"Jason and Kenny were awesome. They were very meticulous with excellent attention to detail. They matched paint and stain. They also repaired areas of wall where the previous owner had left significant damage. Their skim coating made the walls look new again. Customer service, communication and reliability were superb. I would definitely recommend for painting and finishing."

"Andrew and his team were punctual, respectful, and worked tirelessly to ensure that the job was completed to the highest standard. They went above and beyond to ensure that all details were attended to, including minor repairs and touch-ups that were necessary prior to painting. The quality of the workmanship is outstanding, and I have received countless compliments from my neighbors and passersby. The team took great care in ensuring that the surrounding areas were protected during the painting process, and left my property clean and tidy upon completion. Andrew himself was a pleasure to work with. He was communicative, responsive to any questions or concerns, and provided valuable insights and recommendations to ensure that I was completely satisfied with the end result. I highly recommend Andrew and Color Splash Painting for any painting needs. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and commitment to customer satisfaction are truly unmatched. Thank you Andrew and your team for a job well done!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint. 

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must. 

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.

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.

You can use latex or acrylic paint outdoors. Although acrylic paint tends to last longer outside, it also costs more, so if you’re painting the outside of your house, for instance, latex paint is often a go-to option. However, acrylic will be your best choice if you want to spend some extra money for added durability.
