"Josh has done all the work on our doors from the original application of a custom stain which I love. He has done an amazing job. He came back it has been 2 years just to put a new top coat to maintain the door finish."

"These guys were great! I had the same crew every day, led by Abraham. He was very patient with me as I couldn't decide on the color. He brought me several paint samples over several days. Not only does the paint job look wonderful, but they also took great care to not trample my many plants that were close to the house, and not let my two dogs escape during the entire 8 day process. NO mess left behind. Highly recommend!"

"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."

"They did an excellent job of painting the interior of the house, including covering the old and new patched areas with texture, creating a beautiful interior walls. They also painted the decking of the balconies and the railing. The interior looks like a new home. They did a great job and I would use them again and recommend them to anyone."

"It went extremely well. Mr. White gave me a great price. He came by the next day after agreeing on price and start date and power washed the entire house. Looked for repairs that may be needed as well. Told me his crew would be here the following morning at 7:00am they were here about 6:45 am. They started working quickly and efficiently at sanding, filling stucco, checking for things that needed attention. Then began the actual painting around 11:00am. They prepped by covering my neighbors vehicles a fence as well to ensure that there wasn't any paint flying away anywhere. Paid very close attention to detail. They finished late afternoon and cleaned up behind themselves. Left me extra paint as well. There is a four year warranty on the job too! Mr. White helped me with the decision of exactly what paints I wanted and they blend very well. I chose a nice gray with black trim and went big and had my doors painted a fire engine red! Saw a few things I wanted touched up when he was by on Friday for payment and he sent someone out that very day to take care of. The house was painted on a Wednesday. I would have figured that a contractor would have been waiting at my door on Wednesday afternoon for payment. He gave me plenty of time to walk around look at and make comment. Was an extremely easy experience. The entire crew was courteous and worked very hard all day!"

"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."

"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!"

"I think the family was very nice and their crew was also nice. They came out everyday to check on the progress and most importantly they finished on time. They came a day early and finished a day early, even with one rain delay day. My house needed A LOT of prep work which I really appreciate the quality of work the crew did. They sold the project as if the family comes out and does the work, but they are actually the General Contractor of the project with a hired crew. some things to consider before hiring anyone: I think I would have liked a little more time to choose the paint color. I felt a little rushed and would have liked to have gone a little more traditional with bolder color choices, but at the end of the day it was my choice to proceed and it did turn out really nice. They said they would handle cleaning up all the plants and trees around the perimeter of the house so i wouldn't haven't hire a gardener. Had I known that all the planting around the perimeter would be destroyed, I may have rethought my timing and cleaned it out in advance. It took me three weekends to cutback the trees, remove the damaged succulents, and repair the sprinklers. I should have also taken everything into my garage to avoid overspray on furniture and breakage of solar lamps, plants, and decorative pieces that had to be removed or replaced. I did send them all my receipts and did all the work myself, and they said they will send me a check. I think that is fair. I didn't ask for the 5% discount from Home Repair as I knew the house needed a lot of work, and the 5% is more than the repairs. Most of the damage was due to the extensive amount of repairs they had to do, so I think it was inevitable. Overall I love my house and I got my orange door, which makes all the difference in the character.The neighbors love it, too."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Always sand a deck before repainting so the wood is smooth and ready for paint. While you do not need to fully remove paint before repainting, sanding helps remove any areas with weather and sun damage. Sanding also helps remove chipped or flaking paint and opens the wood pores to improve paint adhesion.

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.

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.

DIY is possible but presents risks of uneven surfaces or improper adhesion; professionals offer expertise to ensure a lasting finish.

Satin paint is generally considered a better choice for woodwork—including trim, baseboards, cabinets, and doors—than flatter finishes like eggshell or matte. Its soft sheen enhances architectural details and stands up well to frequent cleaning and daily wear. Compared to eggshell and matte finishes, satin is more durable for high-touch areas because it is less porous and doesn't absorb dirt as easily. Matte finishes, in particular, are prone to scuffs and are harder to clean, making them less practical for surfaces like doors and cabinets.
