"Over the course of the last year Grady Jones Paint has worked for me on (3) different occasions to repaint our home interior. The scope of work included scraping the popcorn ceilings, flattening them and then repainting them; repainting all of the walls; painting our cabinetry; and, finally, staining the exposed woodwork on our deck. Clee was very responsive and visited the project every time his workers were on site. Tim and Eddie made up the crew who did the work. They were amicable, professional, courteous and did a GREAT job. I plan to use Grady Jones Paint for any future work and recommend them to anyone in need of a paint contractor."

"David Silva was quick to respond to an inquiry and came out twice prior to doing the job, first to provide a quote, second to review paint/finish selections. He and his crew finished a job early and were able to come out sooner than expected and got the entire job done in less time they had anticipated. Everyone was very professional and cleaned up after the job was finished, even mopped all the floors. David is very professional and knowledgeable. I would definitely hire him again."

"Mr. Evans and his team were upfront with their pricing, what I should expect during and after the exterior painting and were accessible via phone and email. The power washing team carefully removed my front port cha-cha so they could do a more detailed job - thanks. We were unsure of the stain we should apply on our front porch concrete and our wooden stairs, Mr. Evans provided suggestions. We defaulted to his opinion - we've received multiple compliments from our family and neighbors. We had four estimates, the others were very polite but the Evans team delivered.

"H&M Contractor did a fantastic job on some exterior touchup painting that I needed. I have hired them again for a couple more jobs that I need done to the house. I highly recommend them. They do great work for a great price and are very communicative and prompt. Can't really ask for anything more."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Deck staining or painting safeguards wood against the elements through its protective layer, enhancing decay resistance, prolonging structural integrity, and improving visual appeal.

It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the deck refinishing process. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.

Always sand a deck before repainting so the wood is smooth and ready for paint. While you do not need to fully remove paint before repainting, sanding helps remove any areas with weather and sun damage. Sanding also helps remove chipped or flaking paint and opens the wood pores to improve paint adhesion.

Whitewashing isn’t permanent, but it can last for a long, long time. When you apply it correctly or have a seasoned pro whitewash your brick, whitewashing can last for 20 to 30 years or longer. Whitewash is very durable and typically requires little maintenance, making it a great project for most DIYers.

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.
