Dustin's Painting and Staining LLC

Initially, when we met Dustin and I agreed to a reasonable price which sounded good. Dustin said he would spray our deck with semi transparent stain and then back brush it, so the finish would be smooth with no lines, and let the wood grain show through, which is what we wanted. That also sounded good. That didn’t happen, and was never communicated to us that it would not be stained that way, until after he’d stained it. He made excuses saying it would’ve looked like a solid stain if he’d sprayed it. It was a semi-transparent stain that is not a solid color, and would not have looked like a solid stain. This conversation took place only bc we made him come back and look at the deck and voiced our frustrations. The deck boards in between were not stained, there were obvious start and stop marks on boards and had areas where the stain was extremely heavy and dripped down to the outside boards. The stain was uneven throughout the deck and when discussed with Dustin his comment was “It doesn’t look that bad to me.” “That bad?” He also made excuses and kept telling me the stain was actually a paint product. I called the stain company and asked and was told it is a semi transparent oil based stain. It is not a paint product. This work was definitely not 5 star work and so much for a guaranteed job. I gave several stars only bc he did come back and attempted to fix some areas and kept apologizing. After restaining the steps to cover the dark spots, he commented that he figured it would look like a solid stain and was surprised when it didn’t. Obviously, he was not familiar with the product which completely hampered his ability to do the job correctly. You shouldn’t have to apologize if you do the job correctly the first time, and blaming the product doesn’t help fix the application issue.

BUYER BEWARE! We contacted Dustin and Jennifer to paint the siding of our house. He started on Tuesday, September 2nd 2025 and finished on Sunday, September 7th. Paid in full $5,400 and that is for siding, trim and 2 porches. Everything went smoothly, house was so beautiful. (See before and after picture). This is where our nightmare begins..... my husband went to install the porch lights by the garage and noticed that the siding was warping, this happened on Monday, September 15th, 2025. We called Jennifer around 5pm that night, she answered and said that she would let Dustin know and call us back. We waited patiently and gave him 2 whole days (Tuesday the 16th and Wednesday, the 17th). No call back from either one of them. My husband called around 9am, Thursday, September 18th, 2025. No answer, left a message. Sent email around 2pm on Thursday, September 18th, 2025. Tried a different route. Still no response. Sent message on Friday, September 19th, 2025 on Facebook messenger. Still no response. I tried all avenues before I did this post. I've attached pictures of the warping and also the paint can that Dustin purchaed saying NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE ON VINYL. We are out $5,400 and they are not very professional to ignore a customer like this.

Dustin did an excellent job on 14 deck poles he stained for us. He was here when he said he would be and finished when he said job would be done. We would not hesitate to use him again for any paint or stain job.

We are very happy with the deck staining Dustin completed for us. Communication about timing and price of the project was clear. The project was rain delayed, but still completed in a timely manner. Dustin works quickly, but not at the expense of quality. It was great working with Dustin! We will 100% contact him for future projects.

Dustin did a fantastic job for us. He started and finished when he said he would and was very reasonable. We will definitely use him again!

Dustin is an very experienced & capable professional. He gives prompt estimates & let's you know about additional expenses along the way so there are no surprises. He does "the details" & let's you know when he finds additional problems he discovers along the way. He brought my dry & cracked cedar sided home back to life! I highly recommend you give him a chance to bid your painting/staining jobs! He'll also leave you with product recommendations, from his years of experience, for keeping your house & deck in primo condition.

Dustin painted a barn, a shed and a fence for us. The price was reasonable, it was completed in a timely manner, and looks really good.

Dustin did a beautiful job staining my screened in porch, deck and stairs. I would highly recommend him.

We are very happy with the paint job on our house. We were given a very good price. He and his crew completed the job in a professional and timely manner. We would not hesitate to use them again.

Dustin did a great job of painting and staining my home and multiple decks. Finished ahead of schedule with great craftsmanship. Would highly recommend.
