"Painted our 2 story home and did an excellent job. Went out of there way to stop at our shed builders to get a paint sample from our sheds to match our home. It matched perfectly. They were professional and arrived each day on time. Very happy with their service and will definitely use them again."

"Our home was damaged from the last freeze. We had a hard time finding a contractor to repair our home. State 28 came in, gave us a very reasonable estimate and repaired the damage to our home and repainted in a timely, efficient manner. They were very pleasant to work with, and did everything they promised."

"We were selling our house and the entire interior needed a paint refresh as it had been over 5 years since it was done. We also had some small wall repairs that needed done and he did a fabulous job in completing all of the work in the time frame we needed. After that work was done we needed an “emergency” repair job in laundry room/living room and we knew we could count on him to get the job done and done correctly, knowing the next owner would not have to worry about out any issues. He was a pleasure to work with and when we need help in the future we will definitely reach out to him. Definitely would refer him."

"The process was pretty seamless and straightforward. The only issue was that the only person we could verbally communicate with was the site leader who did not stay onsite. The painters themselves did not speak English and communicating as a mime was not very efficient....Overall the job was done and done well. Would still consider them again."

"We are so happy with KMG restoration! We had the project of painting a bedroom and repairing some drywall holes, due to too many children! Lol. They were very professional and started the same day. They finished quickly but totally paid attention to detail. I have painted every room in my house and I’m a horrible painter. After seeing a professionals work, I see how horrible I really am! Lol. The paint is on so smooth and uniform throughout, and I can’t tell at all where any damage used to be. We’ll definitely use them again! Thank you so much! So quick and easy."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

Two coats of stain are ideal for the best protection and aesthetic appeal. However, if your decking is made of particularly dense hardwood, you may only need one coat. If you want an intense color, two coats are ideal.

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

Pricing depends on prep work, paint/stain choice, area size, scaffolding needs, and detailed trim inclusions like precision-balanced windowsills.
