Dan Peck’s Painting Solutions enhances your outdoor living and enjoying a freshly painted home as a beautiful backdrop
By Mary Malik
With Northeast Ohio’s long, gray winters and relatively brief summers, we all want to escape the indoors as soon as possible and enjoy outdoor living in our own backyards. But that can be hard to do when we’re distracted by a home exterior that is dirty, faded or features peeling paint.
That’s why now is the time to schedule your painting or staining project with Painting Solutions.
“When the weather warms up and the sun comes out, our team is also excited to get outside,” says owner Dan Peck, whose company has been serving Northeast Ohio homeowners since 1997. “Spring is here, so we can finally get back to doing exterior painting, deck maintenance and staining.”
Whatever the siding of your home, Painting Solutions can update the look with a fresh paint job—including an exciting new color—or bring your cedar siding back to life with a cleaning and staining.
“Every house is different, so our process is different in order to get you the best results,” Dan says. “Different surfaces have their own way of aging. Wood flakes, peels and fades, and aluminum and vinyl siding fade and get dirty. This detracts from the beauty of your home and, if not addressed, can lead to a much larger investment down the road.”
Dan’s right. Why spend tens of thousands for new siding when a proper paint or stain job will transform your home for a fraction of the price?
Cedar Siding and Decks
Dan recommends decks and cedar siding be professionally cleaned and stained every couple of years or so, depending on your home’s environment. Lots of direct sunlight causes fading while heavy tree coverage and shrubbery can produce mold and mildew buildup. And if your deck needs attention, it’s best to get on the list now before you break out the outdoor furniture.
“Decks probably take the most abuse of any area of the home, inside or out,” Dan says. “Between the weather, foot traffic, pets, furniture and grills, our decks take a beating. Every couple of years they need a thorough power wash and staining.”
Painting Solutions first uses professional power washers to clean the deck before stain is applied.
“The deck needs to be as clean as possible and free of dirt and mold before it can truly grab the stain,” Dan says. “If you periodically remove any leaves and hose the dirt off your deck, not only will the stain last longer, but you’ll also significantly extend the life of the deck itself. Your deck is a functional outdoor space and an extension of your living space, so it deserves to be well cared for.”
Care and Respect
Whether inside or out, Painting Solutions experienced crews insist on treating your home and property with respect. “We do all the heavy lifting, carefully moving your furniture and protecting your floors and belongings with drop cloths,” Dan says. “And outside we’re careful to protect your concrete surfaces and landscaping. We treat our clients’ homes the way we’d treat our own homes.”
The company uses top-quality paints and stains—along with the best equipment to apply them. “We believe in our work, and back it up with a 100% satisfaction guarantee,” Dan insists. “That’s unmatched in our industry.”
