"Mr. Morelos came out to my home the very next day after communicating with me on Angi. I explained that I was interested in having my metal barn painted white, with black roof, black shutters, and black gutters. I also told him I wanted my new brick entrance with call box, and mailbox painted as well. To complicate things, I told him I wanted to see if it was possible to have it painted before the weekend. Mind you this conversation was taking place on Wednesday. I told him I knew this was a long shot request and would understand if it wasn't possible. Mr. Morelos told me he wanted the job, would move some things around, negotiated a price with me that was very fair, and told me he would send a guy to pressure wash the building the very same day. Everything that Mr. Morelos told me would happen, happened. A guy came and pressure washed the entire barn, roof as well. He and a crew came the next morning at 6am and spent 12 hours working in the hot sun to complete the job. My wife and I are absolutely blown away at the quality of work, and high standard upheld by Mr. Morelos and his entire crew. My wife told me she just wished we had found him sooner. I would highly recommend Morelos Painting. If you are looking for an ethical, hard working, talented, and polite painter, this is your company."

"They showed up on time when they said they would with all the right equipment to get the job done. They hand sanded the entire fence removing all dirt and rust. Then they applied a liberal coat of oil based premium paint. After painting the entire fence they went back and meticulously went over every inch making sure that there were no missed spots. They cleaned up everything and carried away all their trash when they left. I would recommend them to anyone without hesitation and would rehire them in a heartbeat. They were a pleasure to work with."

"I got three quotes for the paint job. Two were given over the phone: but Dennis Phillips of Progressive Painting cam over in person. In meeting him: I found him to be very professional and easy to work with. He made suggestions that made a better finished product. His quote was the lowest of the three and engaged him to do the job. It rained off and on for a week and we worked closely to make sure we had the best conditions for painting. He used top of the line equipment and his years of experience showed in his painting. I recommend Dennis Phillips for any painting job you may have. I am going to use Dennis Phillips on our house interior painting. Bruce Patchin"

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.

Whether to paint or stain a deck depends on your personal preference for appearance and budget. Stain provides a natural look with a range of undertones, is typically less expensive, and may only require one coat, but it does not last as long as paint. Paint offers a sleeker finish with a virtually unlimited color palette. Both options will protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear.

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.

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. 

It’s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that’s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat.
