"Ivan and his team were very professional and courteous. We had some trouble with the color for exterior trim and Ivan came over with swatches and helped us make a decision on a beautiful color. We are very satisfied with finishing of the house. Would highly recommend Generation painting to everyone I know. Thank you Ivan ."

"These guys were great! We moved into a house and needed help understanding why our landscaping quickly started dying. Landscaping Bay Area carefully diagnosed and quickly fixed the issues, thoughtfully taught us about our system, and added lines to automate our yard care. Would absolutely recommend and use them again!"

"Well, Omar- Owner/Operator of Indigo Paintings has done it again. Last year, they painted the exterior of the home and this time the work was done on the interior of the home. Omar is very hard-working, his prices are reasonable, and he always completes the job ahead of schedule, provided all goes well. This time Omar had the assistance of a very hard-working young man, named Antonio. Antonio was always on time, and pleasant. He often assisted my sister and me when we needed help. So, don’t be fooled by the name Indigo Painting, as the business does much more than paint. My sister and I just can’t say enough about this dynamic dual. Omar and Antonio replaced the flooring in the lower portion of the home and refurbished and refinished several wooden floors in the upper portion of the home. They also replaced several light fixtures and they painted several rooms in the home. Omar and Antonio, my sister, and I can’t thank you both enough for such an Excellent Job! Beverly Johnson"

"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."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Here's the deal with leaving used rags covered in oil-based stain lying around in a pile: Depending on the conditions, these rags can take just an hour or up to a few days to combust. The source of ignition is caused by trapped heat that can be compounded if the rags are near a heat source.

Yes, it is important to wash your deck before painting to ensure the paint applies well and adheres properly. While you don't have to use a pressure washer, it is one of the most efficient cleaning methods. Pressure washing can quickly remove dirt, wood fibers, and flaked paint, getting deeper into the wood than manual scrubbing. You can also clean the deck with a stiff broom and a cleaning solution. Regardless of the method, a clean surface is essential for good paint adhesion. Make sure the deck is completely dry before applying any paint.

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

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.

The plastic in composite decking boards protects them enough that you do not need to paint them to prevent warping. In fact, painting composite decking voids the warranty of some manufacturers. Painting can also increase maintenance on the deck, as you must paint regularly to keep it looking its best.
