"Marvin and his team did an amazing job. They were professional, prompt, and did an excellent job repairing drywall and painting. They were exceptionally neat and clean. We had to do nothing after they were finished. We look forward to them painting several other rooms in our house!"

"Va Painting LLC is an outstanding contractor Abdul Ahmadi was the only company from the list to come out and inspect the job site and define the requirements with me. He gave me a reasonable quote and provided a digital contract at the same time. He prepped the job area to ensure no paint dripped on the rock base of the mailbox podium and mounted the mail box and house numbers. All the HOA requirements were met for street side mailbox appearance and mounting. This is a trust worthy and diligent contractor with great respect for the client. Put VA painting as first to call for any painting job."

"Elmer was absolutely fantastic on this project. If I could give him more than 5 stars I would! He's extremely responsive to queries, very courteous, friendly and truly cares about doing a good job. I hired his company to plaster multiple cracks in the ceilings and paint the entire basement (5 areas total) -- ceilings, walls, trim, doors and baseboards. He provided the paint for the ceiling and trim, while I provided the paint for the walls. We started the project on a Wednesday so we'd have Friday as a third day for the project if needed, but Elmer and his crew finished within two days -- working 12 hours each day! Even though I'm changing the carpet in the basement, they took care to cover it up and clean up after themselves. They also laid down drop cloths across my hardwood floors leading to the basement steps to protect it. The basement looks like it belongs in a brand new house. The walls and ceilings look incredible! They caulked and sealed all the gaps between the trim and the walls, and respected my wishes to remove all light fixtures and switch plates to paint behind them. I have two more floors to go and definitely plan to call Elmer when I've saved up to move forward. Highly recommend hiring EDE Painting for your project!"

"Balteza painted my home and stained an extensive deck, retaining wall and railing surrounding the house. They then rebuilt my patio in the back yard as well as the stairs leading to the back of the house on both sides of the house, replacing rotted timber and installing all new stone surfaces. Work quality was excellent."

"The paint crew was punctual, professional, and painted my homes interior and exterior beautifully. I would absolutely recommend A&R Home Improvements for any home painting jobs and I myself plan on hiring them again for future home improvement work."

Painting questions, answered by experts

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.

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.

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.

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. 

Yes, you can waterproof any wood that has not already been treated. A good way to test this is to splash some water on it. If the water starts to bead up, the wood is treated and most likely doesn’t need another coating.
