"The final look was absolutely beautiful. A certain color i picked didn’t look how i expected it to & they were more than willing to paint over and redo that section with a different color of my choice. Everyone was very respectful & professional. I will be calling back for more inside work!"

"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

A properly applied coat of stain will last between 3 and 8 years, depending on your climate. If you live in a place where your fence experiences a lot of moisture or high heat, your stain will last for a shorter period than in more temperate conditions. We recommend reapplying stain every 3 to 5 years to keep your wood in good condition.

If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.

Yes, it is generally a very good idea to seal your deck after pressure washing. Power washing removes not only dirt and debris but also a thin layer of wood, leaving the surface exposed and more susceptible to weathering. Sealing is almost always needed after this process. After a general cleaning, sealing isn't automatically necessary if the existing sealant is still intact. You can test the surface by placing a few drops of water on it. If the water beads up, the sealant is working. If it soaks into the wood, it's time to apply a new sealant. If it has been a few years, it's wise to remove the old sealant, wash the deck, and reseal for maximum protection.

Exterior paints contain more volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, making them dangerous when used indoors. Without the free ventilation of the great outdoors, it can take longer for the fumes to dissipate than interior paint. While you may notice the smell lessening more quickly, you should be wary of paint fumes inside for 48 to 72 hours after it dries.

Avoid using cleaning products that are abrasive or contain bleach or acidic components on composite decking to avoid discoloration. Early-generation Trex decking isn’t designed to handle pressure washer cleaning—and if you use them on second-generation boards, always use a low setting to avoid the risk of damage that can risk voiding your warranty.
