"Patrick was very patient and provided quick responses to ALL my questions. I had many since this was the first time for us to paint/stain the exterior of our house. He provided great suggestions for paint/stain color and explained the process /steps that would be taken to complete the project. Because the exterior of my house is wood shingles, it was a more complicated process to pressure wash and treat the wood before staining and painting. Patrick's team was very professional, courteous and did outstanding work. They completed the work in the estimated time and cleaned up very well when they were finished. I would definitely hire them again."

"Jeff and his crew were professional, prompt, did an excellent job of prepping our deck that was in bad shape, and painting the deck, posts and railings and making it look beautiful again. They cleaned everything up and helped put things back together again for us. We highly recommend Jeff and his very nice and efficient crew."

"Bayardo and his team were fantastic! They were on time every day, cleaned up after themselves, and did a wonderful job repairing dry rot and painting. Bayardo is so thorough with his inspections and work. They do a job the right way."
Before pictures
(Before Pic)Home was pressure washed with a 3000 psi machine to remove as much dirt and grime from the exterior house wall surfaces before painting. We sanded all the bad areas and spot primed them before painting. Used caulking to seal any open grooves and open wood joints as needed.
(Before l) This photo shows the condition of the cabinet before it was refinished. You can see the stain is faded and clear coat is chipping away from water damage and moisture in the air.
Exterior Repaint
Prepped the door for painting. Sanded it then primed it. Removed the door handle and carefully covered the hinges before spray painting the door.

"Junior and his team did a wonderful job painting the exterior of my San Francisco home. When I set up the appointment to look at my home, Junior, who is the owner of Mendez Professional Painting, came out and he couldn't be more friendly and professional. His prices are competitive and he has such an easy going personality. He was an absolute pleasure to work with. He answered all my questions and let me know what steps were involved in the entire process. His crew is very professional, prompt, and they did a great job in cleaning up every day. When the job was completed, he made sure I was totally satisfied with the work. I would highly recommend him and his team to anyone if they have any painting needs. I told him if I have other projects such as interior painting, he would be the first person I call. I'm glad that I now have a person I can turn to if I have any other painting projects. These guys are great!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Waterproof paint creates a barrier to hold back moisture, but it doesn’t eliminate the source of the water. If you hire a basement waterproofing contractor, many will tell you that waterproof paint is only a temporary solution. On average, you can expect it to last from six months to two years in a wet basement before deteriorating.

Whether to paint or stain a deck depends on your personal preference for appearance and budget. Stain provides a natural look with a range of undertones, is typically less expensive, and may only require one coat, but it does not last as long as paint. Paint offers a sleeker finish with a virtually unlimited color palette. Both options will protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear.

If you have wood decking, there are several common deck problems that you might encounter. For example, your natural wood boards may fade over time due to things like sunlight, weather, and debris. On top of that, some types of wood decking can rot, grow mold, and attract destructive pests—including termites, carpenter ants, and woodpeckers.

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

There’s no single paint that’s the most waterproof. Instead, there are several types of waterproof and water-resistant paints that suit different purposes. Epoxy paint, for instance, is commonly used to provide a waterproof coating to floors and decks. Masonry paint is an excellent choice for exterior walls. Meanwhile, there are waterproof acrylic paints that can be used for interior and exterior walls. It’s more about choosing the best type for what you’re painting instead of the most waterproof paint overall.
