"So-Cal Painting Done Right did a great job on refinishing and staining the exterior doors of my home. The estimate was accurate and Diego arrived on-time to complete the project. 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. In the future I will definitely call So Cal Painting Done Right and request Diego- he’s definitely their super star."

"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

For homes in areas with extreme weather, high heat, or intense sun exposure, high-quality acrylic paint is the best option. Acrylic paint is durable, resistant to both heat and cold, and provides a protective barrier with excellent UV resistance. For best results, look for acrylics that contain natural earth pigments, which are better suited for resisting sun damage. While oil-based paint is also durable, it can be prone to fading in high heat and can become too viscous to apply easily in cold temperatures. Additionally, choosing a neutral or light color like gray, beige, or white can help, as these colors absorb less heat than darker shades.

Various kinds of substances and deck preservatives act as protective coatings for wood to prevent rot, which is caused by water getting into the wood and creating cracks and splits. Stains, paints, and sealants are the three best options to protect your wood, but there are also oils, varnishes, and waxes available. You’ll need to reapply sealant at least once per year, and you should inspect your wood deck regularly to look for signs of damage or general wear and tear.

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.

Yes, staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan, typically by five to 10 years. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and rot over time. Applying a treatment creates a protective shield that helps prevent splintering, fading, and decay, preserving the wood's strength and appearance. A combination stain and sealer often provides the best protection, as it soaks into the wood grain rather than just sitting on top. This offers superior defense against UV damage and rot and lasts longer than a sealer alone. To maintain the wood's natural look, consider using a near-translucent stain. You should plan to reapply the stain or sealer every two to three years.

Oxygen bleach uses hydrogen peroxide as a base and won’t harm wood when using it as a cleaner. On the other hand, chlorine bleach breaks down wood at the cellular level and causes irreversible harm. Although you may not see immediate damage to wood after exposing it to chlorine bleach, its strength and integrity are now compromised.
