"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!"

"It went very well. Alan was an absolute pleasure to work with. I immediately felt comfortable with him. He answered all my questions and concerns when he first came to give me an estimate on the job. He was flexible on beginning the job. He was able to start in a few days, but I needed a month to fulfill some commitments and to get my place ready. He was very understanding, and we agreed on a date. He arrived on the day we set, and he and his co-worker finished in the time he said he would. I was thrilled with the results. Alan is a hard worker who takes pride in his work and is one of the nicest people too!"

For over 30 Years Ortolani and Sons Painting Contractors have been providing exceptional painting and general contracting services to the greater Lowell area and Merrimack Valley. Our numerous years of experience, great attention to detail, friendly service, and all around dedication to our work and customers make us a great choice for anyone looking to have work done on their house, business, apartment, or condo.

"Chris and Bob (Ortolani and Sons) did a SUPERB job. My wife and I have been in our home for 40 years. We don't remember ever being more pleased with any work done by anyone for us over all this time. We not only got a great paint job, with lots of carpentry to put the house in condition to be painted (replacing bad siding, rotted and damaged trim, bad exterior door sill, etc) but we believe we received excellent value. Not only was their work excellent but the whole job process was smooth. Chris and Bob were consummate professionals, finding things that needed doing and doing them without prompting. We felt they went above and beyond. They probably feel they were "just doing what was required" which is one of the things that makes them special. My family was in the painting business. I know how hard my father and grandfather worked to achieve the high the standards they set for themselves and what they did to please their customers. I saw the same level of care, skill, and meticulous attention to detail in the work that Ortolani and Sons did. I can provide lots of examples. If anyone asks Ortolani and Sons for a reference, I will gladly provide it and share some of the specifics behind this rave review. I have already recommended them to friends in both MA and NH."

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. Clean your deck thoroughly with a power washer, lightly sand any rough spots, and use the same type of paint to guarantee proper adhesion and long-lasting performance.

Yes, applying a coat of primer before painting your deck is essential unless you're using a combined 2-in-1 formula. 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.
