Best deck staining pros near Fairfax, VA

"They did a wonderful job. We have used Wilber’s Painting for multiple projects."

"While we are generally satisfied with the fresh look of the newly painted surfaces, not much care was taken with the fence staining. The fence is old so we expected some uneven stain, but several interior borders were missed and there are boards with stain runs and drips which looks sloppy. In addition, paint dripped onto our siding when the back shutters were being painted, and wasn't cleaned off. Scraping and painting the iron railing on the front steps takes a lot of work, and we were going to do it ourselves, but were assured by Solution that they would do a thorough job with scraping, priming, and painting. However, within 5 months, the paint was already chipping off, and we're going to have to do it ourselves anyhow. We were less satisfied with the project management and communication from the company regarding the project. We got a quick estimate visit (we accepted the same day and provided paint and stain colors 2 days later) and assurance that we would be contacted with the start date within a few days. I emailed Solution after 3 weeks of no communication from them and was promptly given some date options, leaving me to wonder when we would have eventually been contacted. We scheduled date 2 weeks from then, and the workman showed up on the scheduled start date with no materials because he did not know the paint and stain colors, although we had provided them. When I provided the information again to the office, I was told they didn't work with the particular brand of stain I had chosen; they could have been up front with this and saved me an extra trip to Home Depot. To continue, the workman power washed the fence and then left without doing any prep work. To our minds, he could have started scraping the front railing, or gone and purchased the materials and got started on the priming. It turned into a longer job with less on-site workmen than I was told when asking questions during the estimate. The workmen also asked whether the wood under the deck needed stained, although it was stated on the estimate. We went with Solution Painting in part because of the good reviews that were posted for the company, but I don't think we would use them again."

"Manor Work Painting (Alfredo, Rosario, and Milton) did a great job of mudding, sanding, and painting our garage and sealing our deck. They were able to come a day earlier than scheduled, worked long days, and cleaned up nicely after finishing the job. They worked hard and paid attention to every detail and many of our care-abouts along the way. We are so happy with the final product of their work!"

"Awesome young man named Jose, very good communication. He was able to come 1 day early than scheduled. Price was perfect! I already scheduled for him to stain my fence. Highly recommended Believe painting!"

"Merrifield was excellent.  Our painters arrived in a timely fashion, they were fast, tidy workers and the end results were fabulous.  Over all we were very happy with their services.

"Had them come to do some interior painting for our home. Did get an estimate from another company and Pint the DMV was less by a significant margin. Unfortunately the week of our appointment there was heavy rain in the area which caused our project start date to move back 3 days however Steve let me know early in the week and I was able to accomodate without any issues. On the day of the project, they arrived on time. Their prepwork was perfect, no extra pain on the carpet or trim. We had them paint 3 bedrooms, kitchen, living, and family room (walls only) before we moved into a new home. End results looked great! They were even able to patch up a hole in the wall were the previous owners and run cables through. All in all, the wife and I were extremely happy with the end result. I anticipate calling them in spring for some more work (likely exterior/deck staining) and maybe another bedroom. Thank you."

"Our experience with THAT 1 PAINTER was excellent! We needed the wrought iron railing on the front and back of our townhome to be resurfaced and painted They were quick to give us an estimate; the price was fair and reasonable; they scheduled the work to be done within a week of receiving the estimate; and they arrived on time as promised! We were very pleased with the quality of work performed and will definitely call on them again for any future painting needs!"

"Rogelio Rodas and his team are extremely punctual, professional and meticulous about their work. I hired them to pressure wash my townhome (corner unit) and the deck. They then sanded and stained the deck, replaced all of rotted wood trim and parts of the wood garage door, and painted all exterior trim (including windows) and the front door. The house looks great and I’ve received many compliments from neighbors. I will definitely rehire Rogelio and his team."

"Very messy painters, seemed like someone who was taken off the street to paint. Paint splatters on floors. Painted deck, do not believe they used the amount of the pre paint solution I had bought and did not do two coats, I bought 2 gallons of deck paint from sherwin williams and they didnt even use one whole gallon, did not paint one of the deck post that was in the ground. Paint didnt even last through one summer, told owner and said he would be back in late spring (2016) to remain the deck, never saw them again."

"Craig Merrill and his team were a great pleasure to work with. Craig was very responsive and accommodating to my schedule. He first came out to measure the home, provided a quote, and facilitated a color consultation from Patricia, his wife and business partner. She helped me decide on neutral colors for the home, including the use of accent walls. She took my current and future needs into consideration and was very attentive to all my verbal and non-verbal cues regarding my conservative paint color preferences. Craig was willing to use any brand of paint I preferred, but did provide recommendations that already matched my paint preferences.
On the day of the scheduled paint job, a crew of approximately 8 painters arrived promptly and began working on our home. We spent the weekend before organizing some of our mess, or consolidating items to the center of each room, but I am confident that the crew would have helped us with anything we did not prep ahead of time. They moved furniture, removed paintings, mirrors, and wall decorations with ease, and covered all of our belongings for protection. The crew worked diligently and professionally throughout the day. They did tape some baseboards and wainscoting, but I was incredibly surprised and impressed with the steady hand of the painters that did not require tape. I cannot rave more about the quality of work that they performed in one day. They filled holes and sanded and painted for approximately 10-11 hours. At the end of the day, we only had 2 bathrooms left to be painted, though they had been prepped by the paint team. They came back at a time convenient for us a few days later and finished the job with 2 crew members. All team members were very professional and pleasant. They fixed cracks in our ceiling, and covered water leakage marks on two other bedroom ceilings. Craig and/or the project manager, Kyle, came to my townhouse on both days of painting and performed quality control checks and to see if there were any concerns.
I was very pleased with every step of the process from beginning to end. I mentioned my Angie's List membership on the day of the paint job, completely forgetting to mention it early on when we were given a price quote. Craig happily obliged to honor the discount associated with an Angie's List membership, solidifying my appreciation for his business. He and his team aim to please and I highly recommend his business to friends, family, and neighbors.
