completed the spackling and sanding each time completely cleaning up after his work. The f
nished product looks great.   I need to ppoint out that everone connected with this company was friendly, polite and very professional. Yhey covered all areas with clean tarps and vacuumed all areas near where they worked.
I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for this kind of service. They were prompt, neat and very professional refusing payment until all work was completed. A great experience.

"I previously had my house power washed by someone else. However, some chipped and peeling paint remained. Wesley's guys scrapped, pointed and caulked before painting. The 3 guys did an excellent job! The men were polite and cleaned up very well afterwards. I will definitely use them again."

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.

If you have wood decking, there are several common deck problems that you might encounter. For example, your natural wood boards may fade over time due to things like sunlight, weather, and debris. On top of that, some types of wood decking can rot, grow mold, and attract destructive pests—including termites, carpenter ants, and woodpeckers.

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.

If you have a smooth, already bonded concrete surface, painting a concrete pool deck can be a great way to brighten up the area and add longevity. If the surface has another covering or a different type of paint has been used previously, you won’t be able to paint it without removing the existing coating. Wooden decks benefit from painting as it helps to keep them watertight. Quality pool deck paints also help make the surface less slippery and less likely to gather mold and mildew or prematurely crack.

It’s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that’s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat.
