"My review of the work I have had done by Thomas Gianni & Sons Inc.. They really did a great job of working on my property. I call their office and asked to get some excavation of removing a couple of tree stumps in my yard and to put down approx. 20 yds. of gravel in an area near my shed. It was just about three or four days and they call me back to confirm to come out the next day, June 22. Their employee came by early in the morning and went over all the project. Figured out what equipment he needed and measured up for the materials and started the work about an hour later. He was very cautious and caring about minimal damaging to the yard. After removing the stumps he graded the surrounding area with the machine to the point where I only needed to rake it out to plant new grass. The gravel was put down flat and clean; not a mess. I would definitely hire 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."

"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."

Small projects paintings or stainings FAQs

It's best to stain your new fence after the wood has fully dried, which usually takes about six to eight weeks after installation. Waiting ensures the stain adheres properly, giving your fence lasting protection. Staining a fence usually takes three to five days. You'll start by cleaning the wood and letting it dry for at least 24 hours. After applying the stain, you'll need to wait 12 to 24 hours for each coat to dry.

Paint lasts longer than stain—about five to 10 years compared to stain's one to eight years. Painting requires more prep work and multiple coats, but offers a durable, long-lasting finish. Staining is less labor-intensive and allows the wood's natural beauty to show, but may need more frequent reapplication. Consider your maintenance preferences and desired look when choosing between the two.

Yes, you should stain both sides of your fence. Staining both sides provides complete protection from weather, moisture, and pests, extending your fence's lifespan and keeping it looking good. If your fence borders a neighbor’s property, communicate with them about splitting the cost of staining both sides of the fence or work out an agreement that satisfies both parties.
