"Jimmy and his team did a phenomenal job on our very large project. They removed and replaced drywall, removed wall paper, painted the entire interior of our home and painted the pool deck - most of which required 3 coats. They even built a new facade for the fireplace and removed a platform bed. The job took about 2 weeks. Their work is meticulous - not a drop of paint out of place. They work extremely hard - arrive at 8am 6 days a week and work a full day. And when I expanded the scope of the job to include the fireplace, Jimmy showed up on Sunday (his one day off) with his wife to get it done so he could stick to the original estimated time to complete the job. Jimmy offers advice based on his expertise and asks questions to ensure every aspect of the job is done exactly how you want it. He puts so much pride into his work and does not rest until it is perfect. Worth every penny."

"We've used several house painting firms over the past few decades. Roundhouse was easily the most professional. From the initial quote process, through our HOA approval process (what a hassle that was!), to the actual work, Hector, Norman and his brother (sorry I didn't catch your name ... but thank you for serving our country in the Army) were fantastic. They trenched around the whole house (so paint color goes below soil line), taped everything, repainted a few parts we changed our minds on (thank you), walked around and touched up anything that looked off, and cleaned up completely (including returning the mulch to the trenches). Each interaction was met with smiles and can-do attitudes. And the paint job was top notch. We absolutely recommend Roundhouse Painting."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, you need to thoroughly clean the deck surface before staining your deck. Dirt, debris, and mildew can settle on the surface of your wood. If you do not properly clean it, these stains will get trapped between the wood and the stain. Not only does this present an unsightly surface, but your wood will only partially be protected by the stain, meaning you'll need to stain again sooner.

Choose based on climate, finish preference (glossy, matte), and durability. Tailored coatings also provide longevity.

The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage. 

Here's the deal with leaving used rags covered in oil-based stain lying around in a pile: Depending on the conditions, these rags can take just an hour or up to a few days to combust. The source of ignition is caused by trapped heat that can be compounded if the rags are near a heat source.

It’s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that’s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat.
