"Prior to having Dan come out I received several quotes from other contractors listed on Angie's List, but I was not comfortable with their proposals and level of painting knowledge.  After meeting Dan, I felt completely confident that he understood what I was looking to do with the job and was willing to ensure that I would be happy with the results after the job was completed.  Although his bid was not the lowest, I decided to move forward with Dan due to his knowledge, customer focus and willingness to back up his work with a 3 year warranty.

We arranged a start time, and his team was right on schedule.  His work leader, John, met with me before getting started and detailed what would be done each day and the approximate timeline.  John is a professional who has been painting a long time and knows the difference between the right way and the quick, easy way.  At every stage of the process, I felt completely comfortable that the crew knew what they were doing and would make sure the job was done right. 

Due to some rainy and windy conditions, it took about 2 weeks to get the entire job completed.  We did encounter some small issues along the way, but after speaking with Dan all of my concerns were addressed and corrected quickly and fairly.  Dan's only concern was my complete satisfaction with the work, and this was evident in every conversation. 

My house looks incredible now, and I would recommend Dan and his crew to anyone who is looking for a professional team that gets the job done the right way.

"Excellent work, professional and very friendly.  I would recommend to anyone looking for power washing services.  I have larger stucco house with large deck and patio.  Steve and Ray did an outstanding job.  They walked the property after they completed service with me to ensure I was satisfied.  I highly recommend this company."

"Bob was very responsive - returning my first call the same day. He stopped over and gave me a very reasonable estimate. The work was performed promptly - the walls and deck look great. Very happy with this service."

"This past September I had a small incident in my upstairs bathroom and my toilet overfilled and dumped water all over the floor. Since my tile is was laid all the way back in the 90s I've had quite a few cracks on them, through which water sipped through by the time I got to it. Few days later I noticed that the drywall over the kitchen table ceiling began to bulk and a large yellow stain appeared. Since I knew that I did not have an active leak I figured I need to reach out to a painting company to address the area. I contacted LHI Painting and a very nice young man came out to look at the area. I thought that maybe the job would be too small for them if I only wanted the ceiling repaired so I asked to give me a quote on reprinting the walls in the room as well. The nice man actually tried to talk me out of reprinting the walls since they were worked on only several years ago and as I mentioned to him I was retired. He also mentioned that I will be receiving a 15% senior citizen discount at the end of the project which was very nice of him to mention. After getting a quote, the number I was given was low enough for me to proceed with doing the repairs and refreshing the walls. The gentleman that came out to do the project was also very pleasant and polite. He completed the project to a perfection and made perfect cuts which my last painting company did not do a very good job at. This is a great company that cares about senior citizens and does what they can to those who need it. Chivalry is existent in this company and I wish them many more years of success."

"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 recently had my house painted on the outside, second floor. W N estimate was the lowest and the most reasonable. We set up a date and W N staff of 3 men came and completed the job which included scraping, priming and painting. A few days later I noticed a very small part which I failed to notify them that I wanted painted. I text Westley and he asked me to send a picture, which I did. He apologized because it was not painted which was unnecessary since it was totally my fault. The very next day his crew arrived and fixed my problem without charging me extra. I was so impressed with this company that I asked for 2 more estimates for my daughter and me. Westley was so professional and wanted only that I was happy with the job. His staff was polite, efficient and cleaned up without leaving a trace. I appreciated the fact that this company got back to me immediately whenever I called. I would recommend this company without any hesitation."

"I hired Dominic's Painting to paint the entire exterior of my old (1700's) colonial home in the Summer of 2017. This was a very big project and they did such a fantastic job that I hired them once again to paint (and wallpaper) the interior of my house in late 2017. I was totally satisfied with all the work that they did. They were punctual, hardworking and very professional at all times. I had gotten several other job estimates before hiring them and their price was the most reasonable for the work. John is a pleasure to work with and I have no hesitation in recommending this company to anyone who needs either interior or exterior paining done. I particularly recommend them for the difficult job of painting an old home. My home needed a lot of plastering and special care and nothing was a problem for them. They went above and beyond my expectations-always ready to do anything that was needed. Check this company out before you hire anyone else!"

"I contacted Nolan after a previously engaged painter scratched on short notice. Nolan cqme the same day I called and issued an estimate that day. When I accepted it that day, Nolan started work the next day. Impressive! Nolan quoted two weeks for the job and, using a crew of 1-4 painters, they finished on time. Their prep was thorough, masking wood floors, patching drywall imperfections, and deglazing the trim. They sprayed the trim - three coats - then brushed and rolled the walls - two coats. Their cleanup was as thorough as their prep. The results look great."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

Two coats of stain are ideal for the best protection and aesthetic appeal. However, if your decking is made of particularly dense hardwood, you may only need one coat. If you want an intense color, two coats are ideal.

It's okay to walk on a newly painted deck after about four to six hours as long as the weather has been dry. Be sure to wait at least 24 hours before you place any outdoor furniture or grills on a freshly painted deck, though.

While the answer varies based on weather, 10 a.m. is a good time to start painting. The dew will have dried, meaning there’s no moisture on the house, and the temperature will likely be moderate and the sunlight less direct. Starting mid-morning should also give you enough daylight and pleasant weather to work on the job for several hours.

It’s best to use an exterior latex acrylic paint to promote maximum adhesion to composite decking. This flexible paint type can better cope with the natural expansion and contraction that can occur with composite deck boards. Oil-based paints won’t adhere as effectively and are more likely to crack and peel as the boards flex. Testing whether your chosen paint will stick on an inconspicuous section or a spare board is a good idea.
