"Fabiano was a pleasure to work with. He was punctual when showing up to provide an estimate and to the project itself. He gave me accurate time lines and updates in real time when fixing my deck. After comparing 4 other contractors to replace my deck, Fabiano gave the best quote with no surprises and the estimate was spot on! I would absolutely recommend Fabiano for your next project"

"Steve called imediately after my request for painting contractors and was able to come by the house within a day or two to give an estimate. We wanted our 2-story foyer, upstairs hallways, ceiling and all of the baseboards/trim painted. We chose the paint color which would have been a disaster - Steve gave us his honest opinion of the color options that would look best and left the swatches with us to decide. He was so right. The job was done in a day-and-half and looks great. We could not be happier with the job he and Alvo did. You can't go wrong with hiring Steve!"

"Tom Heiler is a PRO! He was so easy to work with; very professional, thorough and clear. His crew was polite, meticulous and thorough. Despite a color mix-up, Tom corrected the problem immediately and they finished 2 days early! Which was a huge help because it was the week before Christmas. I highly recommend!"

The painters were methodical in their preparation, thoroughly protecting our household items. We were very happy with the finished product and will definitely hire him again for all our painting needs."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

When choosing between deck stain or paint, knowing what will last longer is important. Deck paint lasts longer than deck stain. With deck paint, you can get up to 10 years of coverage before you need to reapply. With deck stain, that time is significantly shorter at two to three years

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths

A properly applied coat of stain will last between 3 and 8 years, depending on your climate. If you live in a place where your fence experiences a lot of moisture or high heat, your stain will last for a shorter period than in more temperate conditions. We recommend reapplying stain every 3 to 5 years to keep your wood in good condition.

You can paint over old paint on a concrete porch. For the best results, you should first clean the surface and remove as much paint as you can. A power washer is helpful here, but you’ll also want to scrape as much of the old paint away as possible. Then you should prime the porch before repainting it.

Choose based on climate, finish preference (glossy, matte), and durability. Tailored coatings also provide longevity.
