He was highly skilled and extremely knowledgeable about the entire project. He took the time to explain the whole project to me and made sure I was comfortable with the process before started. He was very skilled and experienced. The completed project exceeded my expectations.

"We contacted Robert Lopez to get a quote on painting the interior walls of the apartment in Tustin that my fiancee and I are moving into.  Robert was not only on time for our scheduled appointment, he was actually early which showed me that this contractor was very responsible in keeping his appointments.  Robert went through the whole process with us and helped us pick the colors that would best fit with the color of our carpeting (brownish orange - kind of tricky!) and would also fit within our own personal tastes.  After finalizing the details Robert was able to give us a quote on the spot which I appreciated.  I told him that we would discuss it that night and get back to him the following day with our decision.  We decided not to use Robert's services, but not because of anything Robert did.  In fact, we really liked our experience with him and are definitely going to use his services in the future.  Our decision was based upon our experiences with our property management company who have made the entire move in process for us such a nightmare, that we are without a doubt only staying in this property for a year to satisfy our lease and then find somewhere else that we want to stay for a longer period of time.  When we find that place, we will be calling Robert back!  But it didn't make sense to paint the walls of an apartment that we are already planning on moving out of, especially before we've even moved in."

"Not good. Was rushed. Did not provide samples. I had to go buy them myself. I asked for some time so we could decide on colors. The jod was rushed and do not feel that the job was done right. Long story short I have had to fix the things they Broke or did not complete. What was promised was not done. If you hire them. Make sure you get it in writing. The crew was nice. Better if you speak Spanish. But they were a good crew. I am sorry I could not leave a better review. But with all the clean up. And getting all the paint off my wall ways. I should have got more quotes. Than had to make the check out to different people. Just a little shady to me."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Choosing the best color for your home exterior should factor in longevity as well as your personal taste. To keep your house looking newly painted as long as possible, stay away from red paint. Although red homes pop and are quintessential for country-style barns, red paint tends to fade fastest in the sun. Go with earth tones if you want paint that best resists fading.

Constant exposure to inclement weather conditions can damage your deck, causing it to fade, warp, or crack over time. Regular maintenance keeps it looking and performing its best. That means giving it a good cleaning and applying a quality sealant or wood treatment to help defend against moisture, sun damage, and everyday wear.

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

Hangers are one way of attaching stair stringers to a deck. These metal hangers are usually adjustable, allowing you to find the ideal angle for a secure installation. They’re the best choice for installing longer staircases, such as one on a two-story deck, to reduce the load on the deck frame while keeping the stairs stable.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.
