"Victor was such a pleasure to work with for all of my home improvements. He was very professional and attentive to details. He made sure that I was happy with the work and helped me find the right solutions. He was able to prep and paint my 3 car garage floor with epxoy, he helped remove some cabinetry and paint several large wall spanning my kitchen/living room, did an abosolutely awesome job scraping down the sides of the house before painting it with some awesome colors, and finally helped me sand, replace parts of, and painted our deck out back. They really did a great job and I hihgly recommend them for anyone looking for a quality paint job. Thanks again for everything Victor and team!"

"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."

"I recently hired JRC ProPainting to paint the exterior of my home, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. Roberto and his team were professional, punctual, and highly skilled. They paid great attention to detail, ensuring that every corner and edge was perfectly painted. The quality of their work is outstanding. The paint job has completely transformed the look of my house, making it look fresh and vibrant. They used high-quality materials and took the time to properly prepare the surfaces, which really shows in the final result. Communication was excellent throughout the project. Roberto kept me informed of the progress and was always available to answer any questions I had. The team was respectful of my property and cleaned up thoroughly after the job was done. Overall, I highly recommend JRC ProPainting for any painting needs. Their professionalism, craftsmanship, and customer service as top notch. Great Work JRC!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must. 

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.

You can use latex or acrylic paint outdoors. Although acrylic paint tends to last longer outside, it also costs more, so if you’re painting the outside of your house, for instance, latex paint is often a go-to option. However, acrylic will be your best choice if you want to spend some extra money for added durability.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.

Whether to paint or stain a deck depends on your personal preference for appearance and budget. Stain provides a natural look with a range of undertones, is typically less expensive, and may only require one coat, but it does not last as long as paint. Paint offers a sleeker finish with a virtually unlimited color palette. Both options will protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear.
