"Ruben offered a competitive bid, was available to start the project promptly, and completed the work ahead of schedule without cutting corners to do so. The prep and painting were very well done, the crew was hardworking and pleasant. Ruben kept me informed as to their progress throughout the project. Definitely would hire Ruben Roman Painting again!"

"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."

"Luis did a great job painting the entire outside of my house, the pergola, the fence and retaining walls. Inside he matched the existing paint color and painted the living/dining rooms, kitchen/family rooms, entry and long hallway walls and ceilings. He fixed dry rot outside and caulked cracks inside on walls and on the brick fireplace. It looked like a new house when he finished. He and his staff Manuel were always on time, kept me informed at every step and left things clean at the end of every day. I highly recommend Luis’ company for their professionalism and excellent work. The best recommendation is this: I will hire them again whenever I have painting needs."

"(In English, Spanish translation below) Neither my family nor I could be happier with Javier's integrity and the quality of his work both on the exterior and the interior of our home. We have hired him several times, and he is the only painter we will hire in the future. His work is impeccable. He works carefully and efficiently (e.g., without taking breaks and working on one part of our home while another part dried). We trusted him to work around the most valued possessions in our home, and we are extremely pleased with the results. He was always on time, provides precise estimates, and is amazing in his attention to detail. It has been many months since he did his work, and the paint looks as good as the day the work was completed. We first hired Javier to fix painting done by TWO other "professional" painters with whose work we were not satisfied. He was quickly able to turn mediocre painting, done by these lesser professionals, into what I can only call A+ painting. The evenness and precision of his painting made our walls, ceilings, and doors look like new after previous painters said that this kind of result was not possible. Javier painted quickly and extremely accurately. He “cut-in” the walls and ceilings perfectly. After he did his magic, even the deep red walls and bright white doors looked better than we could have imagined. We know you will find Javier to be reliable, hard-working, efficient, extremely honest, and truly a master painter—an Artist. (En Español) Ni mi familia ni yo podríamos estar más contentos con la integridad de Javier y la calidad de su trabajo tanto en el exterior como en el interior de nuestro hogar. Lo hemos contratado varias veces y él es el único pintor a quien contrataremos en el futuro. Su trabajo es impecable. Javier trabaja cuidadosa y eficientemente (por ejemplo, sin descansar: pintando en una parte de nuestro hogar mientras la otra pintura se seca). Le tenemos confianza para que trabaje cerca de las posesiones que más valoramos en nuestra casa y los resultados de su trabajo nos agradan sobremanera. Él es siempre puntual, provee estimaciones precisas y su atención a los detalles es extraordinaria. Han pasado ya muchos meses desde que él terminó con su trabajo y la pintura luce ahora tan bien como el día en que Javier completó su labor. La primera vez que contratamos a Javier fue para que reparara el trabajo hecho por otros DOS pintores "profesionales" con cuyos resultados no estuvimos satisfechos. Javier rápidamente transformó el trabajo mediocre, aquel de menor calidad realizado por otros pintores, en lo que yo solamente puedo llamar pintura A+. La uniformidad y la precisión de la pintura de Javier hizo que nuestras paredes, techos y puertas se vieran como nuevos aún después de que los pintores previos dijeran que ese tipo de resultado no sería posible. Javier pintó de manera muy rápida y con exactitud. Pintó el borde entre las paredes y los techos de manera perfecta. Después de hacer su magia, aún las paredes de color rojo oscuro y las puertas blancas brillantes se vieron mejor de lo que nosotros podríamos haber imaginado. Creemos que usted considerará a Javier como un pintor confiable, trabajador, eficiente, extremadamente honesto y, de verdad, un pintor maestro. Un artista."

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

While power washing isn't a requirement before you stain a fence, it can make the job much easier and faster while reducing manual labor requirements. The stain will not work if the wood is full of dirt and dust, so power washing, sometimes called pressure washing, is a fast and effective way to prepare the wood for staining. Remember that you need to stain or repaint relatively soon after the wood has dried so that there isn’t time for dust and dirt to build up again. 

For the best results, you should apply two coats of paint to your wrought iron fence. Let your first coat dry for about an hour then promptly apply your second coat.

Staining a fence is less expensive than painting a fence due to the cost of materials and the longevity of the finish. Stain not only lasts longer than paint without chipping or peeling, but you also won’t have to put in the extra time and cost to prime the surface first. 

Regular staining, sealing, and inspecting for rot or insect damage prolongs fence lifespan.

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.
