"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!!"

"They did an OK job on the paint but wanted me to do a walk through before the work was complete. There were several areas not painted and there were drips on the floors and on the toilet after they wer finished. Their payment process is the biggest problem. The only way they will let you pay is over the phone. Someone writes down your card number and then charges you later that day. Secure payment sites are so easy to set up these days, there is no reason to risk your customer's data."

Customers say: Quick response

"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 Troy and Shawn took our out of date knotty alder cabinets and made them brand new.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."

"These guys kept me informed. They called when they said they would. They arrived for the job on time with everything they needed to complete the job. They were professional and friendly. They cleaned up all scraps and debris after completion. The gutter look great and worked as planned during the heavy rains that followed. Great job overall!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Deciding whether to stain or paint a pool deck depends on your budget, desired look, and the deck's material. Both options can work. Paint offers a wider variety of color options, provides excellent water resistance, and can last longer. However, it requires a primer and can eventually fade or peel. Stain is often cheaper, easier to apply, and penetrates the wood for a more natural look and longer-lasting finish. It also has great water resistance. The downsides are fewer color options and the need for a sealant. The choice can also depend on the deck material; for example, staining may be a better option for concrete as it bonds well and lasts longer than paint.

It is not always necessary to remove old stain before restaining a deck. If the previous stain is in good condition and is compatible with the new stain, you may be able to apply a new coat after thorough cleaning. However, if the old stain is in bad condition, flaking, or peeling, it is best to remove it completely to ensure an even surface and proper adhesion for the new coat. Staining over a damaged layer can lead to an uneven finish and poor penetration. For best results, test a small area first and consult the stain manufacturer's guidelines.

Many decking oils can help slow down algae growth, but they don't completely stop it. These oils work by sealing the wood, which reduces moisture and, therefore, algae growth. Some decking oils also help protect against UV damage, but they need to be reapplied according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the decking stays protected.

The longevity of paint on wood depends on factors like the quality of the paint, surface preparation, exposure to elements, and maintenance. Exterior paint on wood surfaces can last 5 to 15 years or more with proper care and maintenance. Interior paint tends to have a longer life span, often 10 years or more. Regular cleaning, touch-ups, and addressing any issues like peeling or cracking can extend the life of the paint. 

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths
