"Genesis Painting representative Moses Clarke came out to our home right on time and got straight to work. He helped us pick the perfect colors for our master bedroom. He and his crew did a fantastic job. When they were finished they left everything clean and spotless. We had a marvelous experience with Genesis Painting. Great customer service but most important great painters.

"GREAT WORK! We have used this company for all our painting needs. Used since 2018. They recently completely redid all my kitchen and utility room cabinets including the island. Went from old stained cabinets to beautiful painted cabinets. They always take great care in taping off and using plastic to cover areas to prevent overspray and unneeded brush marks. Always on time and keep the work area clean. Our house was in terrible condition when we bought it, but with MQ’s help it is now one of the nicest houses in our area. I HIGHLY recommend MQ for all our painting needs, inside and outside!!"

"We had a short 5 day turn-around for getting the final task of painting the interior of a remodel completed before final inspection. Since we were cutting it close with getting the last room finished we decided to just ask Gold Stars to include the task of resurfacing the ceiling and adding drywall to walls in the laundry room. We thought this might exceed our 5 day schedule but they were able to complete all work within the original 5 day quote. The price for the extra work was more than reasonable. They did a fantastic job of preparing the interior for painting and even fixed multiple areas that had bubbled up from earlier texturing job by another contracting group. The whole Gold Stars team was professional and respectful of the house. They did an excellent job in cleaning up! The property they were painting has been a work in progress since March on a remodel of a 1908 farm house. We have had many different trades working at this property(plumbers, electricians, other painters - exterior & interior) all of which we had to cleanup after and disappointingly we found the quality of work far inferior to this group. Gold Stars is professional and respectful of the property they work on. We wanted to use a particular brand of paint for this project and they provided us guidance in purchasing the right quantity. They were spot on with their estimates. Additionally, we had two rooms where we were leaving the original shiplap but planning to paint it. We had already applied two coats of primer but Agustin advised us the wall color would be best if an additional coat of primer was applied. He applied this additional coat of primer to ensure the project was completed to our satisfaction (without charging us for the labor of applying this extra coat). The pictures I've included are of the rooms with shiplap so you can see how well it looked after being painted. I was so impressed - I plan to use them to do some painting in my own home."

"Wow! Troy and Shawn took our out of date knotty alder cabinets and made them brand new. They filled in the holes and the kitchen is now light and bright with bright white cabinets. We did the center island in a black magic and it was a work of art. We also changed our wall paint from beige to agreeable gray. This was no easy task with the great room being 20-25 feet tall. Our house now looks like a model home. Light, bright and cheery. A great job at a reasonable price. I would recommend Elite Coatings to anyone who needs painting done at a high level and a reasonable and fair price."

"Quote was itemized, work was started on date specified and I was kept aware of the progress and what steps were taken. Brick staining brought my older home up-to-date. Definitely would hire them again and have recommended them to my neighbors."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

Exterior paints contain more volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, making them dangerous when used indoors. Without the free ventilation of the great outdoors, it can take longer for the fumes to dissipate than interior paint. While you may notice the smell lessening more quickly, you should be wary of paint fumes inside for 48 to 72 hours after it dries.

Staining a deck is typically less expensive upfront than painting. The cost to stain a deck professionally averages around $850, with most homeowners paying between $550 and $1,250, depending on the deck's size. A DIY staining project can cost less than $100. The cost to paint a deck ranges from $500 to $2,000. While the initial cost of staining is lower, it's important to consider long-term expenses. Paint can last up to 10 years, whereas stain needs to be reapplied every few years, which could lead to higher costs over time.

An exterior paint job typically lasts between 5 and 10 years, though this can range from 3 to 17 years depending on several factors. The longevity is influenced by the quality of the paint and primer, the quality of the application, the local climate, and the type of surface being painted. For example, paint on wood siding may need to be redone every 3 to 7 years, while painted brick can last up to 17 years. Aluminum siding often needs repainting every 5 years.

A wood deck requires annual cleaning and regular inspections for loose or broken boards, nails, and screws. It should be refinished by applying a stain or sealer every two to three years to protect the wood from water damage, rot, mildew, and sun fading. The exact frequency can depend on the climate and the deck's exposure to sun and moisture. If your deck is painted, it will need repainting approximately every 10 years. Signs that your deck needs refinishing include faded, splintering, or warping boards.
