"Andres and the entire Hernandez painting team did a fabulous job on our project. We had them paint the exterior of our home to a dramatically different color, and also paint/stain interior trim and baseboards. They are meticulous and very detail oriented. They prep each area thoroughly to ensure things are done extremely well and will not require additional work. For enameling some closet and bedroom doors and baseboards, they built an enclosed tent in our garage to spray things beautifully while protecting the area. For the very few small examples where touch up and refinements were needed, Andres and the team welcome and encourage feedback to ensure you are completely satisfied. They are efficient and do a terrific job. Andres (the owner) was at our job site each and every day of the project. This type of owner/operator model is what I truly love in working with a home service provider. Owners care and ensure a terrific job is done. Andres certainly fits that description and more."

"We had our kitchen cabinets and all of the upstairs rooms painted, and the results were fantastic. They had great attention to detail and the cabinets have the finish I was looking for. The crew was professional, reliable, and kept everything clean throughout the project. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality painting work!"

"Initial consultation was with Amy and my husband. Since I wasn't sure
what styles were discussed in my absence, she quickly emailed me
pictures of a few different options. I made multiple changes before the
install date, and Amy took it all in stride. When it came to the first
day of work, the demo guy came out to check out our existing chain link.
Apparently it was more work than he thought and had to reschedule to
come out a couple days later when he had more time. Due to a
miscommunication and misunderstanding (we said we would take care of
disposal of the old fence and they thought it meant we would entirely
remove and dispose the old fence and then I didn't read the quote well
enough to notice that they did not include removal in the price), it
took a little bit longer than expected. No big deal, that's on us to
more clearly communicate and read better!
Once the old fence was
taken out and the posts were set, the fence was up in little more than a
day. The guy who put it up was SO fast, he motivated the other
contractor we had building our deck. Wish I would have known that
Artistic could have built that, too, because we would have loved to have
that up in two days as well!
Any issues or concerns I had in the
process, I just called and talked to Mary in the office and she sorted
everything out. I would highly recommend this company to anyone and
everyone. All of our neighbors have come over to tell us how much they
love our fence!

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Liquid rubber is great for waterproofing, but it can damage your deck if it’s not applied correctly. First, it can trap moisture in the wood if the deck isn’t completely dry before application.  Second, applying it too thickly can create a heavy, rubbery surface layer that peels and cracks under fluctuating temperatures. For the best results, ensure the wood is completely dry before application, and apply the liquid rubber in thin, even coats. A quick inspection every now and then will help you catch any issues early, keeping your deck protected and looking its best.

Various kinds of substances and deck preservatives act as protective coatings for wood to prevent rot, which is caused by water getting into the wood and creating cracks and splits. Stains, paints, and sealants are the three best options to protect your wood, but there are also oils, varnishes, and waxes available. You’ll need to reapply sealant at least once per year, and you should inspect your wood deck regularly to look for signs of damage or general wear and tear.

You can paint over old paint on a concrete porch. For the best results, you should first clean the surface and remove as much paint as you can. A power washer is helpful here, but you’ll also want to scrape as much of the old paint away as possible. Then you should prime the porch before repainting it.

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.

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.
