"Rolando wants to provide the best results and makes excellent recommendations that you should consider and discuss. Lower cost (cheaper paints) don’t necessarily give you the best or lasting results. His team is very meticulous and does a great job in prepping and cleanup."

"Highly recommend J&D painting for exterior work. Contractor provided detailed and accurate cost estimates and helpful recommendations on paint colors and textures to highlight the best features of the house. Not only did outstanding painting work but also helped source handyman labor to upgrade external window trim. Really happy with the results and would hire them again without hesitation."

"I am so thrilled with the painting Manny and the team completed. They did an excellent job from beginning to end. They took our painting needs for our home and brought it back to life. They were professional, clean, kind, courteous, detailed and went above and beyond to get our painting job done. They offered a fair price to complete all the projects. We loved them so much we continued to find more and more work for the team to do. We had our home exterior and interior painted, the deck repaired and refinished. Manny was able to match our unique interior paint colors from previous owners with flawless execution. He is the most knowledgeable, talented, fair, Professional and kind painter I have ever met. They are extremely hard working and will complete any job perfectly. He goes above and beyond what is expected. He makes any dream come true! We are so fortunate to have been blessed with their painting presence. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for top notch painting in any high end home! Sincerely, Karen Jeffery-Wheeler"

"Wonderful! From the estimate of our job, paint choices, to the completion of our work. Communication was clear, job completed in a timely manner, the crew was exceptional, polite, courteous and good work ethic. (We lived in our home while the job was being completed and the crew respected us and our home.) The pricing was very competitive and we would use Diaz Professional Painting for all future painting needs. We highly recommend Felipe and his crew!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

The best time to paint your deck is when temperatures are neither too cold (below 60 degrees) nor too hot (above 85 degrees). Always paint your deck when there’s no risk of rain. For fast-drying paint like acrylic or latex, ensure your deck can dry for at least four hours. Oil-based paints take longer to dry and may require 48 hours to completely cure.

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must. 

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.
