"Guillermo did a wonderful job on the exterior of my home...painting a brick wall, all the woodwork, including the garage door, front door and deck. He was very professional, pleasant and punctual. His crew of three arrived early each morning and let me know when they were finished for the day. I will definitely use Friends Painting again"
"We are so happy with the painting Alex did in our home! He was on time, friendly and professional. He does amazing work and has the best prices. We highly recommend him to anyone! I will definitely use this company again!"
"Billy and his crew did an incredible job. I needed help painting over an extremely dark color - I was worried about the white not being able to cover the dark color. The crew had to do three coats, but it looks amazing and you would never know the walls use to be very dark. I am very happy with the work they did! Thank you!"
"I hired Pro Twins Painting thru Angi's. Fabel contacted me for a bid and was very prompt with his appointment and submitting a bid. I hired him and he started the painting project the same week. We were very pleased with the job they did. There would be no hesitation with hiring them again."
"These guys were amazing! Professional, respectful of my belongings while painting and fast. My painted walls and ceilings look perfect! I will be hiring them again. Quality work!"
"These guys were very prompt and fast at their job. They were way cheaper than the other estimates I got from other people too without sacrificing quality. They did the job thoroughly and well. My house looks amazing now! I am so happy with the work and will use them in the future and refer them to anyone else that needs them."
"Emerald Pro Painting did an amazing job painting my finished basement and they also painted my 3-car garage. They offered the best price and the quality of their work is amazing. I am definitely going to hire them for another project in the future."
"I've used Five Star painting several times now. They are very friendly and very professional. Every time I have used them, they had several people on the job , they always do a great job and get it done in a timely manner. And they seem to always have the lowest price."
"I was worried about hiring an outside company to paint and to pay 1/2 upfront. JOSE CHAVEZ assured me he was trustworthy.we shook hands. At the end of the job we hugged. He gave me an excellent job. He was careful nothing was ruined. His crew did more than what was required. I will hire Jose Chavez next time."
Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.
A dry lawn is easier to edge than a wet one. When your ground is wet, your blades will likely clump together, making a seemingly even cut while wet, but an uneven disaster when dried. Also, a wet lawn can impact your blade's performance and cause mud to kick up, resulting in a messy finish.
While power washing isn't a requirement before you stain a fence, it can make the job much easier and faster while reducing manual labor requirements. The stain will not work if the wood is full of dirt and dust, so power washing, sometimes called pressure washing, is a fast and effective way to prepare the wood for staining. Remember that you need to stain or repaint relatively soon after the wood has dried so that there isn’t time for dust and dirt to build up again.
The best finish for wrought iron railings is either a semi-gloss or a gloss sheen, as each offers good durability against rain, wind, heat, cold, and snow.
Wood stain is not flammable after it dries. The solvent in wood stain is what causes the liquid form to be highly flammable, but the stain drying process involves the solvents dissolving, which leaves behind a non-flammable product on your wood project. Wood stain is, however, flammable before you apply it, so you should always store partially full cans and used wood stain rags away from sources of heat and open flames.
