"Work was performed exactly as discussed and agreed to (match existing paint colors) at estimated cost. Start was delayed at our request due to high heat and humidity, with no complaints. Work was further delayed through no fault of Arch Painting due to continuous wet weather. Once a good weather window finally occurred, the work was performed quickly with no impact on us. We were totally satisfied with the quality of the work and the finished product."

"Bob Griffin is a true professional. A list of projects he completed on my home follows . Note that I was "5-Star" impressed with his work in every area. - Soft wash of roof, exterior siding, and patio - Apply two coats of Cabot's bleaching stain to home exterior - finish all fixtures (hinges, handles, and all fixtures) - Caulk and / or putty all areas exposed ( cracks, splits, etc..) - He was hired to "soft" power wash my home and then apply two coats of Cabot's bleaching oil to the 7 year old cedar shingles. Bob showed up. on time, worked a full day, and kept me informed of all progress. The "soft" power wash left the roof and exterior of the home in beautiful condition. He also added a soft wash of the back patio; again, it came out beautiful and was a task he threw in no-charge. He applied caulk and wood putty as required to protect any cracks or gaps in the surface. He then went on to refinish all the black hinges, handles and fixtures. These details really made a difference. I was so impressed with all of the above that I asked Bob to return to paint the cellar. Once again, Bob sought the right paint and primer for the job and covered the walls and floor of this old cellar in record time. We can not get over the improvement to the home while under Bob's control. Finally, I was always so impressed with Bob's initiative. He helped declutter the cellar before starting the paint without so much as a word. His pricing is more than fair in every way. He is a very nice man and I am happy to have met him. He strives to exceed every customer's needs. He is something special and earns 5 stars in every area."

"Very prompt response after initial contact. Specialty painting was exactly what I needed and this small owner-operated business fit the bill completely. We had an initial visit where we met & he assessed what needed to be done. He has a terrific eye for color, and matched exactly what I had. Scheduling was very soon thereafter, with no delays. The repair of the damaged portions of my 30-year old faux surface is now complete and nobody could ever tell a repair has been done, it is so seamless. Very reasonable price, as well. We expect to be working with Renaissance Revival on another job in our house."

"Zuck Painting was professional, communicative, punctual, and polite from start to finish in everything from getting a quote to the final touches. Even in hot and humid weather, the team showed up and worked tirelessly throughout the day. In just three days the exterior of my 1200 sqft house went from dark red to light blue and white. I highly recommend Zuck Painting!"

"Embassy Painting took extra time preparing and painting a problematic ceiling in my home. The ceiling looks terrific now. I truly appreciate their hard work and that they cleaned up after themselves well."

"Ray, Mike and Tony were very professional and great throughout the whole process of painting the exterior trim to our house. They power washed the exterior of the whole house prior to painting and brought new life to our old cape cod style wood shingles. My wife and I highly recommend them. Tom N."

"I had neglected the exterior of my contemporary red cedar house for too long and decided to address this while working from home during the pandemic. This was much more than a simple staining project. The house had to be power washed, sanded by hand and cedar boards replaced as needed before the staining could begin. John Cyr and his team excelled in every area. John expressed enthusiasm and confidence to take on the project and was always quick to respond to my calls and emails. His talented team, led by Ernie, was always professional, courteous, tidy, accommodating and paid attention to detail, even making sure to stain the mailbox post at the end of the driveway to match the house. Everyone was always patient with my questions and requests, which I appreciated and my house looks brand new. The project was completed within budget and on time, actually a little early. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them."

"Clement and his team painted my living room, bathroom and kitchen. They were consummate professionals who took pride in their work. Clement went above and beyond by fixing small repairs and making suggestions. They removed furniture and wall hanging and put them back after the paint had dried. I would recommend them without hesitation and will use them again."

Painting questions, answered by experts

Shadowbox fence maintenance depends on the material. But for wood shadowbox fences, maintenance typically includes annual cleaning to prevent mold growth, resealing or staining every two to three years, and promptly replacing any damaged or rotted boards. Vinyl fencing, on the other hand, typically only requires annual cleaning with a hose to maintain its appearance.

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.

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.

Wood stain is not flammable after it dries. The solvent in wood stain is what causes the liquid form to be highly flammable, but the stain drying process involves the solvents dissolving, which leaves behind a non-flammable product on your wood project. Wood stain is, however, flammable before you apply it, so you should always store partially full cans and used wood stain rags away from sources of heat and open flames.

Rags used with oil-based stains are highly flammable and can spontaneously combust in the right conditions. To reduce the fire risk, throw them in a metal container after use and add rocks on top to secure them. Add an inch of water and seal the container. Take the rags in the container to a hazardous waste factory as soon as possible.
