"Jeremy has done multiple jobs for me both at my home and at my office. He has been my painter for over 10 years. He has painted both interior and exterior. He has painted cabinets three times for me. He has stained and finished my front door at my home. I would definitely recommend Jeremy for any project you might have."

"I want everyone to know that Whitestone Painters stand out for their customer satisfaction policy. We first had our interior painting done in Nov 2015 and I noticed that there was a problem with the paint, so I called and Ernie came right out. He agreed there was indeed a problem and said no problem, they would come back and repaint the rooms at my convenience, which they did this week. I never had a complaint with their quality of work, because they did an amazing job. It ended up that the paint was not washable as requested. They truly do stand by their customer satisfaction 100% and I will use them again the next time I need a job done. The painters were polite and treated my home as if it was theirs which really impressed me. I highly recommend Whitestone & you will not be disappointed !!"

"Not a whole lot of communication with the employees/boss. One guy showed up and worked alone ALL day the first day. I remembered I had something important to do the next morning and told the employee I was not going to be home. He did not communicate this to the owner and they showed up while I was out of town. They came back the following day and this time it was a team of 2. They worked through about 11 am and said it had to dry they would return between 2-4 that afternoon. They were a no call, no show. I tried calling the owner 2-3 times. My husband called me to pick him up and I couldn't because I was waiting for painters. Finally connected with owner late afternoon. They showed up the next morning and went in to paint and told me they had told the owner they weren't going to make it back the day before and asked said owner to call me (he didn't). I went in to show them some running areas from the day before and they had painted RIGHT OVER the runs. When I pointed it out they got sand paper and sanded over the wet paint they had just applied. I did a final walk through and it looked great when they were finished but when I went to put my blinds back up I found an area at the window where they had handed tools etc out the window and actually dinged and pulled up a small area of the paint. It ended up looking alright but it took 3 days to paint 1 small bedroom."

"Jesus painted my fireplace and it turned out beautiful. He was quick, clean and charged much less that I thought I would have to pay for this job. I'm going to have him come back and repaint my steel front door next month."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, you must thoroughly clean your deck before staining. If you don't, dirt, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped between the wood and the new stain. This not only looks unsightly but also prevents the stain from penetrating the wood properly, reducing its ability to protect the deck from weather and UV rays. As a result, the stain won't last as long or look as good. Any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning for the wood to dry completely before applying stain.

Exterior paints contain more volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, making them dangerous when used indoors. Without the free ventilation of the great outdoors, it can take longer for the fumes to dissipate than interior paint. While you may notice the smell lessening more quickly, you should be wary of paint fumes inside for 48 to 72 hours after it dries.

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. 

If you don’t treat a cedar fence, it will turn from reddish brown to gray over time. You can keep the cedar from graying and retain its attractive, deep red color by sealing your cedar fence with a stain that keeps the wood’s oils in and serves as a barrier against the sun’s UV rays.

It is not always necessary to remove old stain before restaining a deck. If the previous stain is in good condition and is compatible with the new stain, you may be able to apply a new coat after thorough cleaning. However, if the old stain is in bad condition, flaking, or peeling, it is best to remove it completely to ensure an even surface and proper adhesion for the new coat. Staining over a damaged layer can lead to an uneven finish and poor penetration. For best results, test a small area first and consult the stain manufacturer's guidelines.
