"CAE replaced exterior cedar siding and painted. I have used multiple contractors and remodeling pros over the last 10 years, and CAE topped them all. The prices are fair and the work was top quality. They were courteous, professional, and always on time every morning. They didn't try and increase the price after the initial quote even though they performed work outside of the agreement. They cleaned up after themselves each day and even pressure washed the driveway after the project was complete. Terrific experience!"

"Painter1 did a fantastic job with our house. Kevin sent us a quote the same day he came out to visit and take a look. Very easy to work with. Hardest part of the job was deciding which color to paint the house! They showed up on a Wednesday to prep the house and were done Friday evening. Great attention to detail; no touch ups were needed and I didn?t notice any overspray anywhere. I couldn?t recommend them enough!"

"They did a wonderful job painting and replacing wood on the house. Worked with the gutter people to get the project done. Kept me informed each day on what was to be done. Pressure washed the house to see what needed to be replaced. I would recommend them highly. The team was very polite, knew what needed to be done and cleaned up when done."

"My husband and I just recently purchased a home and wanted to add our touches. We hired Alex to paint the house and paint the kitchen and bathroom cabinets. Alex did an excellent job. The cabinets came out beautiful and the paint job on the house was great. He made sure that my floors and counters were protected. He was able to finish the job within the given time frame as well. I will definitely hire Alex again for future projects!"

"So pleased with the whole experience. I was moving in to a "new" house which was decorated in colors not of my taste. I found Riggins Painting on Angie's List and hired them. The reviews were correct. These guys were great. Austin came out to walk the house with me and the painters started a couple of days later. There was a little hitch on the first day but the crew worked through the weekend to make sure that my finish deadline was met. They were so accommodating with a special request that I had and when it turned out that there was additional unplanned work to do and when I decided on the last day that I hated the bathroom color and asked them to redo it in another color. The crew was great. So polite, so easy to work with. I will definitely use them again when I do the rest of the house."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Aftercare includes routine cleaning, checking for water repellency, and promptly addressing any chips or peels, maintaining the deck's appearance and functionality.

Whether you can paint over your existing paint depends on what’s on there. Most of the time, you’ll want to sand down or scrape off the paint that’s currently coating your surface. Epoxy paint, for example, won’t let new paint stick to the surface. Latex paint is more forgiving and will accept a new coat, but a primer is recommended if you’re switching colors.

If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.

It's okay to walk on a newly painted deck after about four to six hours as long as the weather has been dry. Be sure to wait at least 24 hours before you place any outdoor furniture or grills on a freshly painted deck, though.

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.
