"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 questions, answered by experts

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.

Select based on wood type, climate tolerance, and personal preference for color and finish, with choices like oil-based stains for longevity.

If your cedar fence is new, don’t delay. Unlike treated pine, you don’t need to wait months for the wood to dry out for it to accept stain. With cedar, the sooner, the better. Seal cedar within two weeks of installation to prevent the sun from fading its red color.

Limewash and whitewash are two techniques used to give brick a light, matte finish, but they differ in composition, application, and permanence. The best choice depends on your aesthetic goals and the specific surface.

Composition

  • Limewash: A natural and environmentally friendly option made from limestone, water, and sometimes pigments. It is breathable and soaks into porous surfaces like brick.

  • Whitewash: Traditionally made from lime, water, chalk, and binders, but a similar look can be achieved with watered-down white paint. It is paint-based and sits on top of the surface.

Appearance and Finish

  • Limewash: Provides a natural, textured appearance that allows the brick's character to show through. It offers a more traditional finish.

  • Whitewash: Creates a softer, more opaque finish, often used for a rustic or shabby-chic style.

Application and Permanence

  • Limewash: Is semi-permanent and can be removed, making it a good choice if you might want to change the look in the future. It requires more skill to apply and cannot be used on previously painted brick.

  • Whitewash: Is a more permanent solution. It is more forgiving to apply and can be used on painted brick. However, because it sits on the surface, it can trap moisture.

Ultimately, if you want a breathable, natural, and reversible finish for unpainted brick, limewash is a great option. If you need a more permanent, opaque coating that can be applied over painted surfaces, whitewash is the better choice. Whitewashing may also be more economical, costing approximately $1.40 to $4.20 per square foot.

Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years.
