"Had a 8-10 week backlog due to pandemic, but finally got the work scheduled. Showed up on time. Reviewed scope of work and got to work straight away. I added several windows on back & side of house to be painted & caulked. Add-on work was rather expensive relative to initial proposal, but the windows are on upper floor. Work was good overall. On close inspection, some prep work could have been done better. One extra request to apply mullion tape to the seams of several double windows was only completed on one window, and the old tape was not completely removed, leaving the mullion seam looking poor. Skipping the other windows may have been the result of miscommunication on my part. Other work was done well. Clean-up was good."

"We are extremely happy with the job Francisco did. He is attentive to details like degreasing our kitchen cabinets before painting, using more than the usual plastic and drop cloths to keep our furniture dust free, and we appreciated the good communication and simply just being on time each morning. Hey the guy paints churches including ours! We will hire him again-no doubt."

"Proper Painting has done a lot of work throughout our home, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! They painted our 1,000+ sq. ft. in-law suite, including all the doors and windows, plus our entire main home and stairs. My spare room/office used to be a bright blue teal with black trim (my daughter’s old room), and they repainted it in Honey Wheat with white trim. Honestly, my expectations were low, but I was completely blown away by the final results. The team was always on time, courteous, and professional. The process was completely stress free, and the pricing was very fair. I just wish I had taken more photos of the process these are all I have! I highly recommend Proper Painting to anyone looking for quality work and a hassle free experience."

"We were still in Colorado when CertaPro painted the entire interior of our new house... floors, trim, doors, cabinets, the whole nine yards. They even took pictures, sent them to the office so the pictures could be sent to us! What a beautiful job! Kristie and Stephanie in the office and so sweet and helpful. John and John are great to work with. We would give 6 stars if we could!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

The best paint for an older deck depends on the material and whether or not your deck already has a coat of paint. Generally, if your deck already has paint on it, you should choose the same type of paint when repainting the deck. For example, if an old deck has oil-based paint on it, stick with oil; if your deck has water-based paint, choose water-based paint. 

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.

For homes in areas with extreme weather, high heat, or intense sun exposure, high-quality acrylic paint is the best option. Acrylic paint is durable, resistant to both heat and cold, and provides a protective barrier with excellent UV resistance. For best results, look for acrylics that contain natural earth pigments, which are better suited for resisting sun damage. While oil-based paint is also durable, it can be prone to fading in high heat and can become too viscous to apply easily in cold temperatures. Additionally, choosing a neutral or light color like gray, beige, or white can help, as these colors absorb less heat than darker shades.

Oxygen bleach uses hydrogen peroxide as a base and won’t harm wood when using it as a cleaner. On the other hand, chlorine bleach breaks down wood at the cellular level and causes irreversible harm. Although you may not see immediate damage to wood after exposing it to chlorine bleach, its strength and integrity are now compromised.

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.
