Welcome to Straight Line Painters and Services LLC, a small treasure coast family-owned & operated painting company. Interior and exterior painting by a highly-skilled crew that specializes in working in occupied homes. We're professionals at working around furniture, dogs, high ceilings, and a demanding schedule. When it's time to repaint your exterior it's important to hire the right painter. Hiring the cheapest painter may save you a few dollars but having a professional company gives you peace of mind knowing it's done right. And guaranteed by a solid company. While the lowest price "painter" may cut corners prepping, using cheap paint & unskilled painters our company Straight Line Painters and Services LLC gives you the best value. Skilled full-time painters, quality prep & premium PPG / Porter Paints and we're upfront with what we do listing our scope of work & warranties on our website. So many painters here come & go, hire one year, and next year he's nowhere to be found so his "guarantee" is not much good. At Straight Line Painters LLC we hire skilled painters not laborers and have been in the painting trade for over 15 years.
"We were completely dissatisfied with this company, to say the least! First of wall, as soon as we provided the initial payment - one half of the total, the job didn't resume for 3 days and we were then advised that they wouldn't be back for a week due to the corona virus. We also had to remove the debris ourselves. In addition: 1. Thursday, March 19, 2002 at which time you were given a check for $2,031.00, directly after which you left the property. returned and advised that, until Monday, March 23, 2020. 2. On March 23, 2020 you advised that due to your employees’ concerns about the corona virus, your company would not be continuing the project for the remainder of the week. 3. I requested that the bags of debris in my mother’s front yard be removed but remained in my mother’s yard. 4. On March 23rd, approximately 20 bags of debris in my mother’s front yard. 5. Approximately six days later the bags were still in her yard and I contacted Straight Line again about its removal and was assured they would be removed, and yet again they were not. We had to have them removed on two separate occasions – for the rear bedroom and hall. 6. Notwithstanding our denial of access, its employees threw wood into the backyard. 7. This company lied on several occasions about insulation in the rear bedroom – had originally only installed only partially – and only completely when we addressed it. Initially Odes said the entire room was done, then when we showed him that it was not, he acted surprised and blamed his employees. 8. Without authorization or directive, they threw away the light fixtures from the rear bedroom and hallway. When I inquired about this, you simply stated they didn’t work. This was not true and the careless way it was dismissed this matter was unprofessional and insulting. 9. They installed wood to repair the rear bedroom floor, which was almost three times the size of the original slats. Although replaced, they are still noticeably larger than the originals. 10. communicated this matter to you via email. 11. These wood basins were replaced in such a fashion to make them jut out from the wall and was cut in very odd places. On April 7, 2020, Odes admitted that the wood basins were cut prior to installation because it would not fit in his truck and refused to fix them. 12. No shoe molding was installed. Upon inspection and when I inquired Odes responded that he did not put any because if another floor is installed it will have to be removed. 13. Straight Line Painters and Services only removed half of the ceiling, insisting that the other half of it was in great condition and left large lumps in the ceiling where the drywall meets. 14. The hallway walls were not adequately sanded so that lumps are apparent everywhere and the painting was sparse and clearly not enough to adequately cover the walls. 15. One if its employees sat in the rear bedroom window seal and cracked the wood 16. No tarp was used so that floor in bedroom and hall had large amounts of dried compound all over the floors. 17. Wood basins near front door of bedroom have gauged out wood from removal of old top molding. 18. Bottom shoe molding was not replaced 19. Compound at top and bottom of both windows cracked and bulging. 20. Rear wall has dents and exposed tape from sanding 21. Wood basins from window to window are not flush and even where the wood was cut was not butted properly and needs repair. Compound was used to attempt to repair the damage from installation and it flaked off and fell to the floor. 22. Drywall tape exposed in different places after sanding 23. Wood basin top molding near second window (wall near entrance door) has gaps on either side. It was cut too short and no attempt was made to repair or replace it 24. All corners need smoothing 25. Some areas of compound were not sanded but rather just painted over. 26. When asked to repair the exposed seams and holes where the wall and window jams meet, Odes advised that this was the job for a painter. 27. The drywall around and under the windows was cut too short leaving gaps and holes around it. 28. Odes unwilling to address the cracks between the wood used to repair the floor but acknowledged that his staff mistakenly cut into the wood already on the floor on either side of repairs. 29. the wood that was replaced on the second window (employee mistakenly threw away the original) was cut too short at the top and bottom. Odes was not willing to remedy this, stating that it was typical and just caulked. This is not so it was cut noticeably too short. As evidenced by pictures, Straight Line Painters and Services’ work product was unsatisfactory, unprofessional, and the ending result was a great many matters were left incomplete, unaddressed and were merely talked over and waved away as if it was nothing, to our complete dismay and utter dissatisfaction. It was a nightmare! We grew weary of Odes’ excuses, and the company’s unwillingness to address the problems associated with this project In closing, we are completely dissatisfied with this company’s services, unwillingness to listen to the customer, blatant ignorance of customer’s concerns, and refusal to provide professional, quality services. We found this company to be untruthful on several occasions, and they refused to make necessary repairs due to your company’s faulty workmanship The job was done very poorly, they refused to make adjustments due to their faulty workmanship, told repeated lies and to add insult to injury at the end of the job Odes said, "I don't even know how or where YOU people found me, I don't usually deal with your kind. You think you have a crib; you should see my house. I live in NJ. You people live in the ghetto. I am from Nigeria and Americans do not have respect.” What a nasty and racist remark to make! It was both unnecessary, uncalled for and hurtful and I think others should know what they are dealing with if they are unfortunate enough to encounter this company. THEY ARE HORRIBLE! I have never experienced anything like this in my life and I have the pictures to prove it. This was a project to help my elderly mother and Straight-Line Painters and Services turned it into a disaster that we must hire another company to fix! They have no idea what they are doing and should never touch another person’s home!"

Michael & Son is family owned & operated and has been servicing the Virginia, Maryland and Washington DC area for over 30 years. We take great pride in providing our customers with the highest quality plumbing services. Our professional and courteous staff are here to help you with whatever projects you need to get done.
"Was it the worst experience...? Was it the best experience...? Neither. Yes, I have hot water. Yes, the piping looks great for the tankless hot water. But, they had to come back a 2nd time to fill in the hole. See pictures. Yes, I was taken advantage of. I paid way too much. The final bill matched the estimate but in retrospect it was too much. Customer service simply stopped once I started challenging the work that was done. I have a large pipe sticking out of my condo that is unsightly. After I asked to have it corrected I was ignored. I would not recommend this company."

Use a stiff-bristle brush and warm, soapy water to loosen surface grime. Then, let the grout dry and finish with a grout-specific sealant. This combo cleans without scratching the tile and locks out new stains. Always follow the label directions so the cleaner and sealant bond properly. A few extra minutes of care keep grout bright and help your floors look fresher longer.
The most effective cleaner for badly stained grout is a professional-grade steam machine. High-pressure, high-heat vapor lifts embedded dirt without harsh chemicals and brightens grout lines in one pass. Pros often pre-treat tough spots with a mild solution and finish with a soft brush to protect the tile. The result is a deep, even clean that lasts longer than store-bought products.
Tile and grout are water-resistant, not waterproof. Dense materials like porcelain or glass shed moisture well, but even sealed natural stone and standard cement grout can absorb water over time. That’s why routine sealing and prompt spill cleanup matter.
Keeping moisture out prevents erosion, mold, and discoloration—especially in bathrooms, kitchens, and other splash-prone areas.
Schedule professional tile and grout cleaning every six to 12 months, with quick touch-ups in between. Busy kitchens and bathrooms often need attention on the shorter end of that range because constant moisture speeds up staining.
Sticking to this routine keeps grime from setting, reduces mold risk, and stretches the life of your tile and grout, saving you from bigger repairs later.
When done correctly, tile and grout cleaning is perfectly safe for your floors. Pros match cleaners and brushes to your tile type, control pressure, and avoid harsh chemicals that can etch or erode surfaces.
If you’re DIYing, test new products in an inconspicuous spot and follow label directions. The right technique removes buildup while protecting both the tile glaze and the grout lines.
Yes—apply a fresh sealer once the grout is completely dry, usually 24 hours after cleaning. The sealer forms a moisture-resistant barrier that blocks stains, mold, and everyday dirt, making future scrubbing easier. Skipping this step leaves porous grout exposed, which can lead to discoloration or cracks and, ultimately, expensive repairs. A quick reseal now protects both the grout and the surrounding tile.
