"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."

"A phenomenally positive experience. Francisco, the owner, was extremely helpful and always easy to reach. His crew did excellent work and came reliably, exactly when they said they would. They were meticulous about protecting floors and furnishing and always cleaned up at the end of the day. Also, they worked quietly (no radio, etc) which I appreciated greatly as I work from home. The painters spoke very little English and I speak no Spanish. But Francisco was always immediately reachable by phone if something needed to be communicated and he stopped by most days. Last, but certainly not least. We got three estimates and New Era's was the lowest."

"Eric from WePaint is great. I had pine doors and poplar wood trim that were poorly stained (by myself). Eric came and stripped the doors and poplar, restained all the wood, and put a coat of poly on it all. Very thorough and detaile orientated (like myself) - his hard work removing all the of layers of old stain was great. He salvaged a really poor staining job that I did. Would definitely recommend, friendly and funny guy too. Knows his stuff. Would definitely have Eric do more work. A pleasure."

"Good as Gold brought my two level deck back to life. They used the highest quality materials and supplies. The deck boards are median cocoa color, spindles and railings white. I love the contrast. It s a master piece! Greg was so great to work with. I will have them back to do more work inside the home."

"Karl and his crew are phenomenal. They show up when they say they are going to show up and always finish the job on time. A lot of contractors you feel you need to keep an eye on or keep on track - not Karl and his crew. I can’t say enough about them. I have used them numerous times over the past 4 years for painting and other jobs and not once have I been disappointed, it’s been the exact opposite. His work is second to none. I would be happy to give reference. My cell is 215.913.8615"

"I feel sorry for amyone that had an opportunity to work with this family owned, local business, and wind up using someone else. Ive had an amazing experience with Jay, his brother Serge and the crew that worked on my home for 3 weeks. They have worked closely with my designer and painted the entire home. We also found out that they do carpemtry too and had them do the ceiling trays in the great room. I will be recomending them to all of my family. Terrific job LHI!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Whether you can paint over your existing paint depends on what’s on there. Most of the time, you’ll want to sand down or scrape off the paint that’s currently coating your surface. Epoxy paint, for example, won’t let new paint stick to the surface. Latex paint is more forgiving and will accept a new coat, but a primer is recommended if you’re switching colors.

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. 

Limewash and whitewash do not harm surfaces if you apply them correctly. Use on non-suitable surfaces can cause issues. For instance, applying limewash or whitewash to surfaces with existing sealants or incompatible materials may lead to poor adhesion or flaking. Also, harsh cleaning agents on limewashed or whitewashed surfaces can damage the finish. Proper preparation, application, and maintenance ensure that limewash and whitewash do not harm surfaces.

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

Yes, it's a good idea to sand the wall with fine-grit sandpaper after spackling, especially if you plan on painting. You can do this by hand or using a sander, but the idea is to ensure the spackle is flush with the wall. Sanding will give your wall a smooth, uniform finish and help your paint and wallpaper stay put.
