"Steve and his crew are very friendly and excellent painters. They painted our entire house in approximately 41/2 days, which was amazing! We got 5 quotes and Steve was the lowest among them. He definitely had a more laid back approach than other companies, which we liked. However, that style also translated into his quote, which was less specific than others. We did feel there was a slight rush to complete the job. We discovered some of the furniture supports we're twisted or bent from beds and dressers being moved back quickly. Overall, the work was beautiful and we'd recommend him."

"Estimator arrived when expected. I was very impressed by his professionalism and knowledge. While I did not choose Nolan's for the deck which is my immediate need, I will most likely use them for the interior work."

"We recently had the exterior of our home painted and are thrilled with the end result! As homeowners for over 30 years, the quality, skill and professional manner by which Heiler Painting completed our project was our very best experience compared to many other painting contractors. We were very cautious when searching for the best contractor to paint our home due to the magnitude of the project. We were quickly impressed with Apostoli s character, his integrity, great knowledge, skill-set and his approach to providing us with a long-lasting job to beautify and protect the outside of our home. His consideration and dedication created a wonderful result. Apostoli fulfilled his promises and exceeded them! Led by one of Heiler s foremen, Craig, his crew arrived every day at 7am and worked productive and consecutive long days until the project was complete--something very rare with contractors today. We were most impressed with the crew s attention to detail when prepping and painting surfaces, in using the very best and proper products for the various surfaces on our home and cleaning up our property at the end of each day. Our communication with Apostoli, from estimating to the completion of the project, exceeded our expectations! We are very happy with our decision to use Heiler Painting and have also contracted them to paint our home s interior soon. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND HEILER PAINTING TO ANYONE WHO DESIRES BEAUTIFUL + PROFESSIONAL RESULTS AT A FAIR PRICE!! A+++/5 STARS! Our very highest rating!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

No, you don't need to stain Ipe decking, although you can if you want to change the color. You will, however, need to apply a UV coating if you don't want the natural color to fade. Speak to a deck staining specialist near you to discuss the best options if you want to stain your decking. And remember that you’ll need to seal your Ipe wood deck annually to protect it from scratches and Mother Nature.

Hot, intense sunshine can cause your stain to dry too quickly, which could lead it to look uneven or patchy. If you’re staining the deck during hotter months, it’s best to do it in the morning or evening once the wood has had time to cool down. If you’re staining in cooler weather with less sunshine, the time of day won’t make as much of a difference.

Yes, it is generally a very good idea to seal your deck after pressure washing. Power washing removes not only dirt and debris but also a thin layer of wood, leaving the surface exposed and more susceptible to weathering. Sealing is almost always needed after this process. After a general cleaning, sealing isn't automatically necessary if the existing sealant is still intact. You can test the surface by placing a few drops of water on it. If the water beads up, the sealant is working. If it soaks into the wood, it's time to apply a new sealant. If it has been a few years, it's wise to remove the old sealant, wash the deck, and reseal for maximum protection.

Routine cleaning, sealing/staining, and inspection prolong deck life and appearance.

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.
