"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"

"The entire team from Classic Finishes are respectful, competent, friendly, punctual and extremely skilled at which each of them does. From Evan, the owner, who negotiated with me an excellent rate after I obtained quotes from a total of five companies, to Bob who provided great consultation on the best way to complete the project, to Peter whose carpentry skills are second to none, and to Luis whose painting and popcorn ceiling removal skills are undeniably amazing. I am very pleased and lucky I hired Classic Finishes and I highly recommend!"

"Exceptional!! Jesus and his co-worker, George, provided excellent painting service! They were very quick, accurate, hard working and always cleaned up at end of day. They did a great job filling the cracks and also repaired areas of rotted wood. Also very personable! I highly recommend Arcaya Pro Painters."

"Summit Painters showed up precisely when he said he would and worked diligently throughout the entire process. We wanted all Popcorn Ceilings removed throughout our main floor, all ceilings repainted, (total of 9 areas including 3 closets) all Wallpaper and Wallpaper Boarders removed and to repaint Hallway, Kitchen, Dining and Living Room to match. When he was allowing one project area to dry, cure or sand, he was working on another project in between. He never had down time. He completed the project the day he said he would. He was very accommodating, friendly and easy to work with. I highly recommend Summit Painters."

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, beginners can use a paint sprayer, but there is a learning curve. It's important to go slowly, read the instructions thoroughly, and spend some time learning the technique. Watching tutorial videos for your specific paint sprayer model can be very helpful. Before starting your main project, practice on a scrap surface to get used to the sprayer and avoid common issues like overspraying, which can cause drips, bubbles, and other imperfections. For safety, always wear a mask and gloves, and be careful not to touch the sprayer's tip when it's in use, particularly with high-powered airless sprayers.

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

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.

Whether you can paint over your existing paint depends on what’s on there. Most of the time, you’ll want to sand down or scrape off the paint that’s currently coating your surface. Epoxy paint, for example, won’t let new paint stick to the surface. Latex paint is more forgiving and will accept a new coat, but a primer is recommended if you’re switching colors.

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.
