"Jose was very professional and reassuring. He checked in with me several times during the process to make sure things were going well. They carefully and thoroughly scraped the (very bad) paint job the previous painters had done and prepared and finished a great job. I would hire them again. They came in at a good price and didn't charge me more when the job expanded a bit. They arrived on schedule and finished on time."

"AW Painting has done several jobs at my house. This time Carlos and crew repaired drywall and painted. Outside they pressure washed the patio, deck, front porch and driveway plus prepped and painted porch metal railings. As usual, workmanship is excellent and price is fair."

"Phenomenal work! I've used Rodas Services three times already and LOVE them. He power washed my deck twice now and it looked brand new each time--that's never happened with other power washers. I also hired him to power wash my siding and I actually saw him up on my roof power washing the brick on my fire place exhaust--amazing. He's also done painting for me and it was done with great attention to detail. The prices are SO reasonable and the quality of work is in a league of its own. I HIGHLY recommend."

"The finished job (a whole house repaint) is great and the cost was incredibly reasonable. Ali and his crew took care to be neat and diligent with a final product that was very well done. They even repaired drywall holes, rehung a ceiling fan, and fixed a window sill at no charge."

"Edward and his team repaired, power washed and stained our deck, stained our fence, sealed nail holes in our siding and touched up the paint on the siding. The quote was very reasonable and the work was completely quickly. Edward also took the time to answer all of my questions via email or text and performed touch-ups. I would hire this company again."

"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!"

"Mr Mendez has done countless projects in my house including interior painting and limewashing, chandelier and pendant light installation, wood panel building and installation, closet remodeling, exterior painting and deck staining, and more. He and Jose are always professional and timely. They are persistent in getting the job done right and every project they have completed in my house has been done at a high quality level. There is a reason I have gone back to them for numerous projects and recommend them to anyone in need of their own home projects. Highly recommend!"

"Antonio and his brothers did a great job. They were thorough and put in long days to get the job done quickly. They took care of details like taking our house numbers down and protecting areas from paint splatter. They replaced damaged wood. Our house looks so good now. Thank you, Antonio!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

To make sure the paint won’t bubble as you apply it, make sure to paint on a day that’s cooler than 85 degrees Fahrenheit. When the temperature is too high, the paint won’t dry evenly, which can result in bubbles forming on the surface. Another way to prevent paint from bubbling is to clean the walls, apply primer, and let everything dry completely before you begin.

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.

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.

You can use latex or acrylic paint outdoors. Although acrylic paint tends to last longer outside, it also costs more, so if you’re painting the outside of your house, for instance, latex paint is often a go-to option. However, acrylic will be your best choice if you want to spend some extra money for added durability.

For homes in areas with extreme weather, high heat, or intense sun exposure, high-quality acrylic paint is the best option. Acrylic paint is durable, resistant to both heat and cold, and provides a protective barrier with excellent UV resistance. For best results, look for acrylics that contain natural earth pigments, which are better suited for resisting sun damage. While oil-based paint is also durable, it can be prone to fading in high heat and can become too viscous to apply easily in cold temperatures. Additionally, choosing a neutral or light color like gray, beige, or white can help, as these colors absorb less heat than darker shades.
