"Steve is very easy to communicate with, and was responsive to any concerns I had. He has a broad range of knowledge in home construction and maintenance, and graciously helped me out with a couple issues I had. The exterior house painting job and deck staining that I hired him for turned out great - and was reasonably priced. I highly recommend him. He's a pro, and a good guy."

"Daniel and his team at Soco Painting did a fantastic job on the exterior paint job. They were quick, thorough and communicative including tackling some minor dry rot repair and shutter replacement plus final touch ups. All for a far price. A+ No complaints."

"They removed the old surface of kitchen cabinets and painted them. They were careful to make sure no paint or spray got into any other part of the house. Their quoted price did not change. I highly recommend them!"

"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."

Painting questions, answered by experts

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

Pressure-treated wood lasts at least 10 years, but with the right care and treatment, it can last as long as 40 years. Painting the boards is one way to increase the lifespan of pressure-treated wood. The layer of paint provides extra protection for the wood against the exterior elements and insects.

The longevity of paint on wood depends on factors like the quality of the paint, surface preparation, exposure to elements, and maintenance. Exterior paint on wood surfaces can last 5 to 15 years or more with proper care and maintenance. Interior paint tends to have a longer life span, often 10 years or more. Regular cleaning, touch-ups, and addressing any issues like peeling or cracking can extend the life of the paint. 

A properly applied coat of stain will last between 3 and 8 years, depending on your climate. If you live in a place where your fence experiences a lot of moisture or high heat, your stain will last for a shorter period than in more temperate conditions. We recommend reapplying stain every 3 to 5 years to keep your wood in good condition.

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.
