"I am completely satisfied with the services provided. I had the ceilings, walls, and trim painted in most of my house (about 1600 square feet), and had drywall installed over paneling in one room. Daniel advised me of better alternatives to what I was planning, and I’m glad I took his advice (i.e., he advised to drywall over the paneling rather than filling the grooves and painting over it; and to paint trim with oil based paint for better adhesion because it was originally painted with oil based paint--which I did not notice until he pointed it out to me). He worked with a crew of two other men; they were fast (it took 4 days), neat (no drips, splashes, or marks with the paint; and cleaned up after themselves), and did a high quality job (good prep work and paint coverage). Daniel was responsive and good to work with. And, last but not least, the price was very fair. If you are considering what to do with an old paneled room, I recommend you consider installing drywall over the paneling. Daniel installed a 1/4” thick drywall over the paneling, which butts up to the door and window trim and crown molding. They used caulk to seal between the drywall and trim, which was painted to match the trim. I was concerned it would look strange, but it’s fine; I don’t think you would notice the “thin” trim unless you knew about it. We removed the baseboard, so drywall was installed to the floor and are installing new baseboard."

"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."

Painting questions, answered by experts

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.

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.

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

Whitewashing isn’t permanent, but it can last for a long, long time. When you apply it correctly or have a seasoned pro whitewash your brick, whitewashing can last for 20 to 30 years or longer. Whitewash is very durable and typically requires little maintenance, making it a great project for most DIYers.

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.
