"Stan and two helpers were professional and easy to deal with throughout deck repair and color staining. The final bill was a bit expensive, but well done. I'd hire him again."

Customers say: True professional

"I highly recommend J.H. Painting Services! He did an amazing job on a house I’m preparing to sell and completely transformed the space. The biggest difference was the kitchen cabinets. They had previously been painted and were in really rough shape and I honestly wasn’t sure how good they could look again. After J.H. Painting finished them, they looked like brand new real wood cabinets. The transformation was incredible. They also painted the living room, dining room, hallway and one of the bedrooms and everything came out beautiful. He power washed the exterior of the house and the decks as well, which made such a noticeable difference. Taurino put a lot of care into his work and you can tell he takes pride in what he does. The house looks completely refreshed and so much more ready to put on the market. I would absolutely recommend J.H. Painting Services to anyone looking for quality painting and home improvement work!"

"It was great. Spiro and Dionysios did and amazing job. I contracted them to not only paint but to patch the walls and and clean up the door. They went above and beyond. In fact, they even fixed the door frame that was rotting even though it was not in their contract. I have used many painters before and these guys are the best I ever had."

"This company is awesome! They painted my house inside and out flawlessly! They also installed gorgeous vinyl plank flooring and carpet. I can’t say enough about the quality of the work! Workers were great and very efficient. The only glitz was in communication and that was partially because I’m difficult to reach. Would definitely give them a high recommendation!"

"WOW! Alex Williams and his crew have got to be the best people I've ever met for professionalism, a great price, efficiency and major attention to detail on fixing up the exterior of our house. We are VERY pleased! They removed the old roof and felt and replaced it with GAF Ultra HD shingles, an ice and water barrier layer along the edges and Deck Armor-a synthetic underlayment that is remarkable-on the rest of the roof. Heavy aluminum, six-inch seamless guttering and larger downspouts came next. Alex and his crew along with his son, Stan-of Stan's Home Improvements (see HomeAdvisor's review on Stan, also) took care of little details around the roof vents, the wood pellet stove chimney and the main oil burner chimney. They even do interior work, too. This team was so good, that we even had our siding painted-they did this meticulously, along with the chimney-and finally, Leaf Guard on the main roofs. AND, THEY LEFT THE AREA SPOTLESS! My husband and I do a lot of major projects around the house-we built it in 1971-and we know how to do lots of projects, but it was a pleasure to see Alex and Co. do the job so fast and so well. Alex and his crew were more than great-they were superb, AND they're coming around in the warmer early summer to do a flatter roof with MuleHide, to match the 50-year roof they just installed. Alex Williams and Stan and the crew did it all and at a fair price. You can't go wrong with them. (We’ve even been recommending them to our friends and acquaintences.) Jane and Frederick G. Fulton, MD"

"Short Review: Juan completed a small job for me: removal of a 140sqf plaster ceiling, installation of a new drywall ceiling, installation of recessed lighting, finish work and painting. Overall, Juan is a really good, honest guy and he did great work with the drywall and electrical. Improvements in communication and cleaning of the worksite would make him a 5/5. I would hire again if he treated the space a bit more delicately to prevent damage and cleaned up significantly better at the end. Full Review: Pros: Juan has attention to detail to his work; the end result was very professional. He underestimated how much time the project would take by a couple days, however he worked over the weekend during his family time to make sure the project was done on my timeline. Juan arrived pretty early on most days (e.g. 7:00a.m.) and put in full days to get the project done. Cons: I was out of town for 3/6 days of the project. There were a couple issues with the installation that I would have appreciated a phone call to discuss before moving forward. Although he did arrive early, he was sometimes off +/- a couple hours for his arrival. This is only an issue if you are planning to meet him, which wasnâ t absolutely necessary on my part. Cleaning was a bit of an issue. Juan did wipe things down as he went, but the level of cleanliness at the end was not great in my opinion. He put plastic over the door leading to other rooms, however a significant amount of dust made it throughout the other rooms. I had to clean this a couple times. In the outdoor space it appears he poured a couple buckets of spackle and water in the yard, areas that had just been seeded with grass and I had asked him to be careful of. To be fair, my yard is small, but still the mess could have been avoided. The site was roughly wiped down and the floor was mopped, however I still had significant piles of dust on most horizontal surfaces, walls were scuffed up and had multiple new hand prints, and the wood floor had multiple scratches and depressions from moving the fridge around. The fridge is heavy, but I have moved it in and out of that room a couple times with no damage to the floor so I know it can be done. A little more grace would have been appreciated so I didnâ t have to repair a damaged floor. He purchased some stain markers for me to help repair, but this wonâ t remove the long dented scratches. Overall, I had to spend 3 hours cleaning up excess dust, wiping down walls, and repainting (rolling out) the walls to cover up new marks (and old marks) on the walls. I think most of this could have been avoided."

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

Hiring a contractor or professional deck refinisher is the best way to ensure your deck is properly stained. They have the expertise, tools, and supplies to do the job quickly and efficiently. However, staining a deck is a manageable task for most homeowners, and doing the job yourself can save money. Just keep in mind that DIY staining is a long process requiring physical strain, so it may not be the best option for everyone.

The best temperature to paint a pool deck is between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit, because many paints and sealers require temperatures warm enough for the chemical reaction to take place for proper curing. The paint should not be allowed to freeze, and temperatures above 90 degrees can cause the paint to dry too quickly, also preventing the chemical reaction from following through to completion.

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.

Yes, you must thoroughly clean your deck before staining. If you don't, dirt, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped between the wood and the new stain. This not only looks unsightly but also prevents the stain from penetrating the wood properly, reducing its ability to protect the deck from weather and UV rays. As a result, the stain won't last as long or look as good. Any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning for the wood to dry completely before applying stain.

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.
