Services
Exterior House Painting
Our exterior house painting service enhances curb appeal while protecting your home from weather damage. We use premium Sherwin Williams paints and meticulous brush/roller application to ensure even coverage and long-lasting durability. Customers benefit from a detailed consultation to select optimal colors and finishes tailored to their property's unique needs.
Staining
We provide high-quality staining for wood siding, decks, and porches using Sherwin Williams products. Our process includes thorough surface preparation to ensure proper stain adhesion and longevity. This service protects wooden structures from UV damage and moisture while enhancing natural wood grain aesthetics.
Fences Decks Painting
We specialize in painting fences, decks, playsets, and sheds with the same attention to detail as main structures. Our team addresses unique challenges of outdoor structures, including weatherproofing and slip-resistant coatings for decks. This service extends the lifespan of these high-traffic areas while maintaining visual consistency with home exteriors.
Power Washing
Our powerwashing service removes dirt, mildew, and old paint residue to create a pristine surface for painting. We use adjustable pressure techniques to safely clean delicate surfaces without damage. This foundational step ensures optimal paint adhesion and a smoother final finish.
Scraping
We meticulously scrape away peeling paint and smooth rough surfaces to create an ideal base for painting. This critical preparation step prevents future paint failure and ensures a flawless final coat. Our technicians identify and repair underlying issues like wood rot during this phase.

Report
Signed a contract to get deck stained. They required a deposit of $280. They came and power washed the deck which I had done a few weeks before. There was some damage as a result of their power washing. They then said they could not do the job because of a lack of help. They only returned $200 of my deposit and said the rest was for their time power washing my deck. Something I did not need if they weren't going to stain it. When I questioned the reason behind not returning the full amount I was met with arrogance by their manager Chris Persiko. When I called the main office several times

Absolutely horrible service. Would not take any recommendations of "please don't paint in the rain" and ruined the front of my house. After months of waiting to start the job they completely rushed the job and caused more damage than good. Then tried to repair there mistake just but ended up making matters worse. My hands are tied because there contract limits them from any liability for repairs that they may cause (but insures they will get paid!). They demanded payment for there poor quality job. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere!

I wish I could provide something positive to say however we were quoted for a job back in March and the job was expected to start in May. Received a phone call two weeks prior to when we anticipated the job being started to be notified that the date would be pushed out till July. Just received a phone call a week prior to when they were supposed to start the job to be notified they have to cancel all together. Waste of 6 months.

They quoted the job! Came out one day to paint. The next day I had to call three times. They came out at 11 am. Told me their $3000 Quote was invalid. They claimed it should be $12,000. Noah Ellinger a manager and Jacob Brauer an employee proceeded to post fake reviews about our business on Google. BEWARE!

My refundable deposit was supposed to be returned due to my previous review and the local rep in Gilford NH is not responding to my request. Would like to know how you are going to resolve. And how do I contact your corporate office?
