"Excellent craftsmanship and results. This crew knows their business- the Owner is on the site, makes recommendations that we never thought of, then ensures that the surface preparation is purrrrfect.... Next comes the multi-step application of only premium coating materials- each applied with painstakingly precision. we are 100% happy with the Feria Crew and will continue to go to them for our painting and coating needs. I simply can’t explain what a fantastic transformation took place in this garage... it’s now a showplace. My $0.02."
"Pratt Construction did a great job on my bathroom remodel. I gave them the ideas and thoughts that I wanted and they made it happen quickly and on budget. I will definitely call them for my next project!"
"Mr. Morgan quoted and completed the repair with prompt and friendly service. He ensured I was pleased with the result before considering the job complete."
"Got the quote from Brad. It wasn't the cheapest nor the most expensive but I was impressed with his attention to detail on what needed to be done and how he was going to do it. I wasn't disappointed. His foreman Wade and team attacked my house. They were on-time and professional. It was a joy watching them work and giving my house some TLC. They had done such a great job on the exterior of the house, I added on the interior of the kitchen and fence staining as projects for them. They took particular care protecting areas not being painted or stained. All painted surfaces had two coats of paint. At the end of each work day, they cleaned up the area like it was the last day on the job. I believe you get what you pay for and Brad Rogers crew was worth every penny. Completely Satisfied."
"Curtis Clemons is great. Right on time and good quality work. When I needed them, he kept in touch with me and got the job done. I asked them to do additionally in another room and there was just a very small fee for that. We already had the paint, but it was next to thing. It was just a strip of wood in one of the other bedrooms. There weren't additional fees for the room that we asked them to paint. They're A plus. For quality of work, A plus. For responsiveness, definitely A plus. Professionalism is very much A. I'll absolutely use them again."
"I was very pleased with Susan's work. The cost was very reasonable, and she was very responsive (returned my calls, showed up the next day to give me an estimate), and provided design ideas regarding the tile around my tub, which looks great. The painting was very good and very thorough; unlike some painters, she removed lights, towel bars, outlet covers, etc., instead of just painting around them. I thought I was just getting a painter, but I really believe she can tackle most of my home projects (e.g., wall tile, crown molding, etc.). She also has a very good design eye. I plan to use her next month for similar work in my other two bathrooms."
"Ronnie was very professional, friendly, arrived on time, was very easy to get in touch with, and did a very good job with the painting. He worked with me to schedule the job around the Christmas holidays (23rd, 24th, and 26th). Despite some issues with the Benjamin Moore paint we were using, he went above and beyond what was necessary to make me happy. I have a lot of confidence in Ronnie's work and will be using him in the future if I need any more painting/woodwork/repair done around the house. "
"This company did an awesome job at spraying our house! We did a two tone gray throughout the downstairs. They went out of their way to make things smooth and peaceful. They were so nice to work with!! The new paint made the whole house feel so fresh and new. We are planning to finish out our upstairs and we will definitely use them. "
Choose based on climate, finish preference (glossy, matte), and durability. Tailored coatings also provide longevity.
For the longest-lasting exterior paint, consider acrylic or enamel (oil-based) paints. Acrylic paints, including acrylic latex and acrylic enamel, are known for withstanding harsh weather and sun exposure. Enamel-based paints are also one of the most durable options available. While latex paint is common, it typically has a shorter lifespan than acrylic or oil-based options. The paint's finish also affects its durability; a higher gloss finish is generally more durable. For resistance to moisture and cracking, matte and satin finishes can be effective, while a high-gloss acrylic or oil-based paint offers a combination of maximum longevity and durability.
An exterior paint job typically lasts between 5 and 10 years, though this can range from 3 to 17 years depending on several factors. The longevity is influenced by the quality of the paint and primer, the quality of the application, the local climate, and the type of surface being painted. For example, paint on wood siding may need to be redone every 3 to 7 years, while painted brick can last up to 17 years. Aluminum siding often needs repainting every 5 years.
Provided conditions are ideal, staining an entire deck should take as little as a couple of hours and up to a couple of days to apply and cure. Additional procedures, like sealing a deck or using additional treatments, may extend the project by a few additional days.
You should seal your deck every one to two years, but you’ll also need to clean and repair your wood deck throughout the seasons. You may want to hire a local house cleaning service to sweep and clean the deck thoroughly. These cleaning services cost around $50 per hour.
Inspect your deck at least once a year, and if you notice any damage or rot, expect to spend about $10 to $50 for simple DIY fixes or about $2,000 for professional repairs on more extensive damage.
