"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!"

"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

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.

Regular cleaning, touch-ups for small defects, and resealing or repainting every 2-3 years help to maintain a vibrant appearance and protection.

The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage. 

You shouldn't paint a metal fence. Painting doesn't necessarily damage a corrugated metal fence, but these types of fences are meant to flex, and paint can easily chip and break off. Latex paints can address this issue, but those tend not to be very weather-resistant. Certain paints can trap moisture in the corrugation, which can rust the metal and lead to corrosion. And finally, if you paint a copper fence, it won't patina, which is one of the main reasons people buy copper.  

Wood stain is not flammable after it dries. The solvent in wood stain is what causes the liquid form to be highly flammable, but the stain drying process involves the solvents dissolving, which leaves behind a non-flammable product on your wood project. Wood stain is, however, flammable before you apply it, so you should always store partially full cans and used wood stain rags away from sources of heat and open flames.
