"I was thrilled that Leo from Crystal Painting could get his painters to do the work almost right away, which was what I needed. I never met them, but my tenants said they were very professional and cleaned up well after themselves. The only reason I didn't give an Excellent rating was because I did think the price was a little high. But since I didn't have much time before the re-inspection, I did not get estimates, just hired the first company I hired. So it's possible that this was a good price and in that case, I would rate excellent!"

"Mark was very friendly, professional, responsive and finished the job a timely manner. He gave us a fair estimate and was able to accurately describe the scope of the project up front. We had just bought a 1967 ranch that needed updating and Mark and his team removed some paneling and layers of old painted wallpaper from almost every room in the house, repaired the walls and painted our new house to get it ready for us to move in and make our home. He was also knowledgeable about helping us choose the right paint color and finish. He even stood by his work and helped us fix a snafu weeks later in the bathroom due us not having a working fan. I highly recommend Color Concepts."

"I have written this review in hopes that it provides Wander with additional advice that he can correct to provide painting services that are acceptable. I put off writing this, but believe that customer reviews are valuable to homeowners looking for services. I was willing to overlook some issues but I have spent so much time touching up the paint job from this company that I feel obligated to provide these comments. The task was to paint the entire house with two coats of paint with two walls of new clapboard requiring one coat primer before the two coats of paint. I gave the job to Multicollor Painting Plus because Wander was the owner and one of the workers, and had three painters working for him. I like the idea of the owner being on site for the entire job; easier to get things changed or fixed before it gets out of hand. His company is listed with 25 years of experience and had many 5 star ratings. Unfortunately, Angi does not verifiy any details of the contractor. In this case Wander purchased the company in early 2020; while the company he purchased had 25 years of experience, he does not. He has no experience managing a company. There was no “contract” to sign, only the email he sent listing the services provided. I was OK with that, however, I was surprised to hear he was going to spray paint the house when the email said nothing about that. I realized that spraying saves time but I’m not a big fan and reduced the agreed work to provide two coats on the new wood and only one coat on the rest of the house since the paint surface was in pretty good shape. I also deleted painting the doors and the new trim above the new siding. When he showed up to start painting he had no ladders on his truck, only a step ladder, and only had one other painter. What happened to the three painters that worked for him. Works out they were working at another site and had his ladders. He asked where the nearest Home Depot was located because he intended to by a new ladder and the rest of the supplies needed for the job. Why not purchase his materials before showing up for work? Since he was travelling an hour or so from his house to mine, they were only working a six hour day. Makes no sense. While we were discussing the time difference between brush and spray painting and I made my work reduction offer, I learned that he figured he could paint the house in four or five days. I thought that could be done with four workers, but he only showed up with one employee beside himself. The house is 1800 square foot two story house with a two car garage and he figured he could paint it in four days at six hours a day. I asked how he priced the job estimate and said he just picked a number that seemed reasonable. He had no clue. No planning experience at all. I felt sorry for him and wrote six pages of instruction on how to build a cost estimate and provided a blank spreadsheet to go with it. I also provided a spreadsheet that documented the job of painting my house with the number of hours per day, what work they did each day, costs of materials and that he should still have made some profit based on his labor and expenses. In addition, I provided notes I compiled about things that could have been done better. There was no attention to detail, or following the agreed upon work. He was to clean off all surfaces and removed all dirt and mildew. I believe he only used water in the power washer as there was no residue from soap on the ground and the walls in some places are still dirty because they weren’t painted. Caulking – fill all cracks and gaps. Some done but very sloppy. Did not caulk recessed nail heads on new clapboard. Scaping and Sanding – I spent a lot of time going around and scrapping loose paint and sanding areas that were missed and on the weekend I scraped, sanded and caulked one side of the house because I wanted it done correctly and not rushed because it was taking longer than he guessed. Painting. Very sloppy. One issue I had was that he was painting the clapboard and the edge of the trim abutting the siding with the same color. I had made a point of telling him (and the other bidding contractors) that I expected the trim to be blue on all sides and only the clapboard to be tan. Of course they intended to do it the quick way and I had him go around and paint the edge of the trim blue. He made no attempt to remove the downspouts from the walls and just painted around them until I could remove them myself, and did not detach the downspouts from the second story when he was painting there. Typically, painters start at the top and work their way down. However, Wander had one painter working off a step ladder painting a wall, then he would follow him with the longer ladder to paint the top part. Makes no sense as many drips resulted on the lower section. His and his employee(s) skills as painters are questionable. They are not careful painters, they do not pay attention when they are slapping on paint, and are not focused on details such as painting inside the lines, and painting up to the line. Wander made no attempt to review the quality of the work as it was being done. He purchased one 20 foot ladder that was sufficient for much of the house except for the ends of the house which require a 28 foot ladder. Instead of making him go buy one, I let him use my ladder, as well as my 20 foot ladder when he finally brought a third painter. I think Wander can be successful as a painter and suggest he be contacted to provide an estimate. Perhaps a whole house is beyond his present capabilities. But you should be perfectly clear on what your expectations are, have him provide a contract to sign, and hold him to it. There may be some value in contacting with a larger firm that sub-contracts the work to small painting companies, but at least there is likely to be some oversight of how work is completed."

Deck staining or paintings FAQs

When you paint your deck, you can choose any color, and cleanup is easy, but the paint hides the natural wood grain. Stain, on the other hand, lets the wood grain shine through, but requires more maintenance. The cost to seal a deck is about the same as painting. Consider your personal preferences to see which option benefits you most.

For bare wood or cement decks, you only need to clean the surface before applying the first coat of paint. If you're recoating an existing finish, you'll need to pressure wash the deck to remove chipped paint and debris. Either way, make sure to allow the surface to fully dry before moving forward; otherwise, the finish could peel.

A gallon of paint covers between 125 and 300 square feet, depending on its formula. Since your deck might need two coats of paint, for a standard 300-square-foot deck, you might need two to four gallons. If you're painting a pool deck, keep in mind that the specialized non-slip paint covers less area because the texturized material takes up more space in the can.

The cost to stain a deck ranges from $2 to $4 per square foot, which is similar to the average deck painting cost. For a 300- to 400-square-foot deck, you might pay from $600 to $1,600 for staining. After staining, it’s a good idea to seal the deck; sealing a deck costs $0.50 to $3 per square foot.

Yes, you can paint directly over old deck paint if the existing finish is in excellent condition. You should inspect the surface to ensure there's no cracking, peeling, or chipping before proceeding. If you notice any deterioration, you'll need to remove the compromised paint.

Primer enhances the adhesion of the new paint, establishes a moisture barrier, and creates a smooth, uniform surface. Be sure to inspect your deck for any defects or old finishes, and use a high-quality primer to fully prepare the surface for a durable and pristine finish.
