"Excellent. Rick Jamison Painting did an amazing stain job on our new wood garage doors. They were able to sand and stain all our current gates to match back to new garage. Very professional, friendly and reliable company. I would highly recommend."

"Diego was fantastic with the job from start to finish. He went above and beyond, including offering to paint my home on a day he was planning to take off, going to different paint store locations to get the right match, upgrading the paint quality, and sending me updates of progress throughout the day. Couldn't have asked for a better outcome of the paint job itself. Would 100% use again and recommend to anyone looking for quality, affordable painting services."

"We had a fantastic experience with Custom Painting and Decorating Inc.! They were professional. Cesar provided a detailed quote immediately after reviewing the scope of work. Their pricing was the most competitive especially considering the quality of work. Cesar was very accommodating and promptly scheduled our job. The team did an excellent job with the painting. We are very happy with the results and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality, reliability, and affordability in their painting projects."

"The large paint crew came early and finished my one story house by 4pm. They painted the stucco, trim, siding and gates. The work was neat and professional, and the crew polite and cooperative. Jame's price was excellent and lower than the other two estimates I obtained. My house looks wonderful!!"

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

Adding a second coat of stain to wood can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.

Rags used with oil-based stains are highly flammable and can spontaneously combust in the right conditions. To reduce the fire risk, throw them in a metal container after use and add rocks on top to secure them. Add an inch of water and seal the container. Take the rags in the container to a hazardous waste factory as soon as possible.

If it rains after you paint your fence, you may need to apply another coat of paint after the fence thoroughly dries. This will ensure a good seal if the rain weakened any areas of the paint. However, if your paint had enough time to dry thoroughly before it rained, you should have no problem.

On most untreated wood fences, there is no need to sand before treating. You typically only need to sand if there’s an old coat of paint or stain on your fence. If you do need to sand off a previous paint or protective coating (like an old stain or sealant), use medium-grit sandpaper.

Regular staining, sealing, and inspecting for rot or insect damage prolongs fence lifespan.
