"Junior and his guys exceeded our expectations!  My husband and I could not be happier with their painting job of our bedroom.  We put off painting the bedroom because we thought that the price would be outrageous - it's a very large room with super high ceilings.  But we decided to shop around.  We had more than five painters come by to give us quotes.  When Junior showed up, we could tell that he was a pro but also easy going - how someone is when they are confident about their work.  We decided to go with him.  He confirmed the start date days in advance and showed up when he promised.  The work took exactly as long as he said it would.  It's not an easy room - height of ceilings, tons of white beams.  Not a speck of slate blue paint where it should not be and the room is as clean now as it was when they arrived.  They prepped the walls beautifully.  The painting around the white beams, ceiling and baseboards is perfect.  Did I say that we're super happy!  Thank you Junior and your team for being very reasonably priced, proficient, neat, courteous, and respectful.  I highly recommend All Painting Decoration Corp!  "

"Palette Pro did work for me on two separate occasions. The first time was to prepare a new apartment prior to my moving in. The work involved painting, floor re-finishing, and some carpentry. All work was performed to a very high standard. The crew was meticulous, and followed the work plan perfectly. Willian, the supervisor, kept me informed on progress over the course of several weeks. On the second occasion, I used Palette Pro to re-paint a bedroom following a serious leak in my apartment. Again, the work was done perfectly. They were very accommodating to my schedule. Before Palette Pro, I had never experienced contractors whom I could trust to work to such a high standard. I highly recommend them!"

"I do not recommend this contractor. I recently bought a house in Ridgefield ct, so I hired this company to paint several rooms in the house. And because I didn't move yet, so they work unsupervised. They didn't know I had surveillance cameras all over. So I noticed this: THE BAD I capture unprofessional behavior. first, the painters went to rooms they were not supposed to enter, then they use my ladder without my authorization, and lastly, one of them smoked in my balcony. (when I confront the contractor, he said that if they smoke outside is not a problem....fire hello!! I was about to terminate the contract, but they were close to finishing the job) Most of it was of good quality regarding the painting, but they did not deliver the same quality in one room (my kid's room). I was even able to see the prior paint color. When I show this to the manager in the final walk, he said they already used three layers of paint, and to get it right, and it will cost me extra. I don't care how many layers they use; what I need is a good job! THE GOOD they booked me fast, and the price was reasonable. So, in conclusion, If you are not going to be in the property when working, be vigilant. And also, be prepared to pay more if you want a great job. I am definitely not hiring them again."

In 1995, MDF Painting started to paint homes in the neighborhoods of New Haven County. Since that time, MDF has grown into a national "leader in the residential painting industry." Today, we proudly provide painting, pressure washing, deck refinishing, carpentry and interior design services to residents throughout Connecticut. MDF is a business founded on the basic principles of honesty, integrity, and excellence in customer service. Thank you for taking the time to explore our website and find out more about the service and value we provide.

"Our experience with MDF Painting has been a nightmare. They promised a start date in a voice mail (which we still have) and were approx. 3 weeks late starting. We were told that if they could have access to the house 24/7 (it is vacant, so yes they could), they could “bang this job out in no time”. Our contact at the office was nearly impossible to get in touch with and constantly unresponsive to phone calls and emails. We contracted (and paid) to have popcorn ceiling in three rooms removed and reapplied. At the owner’s recommendation, he suggested “blending” the popcorn which we agreed to. Now the popcorn ceiling is literally falling into the floor in one room. As we live out of state, we asked the owner if he would come by on a Saturday when we are there to look at their shoddy work, but apparently, he doesn’t do weekends, only normal business days/hours. They insisted it was the same price to “blend” popcorn instead of all the labor/materials to remove and reapply which we find hard to believe. They finally agreed to give us a credit. We requested just the ceiling be painted white in one bathroom. They instead repainted the entire room (3 colors) which we had to pay to match the paint. In one bedroom, they painted the entire room as requested, but neglected to paint the sliding closet doors which really stand out now next to the newly painted walls. They started priming the walls in another room that wasn’t even contracted to be painted. They painted the attic access door shut, so when the stairs were pulled down, the paint came off around the edges. The utility door was also painted shut which took forever to pry open. They discarded the metal handle, so now it won’t stay shut. We specifically asked that they not clean their brushes in our house (we have a well), but they ignored that request and washed them in our kitchen sink which has metal scratches around the ceramic edge. We had to hire someone to come in and clean up after them not once, but twice. In the dining room, which was not part of the job, we had open boxes packed with all of our wall hangings which are now covered in dust from the sanding. Still finding splattered paint throughout the house. We go to the house on weekends to pack more items and arrived one morning to find the front door wide open. They helped themselves to ALL of the beverages we had left in our refrigerator. Obviously, there is very little, if any, communication between the office and the team. Very little respect for customers or their property. Please don’t get sucked in by the nearly 40 pages of testimonials and the salesman’s glorified pitch, which is what happened to us."

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.
