"Very easy to work with. I'd used them before but this time I got estimates from other contractors and was amazed how much more reasonable Cal Preserving was. The difference may be that the others pointed to additional steps that could be taken. Did Cal Preserving "miss" these things or recognize they weren't necessary--I'm inclined to believe the latter."

"Revival Painting work was absolutely perfect. Jonathan, the owner, was more than reasonable with the cost of my project. He showed up on time, when he said he would. He got the job started and was on the job to the finish. He helped me pick out the right stain for my deck as I was having a problem picking one and was so on target with the color. In finishing up, Jonathan, and his worker, did a walk through of the deck to make sure it was complete, did touch ups that were needed and completed the project on time. My deck looks wonderful! I'd hire him again in a heartbeat! Thank you Jonathan and Revival Painting! Quality work. Value extraordinaire!"

Customers say: Quick response

"We have a single story home in Rio Del Mar, built partially on stilts with some very difficult areas to access. Gregory came over and gave us a bid and we were very impressed with his knowledge of the problems that we could have and the areas that needed some maintenance first. He had his handyman come initially and fix some deck and gate problems. Then started the power washing, sanding and all of the pre-work. He and his workers were extremely diligent and some of the hardest workers that I have ever experienced. Gregory kept us informed the entire time about the progress and the timing of when they would be here. He scheduled the scaffolding to be brought in and the porta-potty for his painters. They were so detail oriented and when the finished product was completed it looked great. We've had other homes painted before, but never with such thorough work and attention. I would highly recommend Gregory and his crew for any painting job that you may have. They're the best."

"Great! Darwin and his crew painted almost the whole interior of our house and stained the floors we had sanded, to get it ready for sale. It was done quickly and well. No missed spots, drips, etc. They cleaned up too and covered or masked areas not to be painted. Our schedule changed a lot and they were flexible, holding off when we needed them to, for other contractors to work, but when called in again came right away and did their work. Darwin kept in touch daily and often texted me photos so I could see the progress, Our buyers wanted input on the color and gloss of the floor stain and he worked with them to get it the way they wanted but stay in our budget . Afterward he came back and did some minor fixes the other contractor never got to and hauled away way the trash the other contractor left behind. We were up against closing date and I really appreciated his attitude. He told me he would do whatever needed to help us get the house ready for the buyers. Great communication, professional work and super helpful! I would definitely hire him again."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Liquid rubber is great for waterproofing, but it can damage your deck if it’s not applied correctly. First, it can trap moisture in the wood if the deck isn’t completely dry before application.  Second, applying it too thickly can create a heavy, rubbery surface layer that peels and cracks under fluctuating temperatures. For the best results, ensure the wood is completely dry before application, and apply the liquid rubber in thin, even coats. A quick inspection every now and then will help you catch any issues early, keeping your deck protected and looking its best.

It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the deck refinishing process. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.

If you have a smooth, already bonded concrete surface, painting a concrete pool deck can be a great way to brighten up the area and add longevity. If the surface has another covering or a different type of paint has been used previously, you won’t be able to paint it without removing the existing coating. Wooden decks benefit from painting as it helps to keep them watertight. Quality pool deck paints also help make the surface less slippery and less likely to gather mold and mildew or prematurely crack.

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.

It’s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that’s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat.
