"We couldn’t be happier with J & C Coatings! At first, we picked the wrong color, and honestly, we were pretty frustrated with ourselves. But they were so great about it—super patient and helpful. They brought us samples (which we should have done from the start!), and in the end, we found the perfect color—actually even better than what we originally had in mind! Their attention to detail was amazing, and they made sure everything was done flawlessly. They were professional, kind, and really went above and beyond to make sure we loved the result. Plus, they kept everything clean and finished on time. If you need painters who truly care and will help you every step of the way, J & C is the way to go. We’re so grateful for their hard work and will absolutely be using them again!"

"Mr Williamson and his crew painted the exterior of my house. They were diligent to details and used superior material to give our place a much needed face lift. After finishing they even did a pressure wash and leaf removal on the gutters, Great job Alex and crew. KA merry Christmas to all of you. Bill Schwarze, Pelican Lane in Rockledge"

"Dustin and Randall did a super job!! They cleaned and prepared the outside of the house and the pool screen frame. Then they painted everything the exact way we wanted while carefully covering and protecting the ground, floors, doors and windows. We would hire them again."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

You’ll want to avoid excessively hot or humid conditions, so it’s best to apply your stain in late spring to early fall. It's also important to watch the weather forecast and aim for days when there isn’t rain expected for at least three days. For new decks, allow the wood to season beforehand for at least four to eight weeks.

Ideally, it's best to stain your dock once per year. Applying stain doesn't just keep it looking nice and new; it also helps extend the dock’s lifespan. Since you want to ensure water levels are at their lowest, it's best to have this project done by a professional dock repair service in the cooler autumn or early winter months. 

While the answer varies based on weather, 10 a.m. is a good time to start painting. The dew will have dried, meaning there’s no moisture on the house, and the temperature will likely be moderate and the sunlight less direct. Starting mid-morning should also give you enough daylight and pleasant weather to work on the job for several hours.

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. 

If your biggest concern is making sure your deck doesn’t show dirt, opt for a darker neutral color that blends in well with your surrounding landscape. A rich brown or dark grey are both good options that work with a variety of house colors. A high-quality acrylic paint is easy to clean and maintain, so it might be worth spending the money on.
