"David and his team at J&D Painting were fantastic. I recently hired them to paint a couple of interior rooms and the exterior of my home in San Jose. Their work was detailed and immaculate. David and his team were very communicative and helpful with any questions I had. They were extremely efficient, respectful, tidy and thorough. Above and beyond in their attention to detail. An absolute pleasure to work with . I highly recommend J&D Painting ."

"We requested an estimate to paint the exterior of our house and stain our deck. Our split level house was very challenging with wood and composite siding, four dormers, and three chimneys. Our roof was ceramic tile and quite pitched. After three different estimates, we chose Wise Painting who completed the job to our complete satisfaction. Henruy oversaw his paint crew to make sure the job was done without any problems and often joined in doing the work . We highly recommend their quality work."

Painting questions, answered by experts

The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage. 

Pricing depends on prep work, paint/stain choice, area size, scaffolding needs, and detailed trim inclusions like precision-balanced windowsills.

Typically, a fence requires one to two coats of stain. The exact number can vary depending on the porosity of the wood. For specific guidance, it's best to check the manufacturer's instructions. After applying the first coat and letting it dry completely, you can assess the finish. If it appears patchy, uneven, or you want a more saturated color, a second coat is recommended. An extra coat can also help cover lap marks.

Oxygen bleach uses hydrogen peroxide as a base and won’t harm wood when using it as a cleaner. On the other hand, chlorine bleach breaks down wood at the cellular level and causes irreversible harm. Although you may not see immediate damage to wood after exposing it to chlorine bleach, its strength and integrity are now compromised.

Choose based on climate, finish preference (glossy, matte), and durability. Tailored coatings also provide longevity.
