"Sergio and his crew do excellent work and make suggestions regarding products to provide the best looking and longest lasting end result. They refinished our very worn and peeling deck and made it look like new again. I highly recommend using Art Work Painting."

"Paddy's guys did the work and clean up the same day. They did such a great job that their foreman checked their work the same day instead of a week later. They charged a fair price for my tiny house. Will recommend every time!!"

"Mike (Cambria Constuction) and his men did an overall outstanding job replacing our patio in a difficult location on our property. HIs price to do the jib was right too. The only thing I wish they had done differently was to make sure the concrete did not stain the bottoms of our trim and siding. It was taped and plastic sheeting was in place but did not stay due to not enough tape a on a windy day. We would DEFINITELY hire Cambria Construction Services again!"

"I use Sunrise Painting several times a year for both my clients I refer them to and for my own properties. He gets my quotes completed quickly and more importantly he gets the projects completed promptly. I also appreciate the owner, Halil, follows up each completion with his own final touch ups and cleanup. I think he and his firm are the best."

"Denis and his team did a fantastic job - I highly recommended DMJ on every level! This includes an on-point kitchen cabinet painting job I didn’t originally plan, but after discussing with Denis, I am so glad I had done by them (more detail below). I contacted many area companies and none were as responsive and detail oriented. I received a specific and clear proposal as well as a rough timeline and the work was done as proposed - quickly, thoroughly and respectfully Bonus — DMJ cleans up after themselves beautifully!!** **DMJ was meticulous about cleaning and caring for my home. A . I think this is important to note because I was told recently by another contractor I was using that a cleaning fee will be assessed ($300) if I expected contractors to, for example, flush the toilets after use. If I didn’t want layers of boot prints and hand prints on the previously clean counters, floors and toilets in non work areas, that would cost extra. DMJ is impeccable in this regard and they agree with my expectation that you leave a job site as clean as you found it and they don’t charge a cleaning fee to do that! DMJ also does excellent prep work - in addition to having freshly painted walls, trim, ceiling and doors, they really addressed every flaw on all surfaces - it was a job far beyond just paint. No painted over dry wall defects, they fix it ALL. No drywall tape left semi peeling, no sign of previous nail holes or pops, comparing recent work by other vendors, DMJ offers a superior end result. Our job included a very tall stairwell which was done over newly installed wood floors / stairs. The paint is perfect and not a drop of paint was out of place, nor scratch or bump made or left anywhere. Cabinets - I have had cabinets painted a few times over the past 15 years and DMJ does top of the line cabinet repainting at a reasonable price. They use the Benjamin Moore cabinet paints and by far this was the most professional cabinet painting job I’ve seen. Many companies may say they paint cabinets, DMJ painted ours so well, they look new. After a month of living with them, this cabinet paint is built for use and will last. So far, scratch resistant, easy to wipe down with no issues, etc. DMJ has enough infrastructure and trained personnel that they fit us in between other jobs as if we were a first priority immediately. DMJ offers a highly competitive price - even if not the lowest quite I received - when I factor in the level of quality and professionalism, the job easily was the most cost effective. If you need painting - don’t hesitate to hire DMJ Custom Colors!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

Ensure gutters and downspouts remain clean, monitor wall integrity, and promptly address any arising imperfections or peels concept permanence rooted.

Yes, you must thoroughly clean your deck before staining. If you don't, dirt, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped between the wood and the new stain. This not only looks unsightly but also prevents the stain from penetrating the wood properly, reducing its ability to protect the deck from weather and UV rays. As a result, the stain won't last as long or look as good. Any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning for the wood to dry completely before applying stain.

The need for a topcoat on a painted deck depends on various factors, primarily the type of paint used and your desired level of protection. Many premium deck paint formulations are self-sealing, eliminating the necessity for an additional topcoat. These paints often have built-in additives that substantially protect against moisture, UV rays, and everyday wear and tear.

There’s no single paint that’s the most waterproof. Instead, there are several types of waterproof and water-resistant paints that suit different purposes. Epoxy paint, for instance, is commonly used to provide a waterproof coating to floors and decks. Masonry paint is an excellent choice for exterior walls. Meanwhile, there are waterproof acrylic paints that can be used for interior and exterior walls. It’s more about choosing the best type for what you’re painting instead of the most waterproof paint overall.
