"I was very impressed with the service I recieved. The painters thoroughly preped the surfaces and match the existing color with high quality paint that will last years. There were no drips or overspray and cleaned up everything when they completed the job. I highly recommend this company."

"I can’t say enough good things about the job he did painting our house. From the very beginning, he was kind, professional, and easy to work with. He took his time to make sure everything was done right, and our house looks beautiful! He treated our home with respect, kept the work area clean, and always communicated with us throughout the project, which we really appreciated. It’s clear that he takes tremendous pride in his work, and we’re so grateful we found him. I would gladly recommend him to family and friends, and I won’t hesitate to hire him again for future projects."

I enjoy painting! I look at each project and think if this was my home how would I like it to look. I have been painting for many years. I only accept payment when the job is done and the home owner is happy. I am a middle school teacher and do painting work when not teaching. I am a Christian and do my best to reflect that in my work.

"From the first phone call to the office to get an estimate, to when the estimator came out to bid the job, to when the Forman came out to confirm the work that needed to be done, to the first day the crew showed up to start the job the process was professional and smooth. I would not only recommend Foothill Painting, I would use them again! I was very happy with the attention to detail and the good job Foothill Painting did. The preparation, patching and paint job was done well and the stucco repair matched the existing stucco real well. The Forman took his time to help us and make sure we choose the right colors for the house. It is apparent these guys take pride in their job! (rare these days) As with any large job there will be things you notice a week or two later that need to be touched up. All it took was a phone call to the office and one of the original crew members came out to take care of every request. Not only was everything done to my expectations, it was done with a smile and great attitude! Foothill Painting-Highly Recommended!!!"

"We had our kitchen and 2 bathrooms remodeled. We also had new plumbing and electrical installed. This left of with some walls that were fresh drywall, other walls that were the original plaster, and then lots patched spots to match the original plaster. Needless to say, we had a lot of different finishes and textures going on - and painting was not a job we could tackle on our own. After getting several quotes, we went with Sanchez Painting and I'm so glad we did. Our place looks great. We had pretty much chosen our colors already, but Jay (our main contact) was helpful in explaining why our choices would work. For some reason I was more nervous about picking the paint, something changeable, than I was picking countertops and tile, something much more permanent. His guys arrived on time, worked all day, and got the job done early. Our house was built in 1952, so we have some odd built-ins (like a linen cabinet and hutch in the dining area...even little toilet brush closets in the bathrooms), and Jay was able to make them all look beautiful! There was a small hiccup doing the final walk-through, but once that was done, his crew came back and did a few small touch-ups, including some paint damage done by our contractors. Jay was pleasant to deal with and cared about making sure that we were satisfied. They will definitely be our first call when we need future painting done."

"Craig and his team did a fantastic job in painting the interior of our home. I was impressed by the quality of the work and by the specific quality control Craig exhibited in his communications to his men. The team worked hard, did not dally at all, and had fun which is a testament to their working relationship with Craig. I would definitely hire C & D Painting again for my next Painting project!"

"I have nothing but rave reviews for Ivan and his crew. Needed work done fast due to escrow timeframes…he was available to come out the next day and fully perform. I had gotten a couple other bids from other painters that said it would be a 3 day gig and couldn’t come out for weeks…they got it done beautifully in 1 day and came out on such short notice. These guys are true professionals and I will be using them again!!"

"Brian and his crew were exceptional professional and certainly knew what they were doing. The entire job was done in one day, as requested. I was actually able to go and pick the exact slabs to be used. Was extremely reasonably priced compared to other quotes for over 63 sq. feet which included thing like backsplashes and windows sills. Excellent workmanship and delightful to work with."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Beyond liquid rubber, homeowners can use sealants, stains, membranes, or tapes as waterproofing options. Oil-based or water-based sealants soak into the wood, creating a moisture-resistant barrier. Waterproofing stains—available in transparent, semi-transparent, and solid colors—add both protection and style to your deck. For heavy-duty waterproofing, deck membranes and waterproof tapes can be applied under the deck boards to direct water away from the structure below. Whatever method you choose, clean and prep the deck first to ensure the best, longest-lasting results.

You’ll need to wait until the surface is completely dry, which can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours under optimal conditions. The waiting period depends on several factors, including the type of siding and the weather conditions. Trying to paint before the surface is completely dry can trap moisture under the paint, leading to bubbling, blistering, and mold growth.

The staining or painting process involves cleaning the deck, sanding surfaces, applying a primer (if needed), and carefully applying stain or paint for an even, lasting finish.

You don’t necessarily have to remove all the old paint before repainting your deck, but it’s best to remove as much as possible to ensure a smooth and long-lasting finish. Prioritize scraping off loose, peeling, or flaking paint, and sand down rough areas to create a smooth surface for the new paint to bond with.

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.
