Has anyone used Spray-Net?
I am looking to do some brick staining, garage door painting, and window painting to facelift the exterior of my house.
I came across Spray-Net and it seems like it might be a viable option for a reasonable price.
Has anyone used their services, and if you could share your experience with them, it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Lol I was just looking into staining bricks today. Found a place called permatint in Concord. I sent an email to them, waiting to hear back. They sell all colours of stains from what I saw...

I'd like to know too.
Thinking of staining my brick in the future and it seems like spray-net has interesting stains/tech that would protect the brick.

I’m surprised no one has used their product or services.
I gave them a call and got some info from the sales rep. There is a 15 year warranty and they can do a virtual consult with pictures. I did inquire about general prices which seemed reasonable and they said they can get the job done in one day

The local franchise has good reviews and quite a few neighbours have done it and the results are very good.
We just signed to have our brick stained and siding painted. Original owners built in 1989 so the brick is pinkish (yeech) and the alumnium siding is white, we're going with a very dark grey (their own Midnight Surf) for the brick and lighter grey (Behr Anonymous) for the siding. $7k for the whole house (I know some only paint the front, but our siding is in excellent condition and we're doing a lot of exterior landscaping/pool so wanted to refresh the entire house at the same time).

That’s not bad at all, 7k for the entire house.
When are you going to be having it done?

Right now we're scheduled for July - they're booking fast and furious apparently, like anything else to do with home improvement. We signed last week.

how long ago did your neighbours use them? I'm just worried the longevity of the brick staining and paint.
How did the signing/deposit work?

Just about all of them during the past few years. It started with a couple and now it seems to be picking up steam around the neighbourhood, given a lot of us have dated colour schemes. So far so good, but of course there are none that have been around for over a decade, given the business itself is relatively new (I think they first started in 2010, and franchising in 2013?)
The rep came to the house, we discussed what we wanted done, he took measurements all around, explained the process and how it works (they come to pressure wash the surfaces before the actual painting, for example); then got a quote. When we agreed we signed and put down the deposit which is 20%.
Given it's a franchise I think it's important to look at the local reviews and houses to make sure it's a good one.

Thats good to know. Thanks for all your help.
Even tho your neighbours haven't had it for over a decade, its still reassuring that still looks good after a few years at least.

We had estimate done 2 yrs ago for our vinyl siding with surface of around 2500 ft. Front of house is finished in grey shale stone type and not touching it. We thought it was a bit expensive and had estimate to replace vinyl and is about half price when you factor primer and painting 16 shutters.
We are trying to see if they could do it this year if price did not change much. In August 2018, they were already booking for May 2019.

It looks like Spray-Net literally sprays everything, so the colour is constant, including motor.
Does anyone have experience with companies that stain bricks individually?

Where are you located and have you heard anything since? It's hard to know what is real anymore when companies advertise online. Do you feel up to naming names and which Franchise you went with? My wife and I are now retired and want to freshen the place up a bit and can't risk losing our savings if we are going to get cheated.
Thanks
