"Painting was done in conjunction with roof and gutter replacement after a hail storm. Work was done quickly and with excellent results. Two years later, the exterior painting still looks great. The fence was stained at the same time and also still looks great. I've used this contractor since and referred him to others. He's really responsive and easy to work with."
"Jess was very easy to talk to and accommodating. He built a great deck for me and did it in very difficult circumstances. I was out of the country during the build and he still made time to communicate with me and make sure that the build came out as planned."
"Hired to stain our fence. Met with us twice- once for a bid and again to go over colors. Did the job in one day. They had to purchase additional stain but still honored the original price which I really appreciated."
"Everything went great. The crew taped off the space to reduce dust, replaced the drywall, textured and painted. They cleaned up behind themselves. I couldn't be happier!"
"Wallpaper removal and painting was done professionally using plastic protective material to protect house from dust and paint. Contractor was efficient and methodical in applying the Fresco base, texture and finish coats and glaze with excellent results. Also did an excellent job manufacturing and painting the custom mirror frame to match the new bronze sink fixtures and cabinet hardware. "
"Easy to work with, knowledgeable and fast. Just before he began work he made some suggestions about staining my fence and he made the adjustments on the spot. I was very pleased with the results."
"Everything went perfect. Jason is very meticulous, takes great pride in his work, and used the best quality materials and paint. He and Maria are Phenomenal!! My home looks brand new, I love it. I will be recommending Cerdas Painting to everyone I know."
""I cannot recommend Cole Painting enough! From the very beginning, they were punctual, communicated clearly, and provided an accurate quote. Their preparation work was incredibly thorough—they took the time to properly sand, patch, and protect all of my floors and furniture. The finished result is stunning; the lines are perfectly crisp, and the coverage is flawless. On top of that, the crew was polite, respectful, and left the workspace completely spotless every single day. If you need a reliable, high-quality painter, look no further!""
"I recently hired BLW Painting to paint my brick and siding, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, Brad was professional, attentive, and incredibly skilled. He helped me navigate color choices, ensuring the final palette perfectly complemented my home's style. Communication was seamless throughout the project, and he completed the job on time. I highly recommend BLW Painting for anyone looking to enhance their home’s exterior. He truly exceeded my expectations!"
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.
If you don’t treat a cedar fence, it will turn from reddish brown to gray over time. You can keep the cedar from graying and retain its attractive, deep red color by sealing your cedar fence with a stain that keeps the wood’s oils in and serves as a barrier against the sun’s UV rays.
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.
For homes in areas with extreme weather, high heat, or intense sun exposure, high-quality acrylic paint is the best option. Acrylic paint is durable, resistant to both heat and cold, and provides a protective barrier with excellent UV resistance. For best results, look for acrylics that contain natural earth pigments, which are better suited for resisting sun damage. While oil-based paint is also durable, it can be prone to fading in high heat and can become too viscous to apply easily in cold temperatures. Additionally, choosing a neutral or light color like gray, beige, or white can help, as these colors absorb less heat than darker shades.
Constant exposure to inclement weather conditions can damage your deck, causing it to fade, warp, or crack over time. Regular maintenance keeps it looking and performing its best. That means giving it a good cleaning and applying a quality sealant or wood treatment to help defend against moisture, sun damage, and everyday wear.
