"SHORT REVIEW: You couldn't ask for a better painter! 2nd job DS Painting did for us and we couldn't be more pleased! DETAILED REVIEW: Derek painted a room for us 8 years ago when we purchased an Angie's List deal for his company. We were so impressed with his work ethic, personality, and the quality of his work that we kept his name on file. We recently moved into an existing home that needed to be completely painted: ceilings, walls, and trim. We were out of Derek's normal service area but took a chance that he would accept the project since it was a whole house. He accepted...YAY! As expected, he and his coworker, Mike, were AMAZING. Every surface of our home was covered with a drop cloth or plastic (cabinets); every outlet cover and register removed; every doorknob, hinge, and light fixture taped or covered so paint would not get on them. We gave Derek a key to the house and stayed out of his way. We were so pleased with the progress. We found out that Derek does tile work, so we asked him to also add a tile backsplash in our kitchen. That turned out great as well. The only evidence that they were even there was the BEAUTIFUL paint and backsplash: They cleaned everything up and even vacuumed the floors before they left. I will be saving up and trying to get enough work together to convince Derek to come out to us one more time for bathroom tile and anything else that he does. Honestly the best contractor (painting or otherwise) that I have had the pleasure of working with. Thank you, Derek and Mike!"

"I waited a couple months to write this review specifically because i wanted to see how my patio held up after getting such an amazing price. I've dealt with many contractors before and Miguel and Amaya Construction are fantastic. They answered my phone calls, they texted back right away and really do whatever they can to help and get you what you want. They came on time every day, they cleaned up really well and the end result was a fantastic looking Patio and Firepit for a price i could not find anywhere else."

"Happy customer here! I contacted Lewis Painting based on the reviews here and am glad that I did. Our house looks great. Trim work is crisp and clean and the house looks brand new. They worked carefully but quickly between rain showers. If the weather held them up one day, they worked double time the next. Todd made sure that we were happy with the work done before leaving - and we were. This is a nice hard working local business that takes pride in their work. I would absolutely recommend them."

"I purchased my home in November. The exterior looked like it had not been cleaned in years. Ashley, the project manager was friendly and helpful when I called. She booked an appointment for a quote with the owner the same day. Two days later, Chris showed up with another guy named Chris ... did a wonderful job. They were friendly and courteous, and worked efficiently. They were thorough in the cleaning process. I have a two story single home with two decks and a large staircase, approximately 1,600 sq ft in all. It took them about 3 hours to fully complete the job ... and I had a few trouble spots they seemed to breeze through effortlessly. The results were stunning. They exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend their services! Great job guys!"

"The "Big Deal" water powered backup sump pump would not work in my home without additional work/cost so I decided not to proceed with the installation at this time. The people I spoke with were pleasant to deal with but I rated the overall experience a 'C' because the project never went beyond the sales phase and I cannot fairly judge the quality of the work."

"D&BC Painting is one of the best companies I've hired to do my painting jobs, Dennis does an excellent work, very skillful and professional. Recently they just finished one of my kitchen's cabinets and the outcome was extremely delightful. The white color was like if it was the first original paint on the cabinets. Very impressed!!!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Hangers are one way of attaching stair stringers to a deck. These metal hangers are usually adjustable, allowing you to find the ideal angle for a secure installation. They’re the best choice for installing longer staircases, such as one on a two-story deck, to reduce the load on the deck frame while keeping the stairs stable.

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. 

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.

You may be wondering: can you paint cement? Fortunately, the answer is yes.

To change the color of your cinder blocks, you have two options. You can either paint them or stain them. Either way, you'll be able to choose from a wide range of color options. Some popular colors for cinder block painting include off-white shades and gray tones, which add a modern spin to the traditional gray blocks.

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.
