"Outstanding professionalism and communication with an amazing attention to detail. We are thrilled with our decision to use CAE Home Improvement for exterior carpentry repairs to our home and a full exterior paint job. The process was seamless from the initial consultation to the finished product. There was communication and information available every step of the way, especially when some bad weather pushed back our project schedule. They worked on Saturday and the holiday to get our project done ASAP within their original timeline. Juan and his crew were super friendly, they cleaned up after work each day and left our home looking beautiful at the end of the week! We'll definitely be reaching out to CAE Home Improvement in the future for other projects around our home."

"Everything was pressure washed and examined before any work started. All of the wood repairs were done and then painting began. Two men were assigned to our job but on some days only one worked (Daniel, and he was EXCELLENT). We had a delay to our start date due to weather, and another weather delay in the middle of the job, but Daniel did a great job of keeping in touch and keeping me informed about when he would and would not be here and what he could and could not do each day. Trash and debris were cleaned up every day before they left, and when the job was complete there was no sign they'd been here other than a freshly repaired & painted house! Daniel did excellent work and made sure I was satisfied with everything done during each step of the process. Adam, the main contact at CertaPro and the one who did my estimate, is very friendly and professional. I enjoyed meeting him and discussing our project needs with him. He was very cooperative and helpful and made adjustments to our proposal as needed when I had questions or needed to make a change. Email response time was sometimes painfully slow, but overall the whole experience was straightforward and without complications. There was one small communication issue regarding our project start date (delayed because of weather but not communicated to me until 10pm the night before when I asked an unrelated question) but it was the only hiccup in the process and everything went smoothly after that. All work was done according to the estimate and our discussions and there were no surprises or extra charges along the way. I especially liked that I didn't have to pay them ANY money until the job was complete and I signed off on it. Our house and fence are now in great shape and look beautiful and I'm VERY pleased. I would hire them again and will recommend them to anyone I know who needs this type of work done."

"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!"

"We just had our home painted inside and out!! Amber came first and she was Amazing!!! She went over everything with us and made us feel great and comfortable with the process. Leslie, the color coordinator, then came to help us pick out colors and gave us such fabulous new selections we hadn't even considered. Franklin, the project manager, then came over to walk us through each step, and again was so professional that we just knew we were in great hands. The crew: Juan, Sandra, Raul, and Rigo did the absolute BEST job with our home!!! We are So pleased with the meticulous job they did!! Our home looks stunning and brand new! We are Extremely Grateful we found you all!!! Thank you Again!!!"

Here at Riggins Painting, we do things a little different. Many paint contractors see their customers like an invoice instead of a person. They treat your home or business like a 'job site' and are always in a rush to the next project. We don't see things that way. Our goal is to treat every customer with the respect and detail that we would want to be treated with. Instead of rushing through 'jobs' we see each project as an opportunity to make our clients happy.

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.

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.

Adding a second coat of stain to wood can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.

There’s no single paint that’s the most waterproof. Instead, there are several types of waterproof and water-resistant paints that suit different purposes. Epoxy paint, for instance, is commonly used to provide a waterproof coating to floors and decks. Masonry paint is an excellent choice for exterior walls. Meanwhile, there are waterproof acrylic paints that can be used for interior and exterior walls. It’s more about choosing the best type for what you’re painting instead of the most waterproof paint overall.

The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage.
