We recently purchased a 2nd home on Lake James with an exterior that is 100% cedar.  The exterior was in serious need of cleaning and re-staining.  It had not been maintained; and, had a significant amount of mold staining and several areas of the trim had the original finish peeling off.

We contracted with Mike and Crystal to prep and re-stain the exterior of our home.  Throughout the process, Mike demonstrated thoroughness, competency and responsibility.  Mike and Crystal took personal responsibility to ensure they delivered a quality product.  Mike kept his commitments and did not compromise his work product even when faced with the stripping process taking more time than he expected.  He completed the project per the schedule he committed.

Mike demonstrated a high attention to detail in the finishing process and ensured the project was completed to my satisfaction.  The home looks beautiful...we could not be happier.

I solicited bids from several paint contractors and evaluated several before selecting Mike.  His pricing was very competitive versus several other contractors; but, I never observed where Mike cut corners.

I would definitely recommend MIke's Painting and will plan to use Mike again when we have painting needs.

"Everything about this job went well. Arte Bella painted my kitchen cabinets (they do AMAZING things to outdated cabinets) back in the fall so I knew what to expect from Maria and her crew. Maria came to my house on a Saturday to do the estimate. She helped me with paint selection. I generally use satin but Maria suggested eggshell since the walls (1980 construction basement level) were far from perfect. However, my walls are MUCH closer to perfect now than I could've dreamed. I am most impressed with the walls in the area that I had wallpapered. They were quite a mess because I didn't use regular wallpaper (it was "brown bag" walls) and I didn't use sizing. Plus...I used stain to color the paper. Due to the nature of brown bag walls, there were some areas where there were multiple layers of thick brown contractor's paper. Now you would never know the walls had ever been damaged. The hallway is small, but required a lot of time and skill to return them to pretty much as new condition. The den/kitchen area had some waves in the walls that I didn't expect could be corrected. There were also a few rough generally rough places and I'm sure more flaws than I noticed.
I did a complete color change from a deep wine color to a fresh light blue-gray. This required the walls to be primed  and painted with two coats of color.  I'm not sure if they did one or two coats of primer. I think they did one over the areas that required dry wall work to set everything and then one more over the entire room.
I was at work during the process since I trust Maria and her crew. I recognized Lou from the work I had done in the fall. I met Tonya the first morning. I know there were a couple of other people who came to help but it was after I left for the day. Maria came to check on the progress of the job each day. She has wonderful suggestions for how you can use to paint to refresh your home for a relatively small investment. I'm hoping to have my old (UGLY) drop ceiling painted soon.
I did get a quote from another painted and Maria's was higher. However, the first price did not include supplies. I know that multiple gallons of primer and paint were used plus all the supplies needed to correct dry wall issues. For the quality of the work, I feel the price is more than fair. I will call Maria again the next time I need painting work done.

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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. 

The best temperature to paint a pool deck is between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit, because many paints and sealers require temperatures warm enough for the chemical reaction to take place for proper curing. The paint should not be allowed to freeze, and temperatures above 90 degrees can cause the paint to dry too quickly, also preventing the chemical reaction from following through to completion.

It’s best to use an exterior latex acrylic paint to promote maximum adhesion to composite decking. This flexible paint type can better cope with the natural expansion and contraction that can occur with composite deck boards. Oil-based paints won’t adhere as effectively and are more likely to crack and peel as the boards flex. Testing whether your chosen paint will stick on an inconspicuous section or a spare board is a good idea.

You may be wondering: can you paint cement? Fortunately, the answer is yes.

To change the color of your cinder blocks, you have two options. You can either paint them or stain them. Either way, you'll be able to choose from a wide range of color options. Some popular colors for cinder block painting include off-white shades and gray tones, which add a modern spin to the traditional gray blocks.

Beyond liquid rubber, homeowners can use sealants, stains, membranes, or tapes as waterproofing options. Oil-based or water-based sealants soak into the wood, creating a moisture-resistant barrier. Waterproofing stains—available in transparent, semi-transparent, and solid colors—add both protection and style to your deck. For heavy-duty waterproofing, deck membranes and waterproof tapes can be applied under the deck boards to direct water away from the structure below. Whatever method you choose, clean and prep the deck first to ensure the best, longest-lasting results.
