Our Background J&L Painting is a family business. My brother and I work together. ​ I have been working in the county as a painter since 2004. In that time, I learned what clients want, what makes clients happy. Our clients are our priority. Why? Because in any local business, our clients are our community and neighbors. We want to maintain a good relationships in our community.. Quality comes from taking pride in your work. I decided to venture out and build my painting business so I can provide quality service and help my clients feel good about their homes. ​ i want my clients to feel valued, not taken advantage of. If I make a new friend, well that is just a bonus!

"Overall good. Very considerate of our needs and communicated well about project touch points. Since our project was smaller scale for them, they worked after hours and at sporadic days and times."

Actually getting the job done. Licensed # 892522 But your website doesn't want painters as it isn't even a category for projects? What a joke, nearly every construction project requires paint or some sort of coating yet your site neglects to list interior or exterior painting as a catagory? Knew it was a scam.

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.

Here's the deal with leaving used rags covered in oil-based stain lying around in a pile: Depending on the conditions, these rags can take just an hour or up to a few days to combust. The source of ignition is caused by trapped heat that can be compounded if the rags are near a heat source.

The best paint for an older deck depends on the material and whether or not your deck already has a coat of paint. Generally, if your deck already has paint on it, you should choose the same type of paint when repainting the deck. For example, if an old deck has oil-based paint on it, stick with oil; if your deck has water-based paint, choose water-based paint. 

You’ll want to avoid excessively hot or humid conditions, so it’s best to apply your stain in late spring to early fall. It's also important to watch the weather forecast and aim for days when there isn’t rain expected for at least three days. For new decks, allow the wood to season beforehand for at least four to eight weeks.

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.
