"This is the 2nd time I've hired Hernandez Painting. John's crew painted my interior a year ago (summer 2024). They did a fantastic job. This year we decided to have the exterior painted, and we didn't hesitate to hire them again. Going back a year when we received a quote for the interior (last year summer 2024), we also asked for a quote for the exterior. We couldn't afford to do both, so we decided to have the interior painted first. This year we called John for an updated quote for the exterior, but he honored his first quote (from a full year prior). John's team just finished painting our exterior and once again they did a fantastic job. I thoroughly enjoyed working with John's team of friendly professionals. I really can't recommend them enough. I'd like to give them a 6th star if I could."

"Jeremy McMahon is the consummate professional and his work is an exquisite representation of the personal touch. He takes pride in all that he does, and then goes the extra mile for customer satisfaction. We know this to be true. When we hired Jeremy, he came to our home and treated us with kindness and consideration. He is personable and honest. The estimate he provided for complete kitchen cabinet resurfacing was very reasonable. He made certain to let us take a full day, after completion of the project, to look over everything carefully. When we found that some of the doors of our 30-year-old cabinets needed an extra coat of paint, Jeremy was quick to comply and let us now customer satisfaction was of primary importance. Jeremy McMahon is a trustworthy, honest, and dedicated person--and his quality of work is an extension of his wonderful character. He made 30-year-old veneer look magical! Thank you Jeremy for your patience and consideration. We think the cabinets look fantastic. We would hire Jeremy for additional work around our home."

"I learned of Valley Custom Painters through Angi. My need to paint the exterior trim and patio was competitively bid with Valley Custom Painters being the low bid. Where Ernie arrived at my home to bid the project, I need at that time it was his firm I wanted to perform the work. He was straight forward and came across as a self sufficient contractor and convinced me he could do the work as outlined. They performed the painting in a timely manner, attention to detail, self sufficient, professional and produced a quality product. I was in the construction industry for forty years so when I rated a company AAAAA, I know what I am doing. In addition, many of our friends are most complementary of the quality of their paint job. In the future when I have painting needs, I will not be bidding the work, but calling Valley Custom Painters."

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

Rags used with oil-based stains are highly flammable and can spontaneously combust in the right conditions. To reduce the fire risk, throw them in a metal container after use and add rocks on top to secure them. Add an inch of water and seal the container. Take the rags in the container to a hazardous waste factory as soon as possible.

The longevity of paint on wood depends on factors like the quality of the paint, surface preparation, exposure to elements, and maintenance. Exterior paint on wood surfaces can last 5 to 15 years or more with proper care and maintenance. Interior paint tends to have a longer life span, often 10 years or more. Regular cleaning, touch-ups, and addressing any issues like peeling or cracking can extend the life of the paint. 

You can paint an old wooden fence, but make sure first to do a deep clean (ideally with a pressure washer) and inspect the fence for any existing damage. Painting over dirt and debris will cause your paint to peel. Once you’ve cleaned and repaired any minor issues, use a primer and high-quality satin paint.

A dry lawn is easier to edge than a wet one. When your ground is wet, your blades will likely clump together, making a seemingly even cut while wet, but an uneven disaster when dried. Also, a wet lawn can impact your blade's performance and cause mud to kick up, resulting in a messy finish.

If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.
