"These pros did an excellent job of painting the full interior of my home. They removed wallpaper from bathroom walls, textured and painted. They made minor drywall repairs. They painted all interior walls, and the ceiling. They painted all trim and interior doors. I'm extremely pleased with the outcome, and would highly recommend Boris, Robert and Their team."

"Fantastic, Chris designed an extension to the bench seating to prevent the dog from being able to be seen or to look over the privacy fence. The design was fantastic and it looks good. It was made from pressure treated wood and in 6 months or so I will be having Js Home Improvement back to stain the extension and the deck so they match in color. I would hire Js for any project at my home."

"Briones is a great family-run business. They repainted the walls, ceilings, cabinets, and trim of our entire home. They also removed the popcorn ceilings for us. Pricing was fair, and they were quick and responsive; I got my quote on Saturday, they started work on Monday, and they were finished with the entire home by Monday the following week. Jose was helpful in offering color input and was patient with us when we needed more time to determine cabinet colors. He also repaired drywall in several places for us. The painters bagged up all the trash/debris from the project and cleaned up the house when they were done. The only thing they could have done to make the experience even better was haul the trash away for us! Overall, I’m extremely pleased with Briones Painting Services and would love to work with them again in the future. I will recommend them next time someone I know has a paint project."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.

There’s no single paint that’s the most waterproof. Instead, there are several types of waterproof and water-resistant paints that suit different purposes. Epoxy paint, for instance, is commonly used to provide a waterproof coating to floors and decks. Masonry paint is an excellent choice for exterior walls. Meanwhile, there are waterproof acrylic paints that can be used for interior and exterior walls. It’s more about choosing the best type for what you’re painting instead of the most waterproof paint overall.

It’s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that’s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat. 

It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the deck refinishing process. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.

You’ll need to restrain your deck when you notice fading, cracking, peeling, or mold and mildew over a moderate to large area, or when it’s become especially difficult to clean. As for how often to stain a deck, plan to do it every two to three years or whenever you start to notice extended damage.
