"Francisco and crew are really great guys ! They were very professional and got my house painted in record time ! They did a great job from start to finish. I have an old house 1907, and they took great care in masking off the trim, stained glass windows,etc. They were very pleasant while they were working. The price was very fair and the work is outstanding !"

"Steve did a great job on our house, and was as careful as he could be around the planted areas next to the house. His bid was not the lowest, but he quoted better quality paint (as rated by Consumer Reports) and more layers of work -- power-washing with TSP, then a primer coat using Kilz, then two coats of paint. He and his crew were pleasant and neat. It was worth the "extra" (which may not really be any extra amount when considering the additional time and materials involved)."

Customers say: True professional

"Luis is a skilled, hard-working, thorough, and trustworthy professional craftsman who takes pride in doing an excellent job. He cleaned and restained 3 redwood decks for me, along with wood shingling around my house, repainting the white trims. I was deeply impressed with his noteworthy attention to detail in his estimate, pointing out to me many things I hadn't seen, discovering dry rot and other serious deteriorations in the woodwork that was built in the late 1970's. Too many contractors would just paint over the problems, but every step of the way Luis pointed out the situation and gave me options for repair and replacement. I feel so fortunate to have hired Luis and his team to work on restaining, repainting, repair and/or replacing all the defective wood in my structures. He did an outstanding job, and I have full confidence in his trustworthy integrity and skill. I'm already hiring him again for additional work. Without any hesitation, I recommend Luis Painting Company for any work you may need done in this area."

"Had a very good experience with this company. They were fast, respectful, took care to clean up and return landscaping and decor to normal after they finished, and the paint job turned out great. They were very professional and nice to deal with. I would recommend them and would also hire again."

"Darrin did a great job transforming my kitchen cabinets. His crew were on time and any questions or concerns were answered and addressed promptly. Compared to the cost of a new kitchen remodel, painting the cabinets was the best option to minimize expense with my remodeling project.. Very pleased with the end product, and overall experience."

"We hired Sonoma Valley Painting to paint the entire interior of our home before moving in, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Jeremy and his team were wonderful to work with—professional, detail-oriented, and incredibly skilled. Our house originally had dark colors throughout, and Jeremy completely transformed it, brightening every space and giving it a fresh, welcoming feel. We painted every single room and added a dark accent wall in our bedroom, which Jeremy helped us match perfectly to our vision. Our home also had custom-stained doors, and Jeremy went above and beyond to ensure any new or unstained trim matched beautifully. He even helped refinish our front door, which truly elevated our curb appeal and made the whole house feel brand new. We highly recommend Sonoma Valley Painting for anyone looking for quality work, great communication, and a team that truly cares about the finished product."

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

Whether you can paint over your existing paint depends on what’s on there. Most of the time, you’ll want to sand down or scrape off the paint that’s currently coating your surface. Epoxy paint, for example, won’t let new paint stick to the surface. Latex paint is more forgiving and will accept a new coat, but a primer is recommended if you’re switching colors.

Routine cleaning, sealing/staining, and inspection prolong deck life and appearance.

Oxygen bleach uses hydrogen peroxide as a base and won’t harm wood when using it as a cleaner. On the other hand, chlorine bleach breaks down wood at the cellular level and causes irreversible harm. Although you may not see immediate damage to wood after exposing it to chlorine bleach, its strength and integrity are now compromised.

The opposite is actually true: Wood stains tend to appear lighter when they’re fully dry. However, stains may darken as they weather and oxidize with age. Stains might also darken on surfaces left in direct sunlight, as UV rays can break down pigment particles and cause them to darken over time.

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place.
