"Anderson Painting is the best! MIkel and team were conscientious, hard working and paid attention to the little details. Showed up when they said they would and stayed until they got the job done. Will definitely recommend them to all my friends and neighbors and will call them again when it's time to repaint the home. Cannot say enough great things about this company."

"I would highly recommend this business.  We had them come and restain the deck and at first just powerwash the house.  They scheduled the work right away.  After doing the pressure washing, there were some areas with paint chips under the soffit.  Mike offered to repaint those for free.  During this, they noticed areas of the soffit that were rotten, so we had them repair those areas of the wood.  They also fixed a few screens that were damaged during the pressure washing for free.  
Everything turned out great, and we are very happy we had this work done.  Mike and Crystal are very professional and easy to work with.  I will be having them do some more work on our house in the near future.

"Excellent. I called Robert to come to review work in my home and give me an estimate. He came the next day and emailed me a quote the day after. Stated he had been in business for 40 years and used his own employees. I could tell he was very professional and gave him the job immediately. I asked him to come back out to my home to pick the colors for the repainting of the two bathrooms. He came the following day, I picked the colors for the repainting for him to purchase. It was a two day job. First day, the wallpaper had to be removed and mud put on the walls to sand down and set overnight to dry. Robert himself made some minor wall paper repairs in the kitchen on the first day. The two employees that removed the wallpaper and repainted the bathrooms the next day were very polite and professional and cleaned up both days before they left. One of his workers was his supervisor who had been with his company 19 years and his brother who had also been with him many years. Robert came "exactly" on time for all our appointments and his two workers also showed up "exactly" on time as promised each day. (I was lucky to find Roberts Wallpaper Removal and Painting service on Angies List). In addition on the second day they put on "two coats" of paint. One that morning and then went to lunch and that afternoon it was ready for the second coat. They finished at the end of the second day as Robert had promised. I can give Robert Bates and his company Roberts Painting the highest rating A+. They came on time, did the work exactly as quoted and did a most professional job. I am 100% satisfied with their work and will hire them in the future to do more inside painting work in my home. Both baths look like brand new with the 20 year old wallpaper down and beautiful new paint on the walls. (Great job and work all the way)!!!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Liquid rubber is great for waterproofing, but it can damage your deck if it’s not applied correctly. First, it can trap moisture in the wood if the deck isn’t completely dry before application.  Second, applying it too thickly can create a heavy, rubbery surface layer that peels and cracks under fluctuating temperatures. For the best results, ensure the wood is completely dry before application, and apply the liquid rubber in thin, even coats. A quick inspection every now and then will help you catch any issues early, keeping your deck protected and looking its best.

The opposite is actually true: Wood stains tend to appear lighter when they’re fully dry. However, stains may darken as they weather and oxidize with age. Stains might also darken on surfaces left in direct sunlight, as UV rays can break down pigment particles and cause them to darken over time.

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.

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. 

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place.
