"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."

"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!"

"We got into this project with no clue where to start and what needed to be done. Carlos walked me through step by step on the process and was very helpful. Hands down the best price in town, I know you’ve heard it before and you’re probably thinking great price meaning cheap work! Not at all! The pictures say it all! Carlos listened to my many requests and he and his team delivered! Cruz was very patient and made sure I got everything I wanted regarding the work on the house. Oscar and Luis are one of the best handymen in the Bay Area! They can basically do whatever you need to be done! I’ve received so many compliments from all my neighbors."

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

The staining or painting process involves cleaning the deck, sanding surfaces, applying a primer (if needed), and carefully applying stain or paint for an even, lasting finish.

It’s a good idea to sand your porch before painting. This will remove loose or chipped paint and debris, and give you a cleaner surface so that your new paint goes on smoothly. But if the existing surface is in good condition, it’s not necessary to sand your porch before you paint.

It’s best to use an exterior latex acrylic paint to promote maximum adhesion to composite decking. This flexible paint type can better cope with the natural expansion and contraction that can occur with composite deck boards. Oil-based paints won’t adhere as effectively and are more likely to crack and peel as the boards flex. Testing whether your chosen paint will stick on an inconspicuous section or a spare board is a good idea.

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.

Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years.
