"Aaron, Nathan, and their crew did a very thorough job with power washing our house and fence, caulking, and prep-work. They did a meticulous job painting the house and staining the fence. The team was costumer focused. We had a very positive experience with Priceless Painting Contractors."

"I am going to give a 5 star rating, and we did not even hire him for the job. Our decision was almost entirely based on timing issues. However, of the companies we contacted, Brett's customer care was by far the most efficient. His communication was clear, and his response times were top notch!"

"Jake was hired by my landlord to paint our entire building, including my restaurant. He did a really good job painting, including realizing there was brick and Foundation damage. He contacted the landlord who contacted the contractor and had another company come out and fix the bricks and Foundation, so he could then finish his painting. He did a very good job and a very thorough job in a quick amount of time so that my restaurant did not have to close down for two many hours or days"

"I had my barn power wash, sand, and painted, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. From the very beginning, they were professional, punctual, and extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to carefully sand down the rough and weathered areas. The paint job was excellent . The barn looks brand better than I ever imagined. What really stood out to me was how communicative and helpful he wasthroughout the entire process. Every question I had was answered with patience and clarity, and I always felt informed and confident in the work being done. If you’re looking for someone who takes pride in their work and truly cares about customer satisfaction, I highly recommend!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must. 

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.

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths

For homes in areas with extreme weather, high heat, or intense sun exposure, high-quality acrylic paint is the best option. Acrylic paint is durable, resistant to both heat and cold, and provides a protective barrier with excellent UV resistance. For best results, look for acrylics that contain natural earth pigments, which are better suited for resisting sun damage. While oil-based paint is also durable, it can be prone to fading in high heat and can become too viscous to apply easily in cold temperatures. Additionally, choosing a neutral or light color like gray, beige, or white can help, as these colors absorb less heat than darker shades.

Avoid using cleaning products that are abrasive or contain bleach or acidic components on composite decking to avoid discoloration. Early-generation Trex decking isn’t designed to handle pressure washer cleaning—and if you use them on second-generation boards, always use a low setting to avoid the risk of damage that can risk voiding your warranty.
