"Wow. I think they peeled the old wall off and stuck a new one on. The new paint job is so smooth and perfect that .... they cheated. They had to. Or they only hire X-men. Something! All the lines are perfectly straight. There is only a minuscule amount of spatter, and not a bit on the dogs. Aside from the walls changing color and the ceiling becoming white again, I can't tell they were here. They also stained and sealed our new oak stairs. Same thing. Near-perfect match to our hardwood floors, clean-clean-clean application, perfect caulking, perfect edges, just perfect. And they showed up promptly at exactly 8 AM every morning. What contracting crew does that? They were a subcontractor to Richard Hannah Construction, which says a lot right there. I'd hire them in a minute myself."

"Jeremy was punctual, professional provided excellent suggestions for color and the faux pattern.  His estimate was reasonable and when it came time to pay the invoice was almost $100.00 less than what was quoted.  The paint job was extrordinary.  It came out better than we could have ever hoped for.  I am bringing Jeremy back in a couple of weeks to paint the master bedroom which includes a faux accent wall and the master bath.  I highly recommend Jeremy if you need a professional paint job.

"Excellent work! Very professional. The ceiling water damage bled through after repair. Mr. Morgan came back to the house and re-worked the ceiling for no extra charge. He repaired a hole in garage ceiling sheetrock, and now you cannot tell there was a repair. Great work and would highly recommend."

"Brad and his crew did a SPECTACULAR job. The most impressive part was the prep. Anyone can paint a wall. These guys sanded everything. They remudded as needed -- some walls needed to be nearly redone to get them to a quality surface for eggshell. Eggshell (slight gloss) shows every imperfection. But when Brad's crew was done, it was like glass. 
The trim work was perfect, including a high gloss repaint of the kitchen island which was previously stained. They knew just what to do to make this paint-over work and it looks fantastic. Finally, they managed to get all 11 colors right -- and this was all done while we were still living over 1000 miles away. I gave Brad a key and he took care of the rest. 
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

"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."

"Susan Gregg and her Team of 3 experienced painters showed up promptly at 8am and did a very good  job of painting 5 areas in our house during the day. They worked very efficiently ( one cut in and one was rolling the other painted and prepped as bneeded ) and quickly but at a  careful pace and were very professional. they took great care  to protect the floors and areas  by  placing drop cloths where ever they worked, and cleaned as they went . Susan did an initial  walk though at the beginning with my wife to make sure  she and her team understood  what we  wanted done and that there was no confusion (w e had 3 colors ) she left her team on site and she left to attend to other business  after making sure  they understood what we  wanted and we were in good hands . They worked at a good pace putting on 2 coats  and Susan would call back and check with  them and us throughout the day. After they finished their painting they walked through the areas doing an inspection with my wife and  touching up/ cleaning  up any minor areas making sure we were happy with everything. They cleaned up everything and left  their work area   very neat. These were professional painters and they worked very well as a team. Susan called us back shortly after they had left and did a  follow up to make we were happy with their work and if there was anything else we needed. (very good management )  Painting is never a fun thing to do in my opinion on a large scale but these folks made it as painless as possible and actually was a very nice experience . We will  be calling them again to do more work for us! Bottom line was great service and quality of work.

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Ipe wood can last up to 75 years with minimal maintenance because its own oils help to preserve it. However, to get the most out of your Ipe wood deck, you should perform some routine maintenance, including regular cleaning, sweeping of leaves and debris, and rinsing spills with a hose. It’s also important to repair any deep scratches as soon as you spot them and reseal the deck annually to protect against scratches and scuffs.

Eggshell and satin finishes are best for porches because they sit in the sweet spot between scuffable matte and distracting high gloss. Your porch sees a fair amount of wear and tear, so you don’t want paint that’ll show every mark like matte, but you don’t want to be blinded by glossy paint in the sun either. Eggshell and satin have durability and a look that sits nicely in the middle.

Yes, it is important to wash your deck before painting to ensure the paint applies well and adheres properly. While you don't have to use a pressure washer, it is one of the most efficient cleaning methods. Pressure washing can quickly remove dirt, wood fibers, and flaked paint, getting deeper into the wood than manual scrubbing. You can also clean the deck with a stiff broom and a cleaning solution. Regardless of the method, a clean surface is essential for good paint adhesion. Make sure the deck is completely dry before applying any paint.

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. 

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.
