Customers say: True professional

"Mario was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the very beginning of the quoting process to finishing the deck staining, he was very professional, communicative, friendly, and did an amazing job. His pricing was more than reasonable and I look forward to working with his company again next year to repaint the exterior of my house."

"We recently purchased our house knowing it needed to be repainted. I began looking for painters in June and schedule 3 estimates for end of June/early July. Scott was my third estimate. I had an appointment for Monday, July 3 but no one showed up. When I called to ask, Scott offered to come out on July 4. I took this as a good sign for customer service and responsiveness. Although his was one of the higher bids, I chose Emerald Coats for several reasons: Scott's willingness to take time out of his holiday to give an estimate Very favorable reviews and status on Angie's List Scott's extensive experience and knowledge of paint and wood Expected project timeline and completion by end of August. This summer we also had our deck replaced to fix a hazardous situation caused by poor construction quality (a process that only started after 8 months waiting on a permit from the city). Due to delivery lead time required to get the decking material, we knew there would be a ~2 week break during construction. Our hope was to have the house painted during this window to make everything as efficient as possible. When I brought this up with Scott, I was told this wouldn't be a problem and, if the timing didn't work out, the two crews would be able to work around each other without incident. Scott informed me his crew had several jobs ahead of ours so there might be a delay. As August rolled around, I asked for an update on when pressure washing and painting, I consistently got an answer that it would start in the next week or so. After the third time I mentioned that we were coming up on the end of our window for painting without the construction crew at the house. Finally, his crew came out to pressure wash with the expectation of getting started early the next week (allowing time for the house to dry). The construction crew was back when they came to paint, so Scott's crew started priming on the opposite side of the house. At first this arrangement was fine, but once the crew started encroaching on the construction area, difficulties arose. First, the crews had a very hard time working in the same location. We received calls independently from both Scott and the construction company owner informing us of issues related to the other crew. My wife and I each had to intervene on separate occasions to ensure ease tensions and smooth over the relationship. Second (and this was a major reason we hoped to have painting done before the new deck was installed), overspray and paint splatter occurred several times, causing the construction crew to have to clean up and in one instance replace several already installed planks. Third, there were a couple places where siding had been removed to install decking and support. I confirmed with Scott that he or his crew could come back to paint those once they were put back on. Scott asked that the boards be primed prior to his coming back. The construction crew used the remaining primer to do what they could on the new siding but what was left did not cover all the wood. Consequently, this led to further delays as we did not understand priming and painting could not occur on the same day. Ultimately, the house was painted and the quality of work done by Scott’s crew was generally very high. We are happy with the final product. Unfortunately, an estimated one week project took nearly a month and required intervention on the part of myself or my wife at nearly every turn."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Eggshell and satin finishes are best for porches because they sit in the sweet spot between scuffable matte and distracting high gloss. Your porch sees a fair amount of wear and tear, so you don’t want paint that’ll show every mark like matte, but you don’t want to be blinded by glossy paint in the sun either. Eggshell and satin have durability and a look that sits nicely in the middle.

For the longest-lasting exterior paint, consider acrylic or enamel (oil-based) paints. Acrylic paints, including acrylic latex and acrylic enamel, are known for withstanding harsh weather and sun exposure. Enamel-based paints are also one of the most durable options available. While latex paint is common, it typically has a shorter lifespan than acrylic or oil-based options. The paint's finish also affects its durability; a higher gloss finish is generally more durable. For resistance to moisture and cracking, matte and satin finishes can be effective, while a high-gloss acrylic or oil-based paint offers a combination of maximum longevity and durability.

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. 

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

Yes, it is generally a very good idea to seal your deck after pressure washing. Power washing removes not only dirt and debris but also a thin layer of wood, leaving the surface exposed and more susceptible to weathering. Sealing is almost always needed after this process. After a general cleaning, sealing isn't automatically necessary if the existing sealant is still intact. You can test the surface by placing a few drops of water on it. If the water beads up, the sealant is working. If it soaks into the wood, it's time to apply a new sealant. If it has been a few years, it's wise to remove the old sealant, wash the deck, and reseal for maximum protection.
