"The experience with H&S painting was smooth. The crew showed up when Humberto scheduled and worked efficiently, quickly to complete the staining and paint job on the house prior to the targeted end date. Colors and staining came out just as expected. The crew was clean and courteous in the day to day interactions. Crew also identified a previous unknown issue with the fascia connection to power on the house so that was much appreciated. Very professional team. I highly recommend H&S painting to anyone considering painting and staining their house."

"My experience with this company was outstanding. My house needed wood replacement because of dry rot, we needed vinyl stripping replaced, holes filled in with caulking. They also picked up all their trash and supplies so that when the job was done it looks great. I would highly recommend anybody to use this company. I am thrilled with my house."

"John Avila is a great guy to work with. We needed major work done on our two story house that included removal of old rain gutters, an old fire place chimney that is never used, damaged siding, damaged fascia board, old window trim and much more that hadn?t been touched in over 25 years. The house, including the steel roof was then pressured washed, caulked, primed and re-painted with top end Dunn Edward paint. Many other fine details were taken care of as well. The list goes on and on. It took well over a month to get all the work done. I am a retired building contractor too old to do this work but John and his crew were here to do the job. His prices aren?t cheap or over the top but reasonable with a little negotiating. I know that John is very busy and sometimes forgets to get back to your questions but I am a little concerned that he didn?t follow through with my request for getting an estimate for new flooring throughout or house."

"I have used people to help me with different projects on my different homes throughout the years and l must say I was totally amazed.I,m very happy with Bethlehem's work ethics ,workmanship as well as his personally he did a wonderful job and he listened to what l wanted. This table is very old and actually came apart in his hands l watched him put it back together and attached it to the wall. He knew exactly what needed to be done and did it. I'm very happy and will definitely used him again in my future projects. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to express my appreciation."

"The exterior stain on my house, porch, and entryways turned out amazing. The color is rich, the finish is clean, and it brought out the natural beauty of the wood. They even went above and beyond and patched holes and cracks that I didn’t see at first. Sorry baby Great attention to detail and quality from start to finish. Juan was very great at communicating and the price was unbeatable.Highly recommend!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Two coats of stain are ideal for the best protection and aesthetic appeal. However, if your decking is made of particularly dense hardwood, you may only need one coat. If you want an intense color, two coats are ideal.

Yes, staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan, typically by five to 10 years. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and rot over time. Applying a treatment creates a protective shield that helps prevent splintering, fading, and decay, preserving the wood's strength and appearance. A combination stain and sealer often provides the best protection, as it soaks into the wood grain rather than just sitting on top. This offers superior defense against UV damage and rot and lasts longer than a sealer alone. To maintain the wood's natural look, consider using a near-translucent stain. You should plan to reapply the stain or sealer every two to three years.

Adding a second coat of stain to wood can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.

You can paint over old paint on a concrete porch. For the best results, you should first clean the surface and remove as much paint as you can. A power washer is helpful here, but you’ll also want to scrape as much of the old paint away as possible. Then you should prime the porch before repainting it.

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.
