"Working with Terry and his staff was one of the smoothest and most satisfying experiences I’ve had with an Angi contractor. They showed up on time every time and did a great job painting the entire exterior of my home. I would recommend them for anyone looking ft or a painter. I will be contacting them again once I get going on the interior."

"Paint. Exterior of house and detached garage. Very thorough pressure wash, scraping, caulking, priming and 2 coats of spray paint on hardi board siding. I was impressed with their attention to detail of all their preparation before painting. Their price was reasonable for all they did. Very satisfied and happy customer and will call them again on my next paint project. The quality of workmanship was outstanding."

"Justin runs the show and is professional, polite and informative. Daniel, the painter, and his team were awesome. The quality of the paint was excellent as was his painting techniques and attention to detail. He caulked all cracks and even identified his own areas for touch up. Sergi (sp?) did the siding to the house, dry rot repair and a little fence work. Again, top notch. All siding and repairs were detailed, accurate and all caulking was excellent. All parties really ensured that no corners were cut! Very worth the price. The quality of work far surpasses the construction company that built the house. I will use them again for sure."

"Would hire Mike again. He worked on a paint bubble problem I had on the side of the house and was able to use the right stuff so the bubbles did not come back. He and his crew are meticulous in their painting, very neat and clean."

"Vadim and his crew love their job and they are great at it. They painted our whole house and deck in 3 days including all prep. They filled all the cracks in the wood and the finished job looks fantastic. It sets our house apart from all others on the street. Competitive price but a bargain for the high quality job they did."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, you must thoroughly clean your deck before staining. If you don't, dirt, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped between the wood and the new stain. This not only looks unsightly but also prevents the stain from penetrating the wood properly, reducing its ability to protect the deck from weather and UV rays. As a result, the stain won't last as long or look as good. Any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning for the wood to dry completely before applying stain.

If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.

Whether to paint or stain a deck depends on your personal preference for appearance and budget. Stain provides a natural look with a range of undertones, is typically less expensive, and may only require one coat, but it does not last as long as paint. Paint offers a sleeker finish with a virtually unlimited color palette. Both options will protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear.

Here's the deal with leaving used rags covered in oil-based stain lying around in a pile: Depending on the conditions, these rags can take just an hour or up to a few days to combust. The source of ignition is caused by trapped heat that can be compounded if the rags are near a heat source.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.
