"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!"

"Juan and Anthony did a remarkable job with prepping our house and shed to be painted. The paint job is fabulous and we couldn’t be happier with it. They were such a joy to work with. They were great with my hubby being out there watching and asking questions. We will certainly refer anyone we know who needs their home painted. Juan is a true professional and a down right good man and his son Anthony is remarkable young man with a work ethnic that most adults, could you learn from. We have made plans to do things together outside of this job , as friends. Thank you very much for the wonderful job you did for us. We are truly grateful for all your hard work. God bless this family."

"Our little project was completed in record time. The First Class crew did an outstanding job and we could not be more pleased with the result. Jordan, the owner, also provided good advice on color. The original color we chose was too dark so we chose a lighter shade and it looks great!"

"We approached JP’s paints for painting the exterior of our home. Lindsay and Julian walked us through the process and answered all our questions and concerns. Once we received the approvals, their crew started the work immediately. They did a wonderful job with fixing the stucco, painting and cleanup. Everyone was very professional and took real care of the property. I would give them 5 stars on all the aspects of the project. We got so many positive comments from the neighbors already. Lindsay assured us that we would be pleasantly surprised and they would do a great job. They kept their promise and we are so happy how the house looks with the new paint. We would definitely recommend them to someone hiring for their painting projects. Wishing them all the very best in their future endeavors ."

"Excellent, he opened up my linen closet in the bathroom. He did drywall, built shelves and stained them along with installing the shelves. His work is excellent! He cleans up and is very polite and professional. He shows up on time and does not stop until he’s done. I would definitely hire again! You should too, you want be sorry!!!"

"Dan and his team removed some existing floating LVP, self leveled a kitchen and installed about 700sqft of brand new LVP. I can’t say enough good things about him and his team. The price was fair, the communication was top notch, and the attention to detail made me grateful I chose them. They were on time every morning and put in a full shift. Would recommend them 10 out of 10 times."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

Limewash and whitewash do not harm surfaces if you apply them correctly. Use on non-suitable surfaces can cause issues. For instance, applying limewash or whitewash to surfaces with existing sealants or incompatible materials may lead to poor adhesion or flaking. Also, harsh cleaning agents on limewashed or whitewashed surfaces can damage the finish. Proper preparation, application, and maintenance ensure that limewash and whitewash do not harm surfaces.
