"So-Cal Painting Done Right did a great job on refinishing and staining the exterior doors of my home. The estimate was accurate and Diego arrived on-time to complete the project. He was highly skilled and extremely knowledgeable about the entire project. He took the time to explain the whole project to me and made sure I was comfortable with the process before started. He was very skilled and experienced. The completed project exceeded my expectations. In the future I will definitely call So Cal Painting Done Right and request Diego- he’s definitely their super star."

"We contacted Robert Lopez to get a quote on painting the interior walls of the apartment in Tustin that my fiancee and I are moving into.  Robert was not only on time for our scheduled appointment, he was actually early which showed me that this contractor was very responsible in keeping his appointments.  Robert went through the whole process with us and helped us pick the colors that would best fit with the color of our carpeting (brownish orange - kind of tricky!) and would also fit within our own personal tastes.  After finalizing the details Robert was able to give us a quote on the spot which I appreciated.  I told him that we would discuss it that night and get back to him the following day with our decision.  We decided not to use Robert's services, but not because of anything Robert did.  In fact, we really liked our experience with him and are definitely going to use his services in the future.  Our decision was based upon our experiences with our property management company who have made the entire move in process for us such a nightmare, that we are without a doubt only staying in this property for a year to satisfy our lease and then find somewhere else that we want to stay for a longer period of time.  When we find that place, we will be calling Robert back!  But it didn't make sense to paint the walls of an apartment that we are already planning on moving out of, especially before we've even moved in."

"Not good. Was rushed. Did not provide samples. I had to go buy them myself. I asked for some time so we could decide on colors. The jod was rushed and do not feel that the job was done right. Long story short I have had to fix the things they Broke or did not complete. What was promised was not done. If you hire them. Make sure you get it in writing. The crew was nice. Better if you speak Spanish. But they were a good crew. I am sorry I could not leave a better review. But with all the clean up. And getting all the paint off my wall ways. I should have got more quotes. Than had to make the check out to different people. Just a little shady to me."

"Home2Renovate painted the entire exterior of the house including the stucco and trim. They did an excellent job in prepping the house for the actual painting and they completed the house in a timely manner (5 and 1/2 days straight through). They were professional and took great pride in their work. They kept me informed throughout the process. They also installed rain gutters which complemented the paint scheme of the house. I would highly recommend them for home repair and painting projects."

Deck Staining 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.

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.

Staining a deck is typically less expensive upfront than painting. The cost to stain a deck professionally averages around $850, with most homeowners paying between $550 and $1,250, depending on the deck's size. A DIY staining project can cost less than $100. The cost to paint a deck ranges from $500 to $2,000. While the initial cost of staining is lower, it's important to consider long-term expenses. Paint can last up to 10 years, whereas stain needs to be reapplied every few years, which could lead to higher costs over time.

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.
