    Would give more stars if possible! Five Star completed full exterior and interior painting of our home. Fair pricing, timely in every aspect... communication and arrival times, color expert to help choose your perfect colors, meticulous neatness, extremely respectful of home, amazing work, and everyone was a pleasure to work with. I have pictures but they just don't do the work justice. Highly recommend without reservation.

    Used them for the first time, very happy! The person who gave us a quote was very thorough. They painted our deck in September and did a perfect job plus showed respect for our property. I like the way a project manager came the day before, we met with him and the painting team and then he came back after the job was done to inspect it and make sure we were fully satisfied before paying. In January they came and did interior painting and I was also great! There was a few areas in the bathroom we needed touched up and the project manager came the next day and took care of it for us. I’ve been very happy with the whole process and recommend them highly!

    Five star painting did two colors on the entire exterior of my house. Not only Did they do an exemplary job of painting, but they were very careful with our sidewalks plants and borders. They showed up on Time every day, and worked diligently, efficiently, and quietly. My wife and I would recommend them for any of your painting needs.

    Picking Harmonious Wall Color and Floor Combinations

    While we can all appreciate a beautifully decorated room, what really ties it all together is the combination of colors that work in harmony to create the perfect look and feel. One aspect of achieving the right color combination that is sometimes overlooked is choosing the perfect wall color to suit your flooring, which can affect the overall aesthetic of your space.

    Ultimately, selecting the right wall color to compliment your floor will depend on the style of the room, its purpose and function, and your existing furniture and décor.

    Thankfully, the experts at your local Five Star Painting can help you narrow down the options to choose the best floor and wall color combination for your space.

    The Right Way to Remove Ceiling Water Stains and Restore Your Home

    Fortunately, there are several methods for effective ceiling water stain removal to restore their beauty.

    Can You Paint Pressure-Treated Wood?

    Although you can paint pressure-treated wood, stain will usually adhere better than paint does. The primary reason is that the preservatives in pressure-treated wood make it harder for the paint to bond to the wooden surface. But don’t worry, it’s still possible to paint your deck or fence if you take the proper precautions.

    Keep in mind that wood that has been pressure-treated needs to be completely dry so it can absorb the paint or stain.

    For a long-lasting and great-looking finish, first evaluate the wood’s moisture content, then apply the correct stain or primer and paint.
