Our unique hand painting process results in a high quality, long-lasting paint job. Our goal is to complete each project to your satisfaction. From our office staff to our painting crews, we train our team to deliver the highest level of service. Residential repaint contractor specializing in hand painting only.

"I could not be more happy with my experience with Twin City painting! They are professional from start to finish. They have so many years of experience in this area it shows in their work and end product! The communication was great from top to bottom. I had LOTS of questions and they were all answered in great detail. The employees are clearly engaged and honest. The salesman/estimator, Seth, was fantastic and then the project manager, Ian, was just a pleasure to work with. Very detail oriented and always goes the extra mile. The painters were efficient, friendly and did a fantastic job. They kept a very clean job site. I can't find an area of the house I'm not pleased with. They paint the house by hand and have an amazing 7 year warranty! Painting by hand is more expensive than painting with sprayers, but the qualify, customer service and long warranty make it more than worth it! I will use this company in the future and recommend to all of my family/friends!"

"Shaun is a skilled craftsman who takes great pride in his work.. After removing the old wood decking it was apparent there was significant dry rot. Shaun had to sister in six support stringer extensions where dry rot was removed. He needed to add more stringers required for composite decking. We were expanding the surface area of the deck, three additional support beams were required. Because the property has a steep grade insuring the deck was totally level was a challenge. Shaun has an amazing ability to visualize the needed changes and design structural support to correct any deficiencies in the previous design. He custom cut additional supports to prevent any bounce in the deck floor. Shaun is an excellent communicator. He explained what was needed and kept us informed throughout the entire project. He is a true professional. He showed up on time every day and work diligently throughout the day. At the end of the day he cleaned the area, stacked his tools and covered them to protect against the weather. I would highly recommend Shaun. Two of my neighbors dropped by periodically to observe the project as it progressed. Both are going to hire Shaun to repair their decks. In short, Shaun is a dedicated and skilled craftsman who takes great pride in his work. He is a great communicator and if he showed up in a business suit you would think he was a stock broker, attorney or CEO of a large company. A true professional!!!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

No, your deck will not rot under artificial grass as long as it is installed properly. When installed correctly, the artificial grass features a drainage system that prevents rotting. Simply laying artificial grass on top of the decking without proper installation will not lead to an effective drainage system that prevents rotting.

The best way to sand a deck is by cleaning it, sanding the boards and stairs with 60- or 80-grit sandpaper, and sanding the railings and posts with 80-grit sandpaper. You should sand in the direction of the wood grain to avoid damaging the timber. When sanding your deck, use medium pressure and aim for an even sand. Pressing too hard with a sander can damage decks, as most are softwoods.

Cutting the boards directly is one of the fastest ways to remove deck boards with hidden fasteners. Mark two parallel lines that are one-third of the total measurement on both ends and cut out the centerpiece. Then, remove the end of the board that doesn’t have a fastener. Finally, pry open the fastened side and pull it up to pop out the screw or access the fastener. This also allows you to salvage portions of boards for other projects.

Start with a 60- or 80-grit sandpaper when sanding a deck, though this could change depending on the type of wood that comprises the deck and how smooth you want the overall finish. If you prioritize a smooth final finish, progress to a finer grit like 120 or 150. Avoid ultra-fine grits for traditional sanding, as it could close up the wood pores and make it harder to apply a finish down the line.

Any wood deck provides some ventilation to the area below, as is the nature of that type of deck design. However, areas that experience excessive humidity and associated moisture benefit greatly from a dedicated ventilation system in the form of strip vents. This addition helps the various wood boards contract and expand evenly throughout the years and reduces the chances of twisting, warping, and buckling.
