"My husband and I had a more complex project, which included painting the inside of a 5200 square feet house, staining beams and staircase, and adding additional work as the project went on. CertaPro was very professional, reliable, and took pride in their work. They were helpful in guiding us on our project in terms of what colors, stains, and additional ways to add extra character to our home. They even helped correct uneven walls, cracks, and baseboards. We are obsessed with how our home looks and will definitely use Craig and his team again! Definitely recommended!"

"I got in touch with this person on the recommendation of a friend. He showed me examples of his work and gave me an estimate. Once we agreed on the price, we arranged for him to paint my 5-bedroom house. It’s very clear that he’s a master at his craft. He’s punctual and works very neatly. He’s definitely someone I’ll stay in touch with if I need his services again in the future. I highly recommend him."

"STOP-- if your looking for a professional painting contractor, look no further. you just found one. Donald and his crew prepared and painted 2 coats of paint to the exterior of our house. It is a  5 bedroom brick with a lot of wood trim, a rather large job. he started and was finished as per his estimate, there were no " I need more money requests "  as is common with others. also, they sealed and stained a new deck. he is not happy, until you are with his work.no down payments for the job, you pay only when you are happy and they are done. he actually answers the phone, unlike others you call and your call goes straight to voice mail. I would use his company again."

"JDN Painting recently completed painting the exterior of our three story house in Highland Park. We could not be more pleased with the results. Jordan did a beautiful job. He paid meticulous attention to detail. The process was seamless from beginning to end. The project was started on time, and was actually finished a day early. We hired JDN to paint our house because of their five star reviews, and were pleased to learn that their expertise does not stop with painting. After viewing their portfolio, we were so impressed that we engaged JDN to rebuild our twenty-five foot long privacy fence, as well as repair and stain our deck. This company is the real deal."

"

When our wooden attic ladder fell out of the ceiling during the coldest days of February, we couldn't get some contractors to come out and give us an estimate to fix it.  We had 2 no-shows and many who did not return our calls.  So we lived for a couple weeks with our attic door propped up with a 2 by4 and a ladder.

HOWEVER, when we searched Angie's list and identified Always Perfect Contracting, Zach came out right away, gave us some advice about what to do and scheduled a date to deliver the work. 

Zach did everything he promised on time and within budget. So we asked him to do a second job of installing molding around a new skylight.  We had asked several previous contractors to look at the skylight.  They had no satisfactory solutions about how to tackle the tricky trim work because it was not even on all sides..  Zach immediately knew what to do, and made the finished trim appear as if it's even on all sides.  He did an amazing great job on the molding, and I am extremely happy with the result..

"Great! The crew arrived on time both days, completed the work with a high degree of quality, attention to detail, AND completed on-schedule! It was a big, messy job to grind off 10+ layers of old, peeling paint from concrete flooring/steps and sandstone "caps" on the brick "pony" walls that surround the porch. They were careful of brickwork, landscaping and cleaned up after themselves, Overall, they did a fantastic job. Looking forward to many nice days on the porch this summer."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, beginners can use a paint sprayer, but there is a learning curve. It's important to go slowly, read the instructions thoroughly, and spend some time learning the technique. Watching tutorial videos for your specific paint sprayer model can be very helpful. Before starting your main project, practice on a scrap surface to get used to the sprayer and avoid common issues like overspraying, which can cause drips, bubbles, and other imperfections. For safety, always wear a mask and gloves, and be careful not to touch the sprayer's tip when it's in use, particularly with high-powered airless sprayers.

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

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.

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.

Opt for an interior wood stain that is rated for your type of wood. Consider your personal style preferences as well as the overall use of the room when choosing a color. Remember, the color you see at the store may look different on your actual floors once applied. This is why if you have the chance, it’s helpful to test a few options on a scrap piece of wood in the room first. Once you narrow it down, you can test a small patch on an inconspicuous area in the room to see it on the actual floors.
