Customers say: True professional

"Joey and T&T painting define professionalism. I requested a quote for two summer cottages, a garage and two sheds to be repainted. T&T responded and quickly provided a fair quote that included prep, paint to include trim and metal/cauking installation. Work was completed promptly with daily text and or phone calls with photos of progress. Site was kept clean during the project. If you need exterior painting completed I don't think you can do better based on my experience with T&T Painting. Simply excellent!"

"Integrity comes to mind when thinking about my new wooden stockade privacy fence. The fence itself has a lot of integrity and is straight and tall and strong. It was built by a man of integrity. I am so grateful I looked on Angi for someone to build my fence. Javon called me almost right away to offer his services. Javon is honest, efficient, professional, kind, thoughtful, respectful and caring. He made this project a lot of fun, and he built a fence for me that exceeds my expectations. For Javon, nothing less than perfection will do. Nothing is done halfway, and he meets rules and regulations of the area while honoring my wishes, such as leaving the ends ready for adding on. Javon is prompt, and he works hard. When finished he cleans up the work area, even if he'll be back. Even as he works the work area is organized and efficient. I can't say enough good things about his work habits and standing as a fine young man. I love my fence!"

"Was able to come out and quote within a couple of days & able to complete work based on my needed timeline. Very professional, and Sean was the sole painter which I appreciated the person I met doing the work. No paint on trim or new flooring, very precise. Will hire again and recommend to friends and family. Thank you! - Nick & Jen"

"Mike at Trinity gave a fair and professional estimate; he came when he said he would and completed the job in a timely manner.  We asked him to repair Sheetrock and paint ceiling and walls in foyer, trim around a new dishwasher, touch up ceilings in other rooms, replace bathroom vents, repair closet doors, and fix a hole in a bedroom wall.  Not only was the work done well, but he cleans up meticulously.  He admits to "over-draping" to keep all areas free of splatter and mess.  I highly recommend him.

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

No, it is not okay to paint over rotted wood. Painting over rotted wood will not address the underlying issue and can trap moisture, leading to further decay. Properly addressing the rotted wood by removing and replacing or repairing the damaged areas is necessary before you can even consider painting.

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

A wood deck requires annual cleaning and regular inspections for loose or broken boards, nails, and screws. It should be refinished by applying a stain or sealer every two to three years to protect the wood from water damage, rot, mildew, and sun fading. The exact frequency can depend on the climate and the deck's exposure to sun and moisture. If your deck is painted, it will need repainting approximately every 10 years. Signs that your deck needs refinishing include faded, splintering, or warping boards.

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.

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.
