"House Painting Inc painted our 2-story house in 8 days. They did a flawless job, great workmanship, always on time. Half the time was spent on patching, sending, prepping, power washing, vine removal which no prior company has done to this extent and this well over the last 15 years. The difference matters. Previously we have had an invasion of an army of half-trained folks completing the job in 5 days, sometimes covering entire vines on the side of the house with paint without removing them. The extra $s definitely were worth it and a fair price. Great job! Once we get ready to paint the inside we'll be calling them again."

"I moved into a new house and needed two rooms painted before my furniture arrived. Jose was my third painter, after the previous two were no show. He came on time for the estimate, pointed out the over painting on some of the frames and asked if I wanted that corrected. He showed up on time to complete the job and did an amazing job. It was perfect and his clean up was great. I highly recommend Jose."

"My entire experience with John and Casey from Certa Pro painters was top-notch. John demonstrated professionalism, accuracy, and good old customer service. Throughout the entire job, from the initial estimate to working with my budget constrictions he does all he can to make the experience exceptional. Casey was my job foreman and rescued a fireplace that was held together with bubblegum a masking tape. He also covered numerous water stains perfectly and brought a bay window back to life. My new home is now absolutely beautiful inside. If you had seen my home before CertaPro painters had taken such good care of it you would certainly be as happy as I am with their work. I have already had two neighbors who knew what bad shape the inside of my home was in, love the paint job and ask me who painted the inside of my home."
Staining or painting kitchen cabinets can give your kitchen a brand new look without the cost of replacing the cabinets.
Stripes are popular and can be done in many different colors. Pink is just the right color for this little girl's nursery.
Painting the risers, banisters, and handrails on a stairway cn really make the difference in something that is often overlooked.
This modern home looks spectacular with the grey base color and stark white, contrasting the blue tinted windows.
This newer home makes great use of a popular earth tone color scheme, allowing the architectural features to stand on their own.

"They did an excellent job of painting the interior of the house, including covering the old and new patched areas with texture, creating a beautiful interior walls. They also painted the decking of the balconies and the railing. The interior looks like a new home. They did a great job and I would use them again and recommend them to anyone."

"Christian and his crew of 6 painted my 3800 square foot home in 2 days. Additionally, they accommodated my request to add an additive to the paint for insulation. They were professional and neat. They went beyond the agreement and painted other out buildings. The crew had a good attitude and worked well together."

Customers say: Quality work

"John Holden and his son completed a large home painting project for us that including the home dwelling, extensive wood deck work, and other misc repairs for the painting job for us and we were very happy with the outcome. There were heavy downpours of rain in CA in early 2023 for almost 6 months! That caused some paint not to dry as expected, among other things. Although Their painting job held up really well! Anyway, their painting crew came back numerous times to fix any paint issues we raised, which happens on all jobs, naturally. Thatâ s hard to do for a painting crew and drives down profit for a company when they return to the job site. Regardless, their leadership and crew happily accommodated our requests and were focused on making sure we were satisfied. John Holden Inc was also very cost effective. I was amazed at the price they quoted and they stood by that price at the end of the job! Very fair. Their team also repaired a wrought iron gate, replaced exterior filter covers, and worked with us on the final paint selection. I couldnâ t recommend them more highly."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint. 

While the answer varies based on weather, 10 a.m. is a good time to start painting. The dew will have dried, meaning there’s no moisture on the house, and the temperature will likely be moderate and the sunlight less direct. Starting mid-morning should also give you enough daylight and pleasant weather to work on the job for several hours.

It is not always necessary to remove old stain before restaining a deck. If the previous stain is in good condition and is compatible with the new stain, you may be able to apply a new coat after thorough cleaning. However, if the old stain is in bad condition, flaking, or peeling, it is best to remove it completely to ensure an even surface and proper adhesion for the new coat. Staining over a damaged layer can lead to an uneven finish and poor penetration. For best results, test a small area first and consult the stain manufacturer's guidelines.

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

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.
