"I had the outside of my house painted be Carnival. Estimate was printed out during the initial visit. I signed immediately due to the great price. When they arrived, they were so respectful and friendly. Easy to talk to, and I didnt have to give any special instructions on what I'd like. They replaced rotten boards, more than what was estimated. The guys were super detailed oriented. I mean, they cleaned everything, caulked perfect lines, and painted perfect lines. I TRIED to find imperfections and I couldn't. Window world really messed up the window trim on my windows and these guys fixed it all. They didnt seem rushed at all. They took their time. They even replaced my entire chimney because it was rotten more than we could see initially. If you want QUALITY work with second guessing anything, choose this company. When the job was completed, I had questions about my estimate, I asked the site manager, and within a few minutes I had 2 main guys calling me trying to resolve my questions. They REALLY do care about their reputation and company. I'm thoroughly impressed and I've already told everyone I come in contact with about my house and have shown them pictures of everything. Thanks Carnival! You guys rock!"

"The Custom Painting painters moved my furniture, covered it carefully, taped off the areas for trim and did a great job of coverage of my walls. I was very pleased with their careful treatment of my furniture and carpets. I’ve hired Custom Painting again recently to do more painting in another part of my home. Great company with great people!"

"Mr. Lopez is my go-to person for all painting and wood construction work. I have hired him for 5+ jobs in the past 10 years. For this latest work, he repainted a 4-bedroom 2-bathroom house (walls only), repainted the exterior house including shutters, trim and door, repaired rotted fascia board on the garage, and rebuilt a wood deck and stained it. What I love about Lopez Painting is his consistency: (1) immediate, fair written estimates (2) ability to schedule the job quickly (3) work gets done thoroughly as it seems he concentrates on one job at a time (4) no subs (5) extremely hard working, works more than a full day (6) cleans up."

"John Kelly, showed up promptly at the appointed time and proceeded immediately to work. He helped move the potted plants and patio furniture. The house never looked better. I will hire him again when it comes time to pressure wash the house again next year."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, you must thoroughly clean your deck before staining. If you don't, dirt, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped between the wood and the new stain. This not only looks unsightly but also prevents the stain from penetrating the wood properly, reducing its ability to protect the deck from weather and UV rays. As a result, the stain won't last as long or look as good. Any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning for the wood to dry completely before applying stain.

The need for a topcoat on a painted deck depends on various factors, primarily the type of paint used and your desired level of protection. Many premium deck paint formulations are self-sealing, eliminating the necessity for an additional topcoat. These paints often have built-in additives that substantially protect against moisture, UV rays, and everyday wear and tear.

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.

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

Choosing the best color for your home exterior should factor in longevity as well as your personal taste. To keep your house looking newly painted as long as possible, stay away from red paint. Although red homes pop and are quintessential for country-style barns, red paint tends to fade fastest in the sun. Go with earth tones if you want paint that best resists fading.
