"This is the second time we have hired them. They did a great job the first time on our townhouse. We just moved to Tampa and had them paint our condo. The same three guys did this job. They are professional and do a fantastic job. They also do a great job cleaning up."

"OMG not only do they handle everything professionally, they gave me a very detailed quote and did everything they said they were going to do and went above and beyond to do even more than what was promised. They hauled away items for free that really were not their responsibility but but did it anyhow. They even painted other areas of my patio when I asked them and I told them to add it to my bill (which was not added....only the amount originally quote. They said they would be here at 8:00 but showed up a half hour early and began working which has never been my experience when working within the construction business and with contractors (and my father-in-law was a building contractor for 30 years). Now after having them paint my metal roof on my patio, I do not ever want to hire anyone else....I hope they stay in business for many more years as they have spoiled me for any other painters. Also they pressure washed the whole patio first, moving out everything and taking photos so that they could put everything back as it was before. And they even referred someone to me to fix my screen as I need to have all new screening on the back patio. Absolutely the best of the best!!! I would give them 10 stars if you would allow it."

"I went on Angi’s list and asked for a couple of painters to call me regarding some painting I needed done. This company called me almost immediately. I spoke to Amzard, the owner, and he was very nice and we made arrangements to meet. He was right on time, looked at what needed to be done and very quickly sent us his proposal. It was very fair and he got the job done quickly. We had a living room, dining room, hallway, kitchen, two bedrooms and two bathrooms and the laundry room painted. He did it quickly and efficiently and did a great job. We are actually having him come back to do some more trim work that we need done and to repair the ceiling in the laundry room. He was very responsible and reliable, cleaned up after himself and did a great job. I fully recommend him and plan on using this company in the future."

"Highly recommend Paint by Rojas. His crew did the exterior of our two story; repaired rotten wood, finished residing lap board siding, pressure washed stained and repainted. Then they remodeled our master bath with large, countertops and fixtures. Because of their hard work, clean working site and professionalism we had them remodeled our Kitchen. Great team. Call for references."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

The opposite is actually true: Wood stains tend to appear lighter when they’re fully dry. However, stains may darken as they weather and oxidize with age. Stains might also darken on surfaces left in direct sunlight, as UV rays can break down pigment particles and cause them to darken over time.

Yes, beginners can use a paint sprayer, but there is a learning curve. It's important to go slowly, read the instructions thoroughly, and spend some time learning the technique. Watching tutorial videos for your specific paint sprayer model can be very helpful. Before starting your main project, practice on a scrap surface to get used to the sprayer and avoid common issues like overspraying, which can cause drips, bubbles, and other imperfections. For safety, always wear a mask and gloves, and be careful not to touch the sprayer's tip when it's in use, particularly with high-powered airless sprayers.

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths

Apply a wood stain or sealant to properly maintain a wood deck railing and keep it looking new. Sealants protect wood from moisture and weathering. Regularly inspect the railing for loose screws, damaged balusters, and other signs of wear to make timely repairs. Routinely clean the railing using mild soap, water, and a soft bristle brush.
