"John was very easy to work with and communicated well. We wanted a particular cleaning products used and he used them.  It was easy to schedule the work and they came/left when they said that they would.   The decks were all painted with rollers and brushes.  The underside of the decks were sprayed - all techniques were done with care and everything was cleaned up when they left.  They protected everything that wasn't supposed to be painted.  We were happy with the entire process and it looks beautiful.  I would not hesitate to do business with them again.

"They painted my shutters and front door. Then I asked for a quote for interior painting. They did my entire upstairs and did so good I called them a third time for a quote to paint downstairs. Then I called a fourth time to paint a cathedral ceiling with the entire wall done in new shiplap! And they had to paint another entire room due to a bad leak. They’re precise, respectful and courteous, on time, and pretty fast. They’re forever my painters now. I’ve had several painters before finding Covenant Painting. My home is over 15 years old, I’m so thankful we found them!!! His prices are very affordable too. Thank you guys, for everything!!!"

"Jose Trujillo and his team finished the job in a short time, did what we asked to have done, were on time and notified us of the time of arrival, and the finished product looks great! Last year, he painted 8 exterior doors inside and out and did a great job for a reasonable price."

We recently purchased a 2nd home on Lake James with an exterior that is 100% cedar.  The exterior was in serious need of cleaning and re-staining.  It had not been maintained; and, had a significant amount of mold staining and several areas of the trim had the original finish peeling off.

We contracted with Mike and Crystal to prep and re-stain the exterior of our home.  Throughout the process, Mike demonstrated thoroughness, competency and responsibility.  Mike and Crystal took personal responsibility to ensure they delivered a quality product.  Mike kept his commitments and did not compromise his work product even when faced with the stripping process taking more time than he expected.  He completed the project per the schedule he committed.

Mike demonstrated a high attention to detail in the finishing process and ensured the project was completed to my satisfaction.  The home looks beautiful...we could not be happier.

I solicited bids from several paint contractors and evaluated several before selecting Mike.  His pricing was very competitive versus several other contractors; but, I never observed where Mike cut corners.

I would definitely recommend MIke's Painting and will plan to use Mike again when we have painting needs.

"Communication was excellent. Made recommendations about stain color that would work best with our house and exterior. Did many extras like edging our driveway before pressure washing it! Mike was awesome and we would definitely use his business again in the future! Great company and honest people! Everything looked wonderful and we had no complaints!

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years.

Always wait until the morning dew has dried before you stain your deck. The stain needs a fully dry surface to sink into.

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

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.
