"David and his crew were efficient and professional painting the exterior of our home, cottage and wooden hutch. I’m not someone who regularly writes online, reviews, but I do highly recommend J & D Painting."

"Jose and his crew were very professional. They paid close attention to detail and worked hard to make things right. They painted the outside of our home - both stucco and trim and stained the front door - and did a great job. Their price was very reasonable. I would recommend them to many others."

"Paradise Painting did an excellent job repainting the exterior of my house. Adrian was very professional in all aspects of the job. Major prep was needed on the wood siding in the front. He did not rush the job, making sure the walls were fully dry and prepped before applying the paint. Excellent clean up afterwards. I would definitely reuse them again."

"They came in and very efficiently removed old wall paper in two rooms. They had to skim coat in one of the rooms. But the results are very good!"

"It was nice to hire people who take pride in their work. These guys exceeded our expectations when painting the interior and exterior of our house. We couldnâ t be happier with the outcome! The group of guys who worked on the house were polite and respectful of our space. Me and my wife felt involved every step of the way and thorough communication made it a seamless process when selecting paint and other details. We were given lots of options and benefits/drawbacks to each choice. We also saw some of the previous projects they worked on so we felt confident in choosing FST. Our home looks beautiful and I would recommend FST to anyone!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

Limewash and whitewash do not harm surfaces if you apply them correctly. Use on non-suitable surfaces can cause issues. For instance, applying limewash or whitewash to surfaces with existing sealants or incompatible materials may lead to poor adhesion or flaking. Also, harsh cleaning agents on limewashed or whitewashed surfaces can damage the finish. Proper preparation, application, and maintenance ensure that limewash and whitewash do not harm surfaces.

To make sure the paint won’t bubble as you apply it, make sure to paint on a day that’s cooler than 85 degrees Fahrenheit. When the temperature is too high, the paint won’t dry evenly, which can result in bubbles forming on the surface. Another way to prevent paint from bubbling is to clean the walls, apply primer, and let everything dry completely before you begin.

A five-gallon bucket of deck stain will cover roughly 875 square feet in a single coat. Actual coverage will vary based on the type of wood you’re staining and the number of coats. If you plan on doing multiple coats, multiply the square footage by the number of coats to calculate how many buckets of stain you’ll need.

Yes, pressure-treated wood can occasionally turn green due to certain preservatives, such as copper-based chemicals, used during the treatment process. These chemicals react with the wood, creating a greenish tint. The good news? It's temporary, and the color will fade over time. Staining or painting can also help hide any unwanted hues.
