"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

You don’t necessarily have to remove all the old paint before repainting your deck, but it’s best to remove as much as possible to ensure a smooth and long-lasting finish. Prioritize scraping off loose, peeling, or flaking paint, and sand down rough areas to create a smooth surface for the new paint to bond with.

DIY is possible but presents risks of uneven surfaces or improper adhesion; professionals offer expertise to ensure a lasting finish.

You’ll need to wait until the surface is completely dry, which can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours under optimal conditions. The waiting period depends on several factors, including the type of siding and the weather conditions. Trying to paint before the surface is completely dry can trap moisture under the paint, leading to bubbling, blistering, and mold growth.

Many decking oils can help slow down algae growth, but they don't completely stop it. These oils work by sealing the wood, which reduces moisture and, therefore, algae growth. Some decking oils also help protect against UV damage, but they need to be reapplied according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the decking stays protected.

Pricing depends on prep work, paint/stain choice, area size, scaffolding needs, and detailed trim inclusions like precision-balanced windowsills.
