"Dave was punctual and was very hardworking, making sure my new decking system was installed correctly. He took the time to install each layer of the decking system and made the finished surface graded so the water drained off perfectly. I would hire him again if I ever need to redo my deck."

"Perfect; door was sanded and re-stained - looks brand new and expectations are that it will last for approximately 3 years when Rick Jamison will be contacted once again."

"House Painting Inc painted our 2-story house in 8 days. They did a flawless job, great workmanship, always on time. Half the time was spent on patching, sending, prepping, power washing, vine removal which no prior company has done to this extent and this well over the last 15 years. The difference matters. Previously we have had an invasion of an army of half-trained folks completing the job in 5 days, sometimes covering entire vines on the side of the house with paint without removing them. The extra $s definitely were worth it and a fair price. Great job! Once we get ready to paint the inside we'll be calling them again."

"I moved into a new house and needed two rooms painted before my furniture arrived. Jose was my third painter, after the previous two were no show. He came on time for the estimate, pointed out the over painting on some of the frames and asked if I wanted that corrected. He showed up on time to complete the job and did an amazing job. It was perfect and his clean up was great. I highly recommend Jose."

"Exceeded my expectations.  This is the second time I have used J & B Painting.  The first time was back in February for the interior painting of two bathrooms and a bedroom.  They did an excellent job then, so we went ahead and had them do the exterior of the house and the gates/fences/awnings.  Cost for house was $3,800; fences/gates/awnings $1,200. 
We met with Bob Berger to go over all of the details and were scheduled to start on a Tuesday.  We then had to go out of the state for a family emergency on Monday night. We called Bob and told him to go ahead with the work, even though we would not be home (that's how much I trust him).  He called me regularly to let me know how things were going.
We returned two weeks later to find the house looking beautiful!  His team did an excellent job and took great care with all the trim and details.  I have a lot of delicate landscaping around the house and they were very careful not to damage any of it.  They even went so far as to remove items from a storage closet so they could paint the interior wall and move/replace a pile of bricks to access another wall, both in areas that no one really sees.
They returned to finish the doors and go over anything that might have been overlooked once we were back in town.  There was really nothing missed.
His workers are conscientious, polite, detail oriented and extremely neat (no paint/stain spilled on the ground, etc.)
They are now my go-to company for any painting job.  I highly recommend them without hesitation.

"James painted my 2900 sq ft single story home in one day. His crew was polite, efficient, and very thorough. They cleaned up afterwards and put everything back. James put the four color samples that I requested on my house and helped me make a decision. His crew walked with us around the house after completion to make sure we were satisfied. We were pleased beyond our expectations with the price and quality of the job."

"We had them pressure wash and re-stain our redwood deck. Ricardo is a great guy, extremely personable and will go over and above to make sure you're happy as a client. We intend on using them again, when the need arises."

"We used Daniel Clark and his crew to paint and stain parts of the exterior of our house. They did an amazingly thorough job, very good quality and prepped very well before they started. He is honest and very fair in his price. I would use his company again in a heartbeat and will tell anyone I know in need of painting to use his company! Very highly recommended!!"

"I hired H2R to apply Coolwall Systems coating to the exterior of my house, and am very happy with the price, process and results. The crew worked every day until completion. They even worked the weekend to complete the job before the next rainstorm! They were very pleasant and courteous, and were thorough and meticulous throughout. They cleaned up and neatly stored tools and materials at the end of each day. As a retired construction superintendent, I was pleased with their attention to detail! When I asked about roof vents and flashings, they freshened up the paint at no additional cost - even though it was never discussed prior to start. One thing to be aware of; even though sanding and patching of wood trim was included in the original quote,apparently stucco patching was not included since the extent could not be determined until water-blasting was done. Just make sure you know what is included. I am already considering H2R for a future project, and highly recommend them!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

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. 

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface.
