"Cliff was able to remodel our front sitting room into a whiskey room. The project included custom bar, shelving, lighting, window treatments as well as focal wall. The shelving was a beautiful combination of stain and torched wood. Cliff was able to adapt to the changing vision as the project was evolving to surpass the original vision. Highly recommend!"

"Excellent! Very professional, hand painted everything in heavy coat of top quality paint. price quote included paint and they brought color charts to me to help choose and gave me counsel on what types of paints would be best for our particular needs. They had the challenge of painting, wood, fiberglass columns, composite decking and a spiral metal staircase. They prepped quickly and effectively and painted everything expertly by hand. Even painting the underside of the metal stairs when I did not even ask for that. Carlos also scrambled atop the house and painted our large, metal chimney stack which had worn back down to exposed metal. These men worked very hard for us."

"I have hired JP Cortes Painting off and on for 4 years for my home projects (painting a large deck, a concreate front porch, power washing projects). I never had them do any inside painting project, but would not hesitate to have them do it when/if needed. They are very profesional, do exceptional quality work, clean up after the work is done, are honest, friendly, the price is right, and true to their word/contract. I have also noticed over the 4 years, they have very little or no turnover of employees. Call them! You will be impressed. Best regards!"

"Mario Ramirez and his crew are the utmost professional and efficient painting/drwyall contractor we’ve ever experienced. Our upstairs HVAC leaked condensation down into the primary bedroom, leaving a couple of water stains on our ceiling. After the HVAC was repaired, we hired M&J and we are so thankful we did. They also repaired a noticeable ceiling seam in the same room, and there is no longer any evidence of either. There are several aspects of their work we can compliment but my favorite is how well they protected the space. We only moved small furniture directly below the water stains while all other furnishings remained as is. They also protected flooring from our front door to the bedroom, leaving no trace of their presence or repair work. This level of care speaks volumes on their dedication to exemplary work and respect towards the customer. Cherry on top is their more than fair pricing. Their work exceeded expectations!"

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.

The opposite is actually true: Wood stains tend to appear lighter when they’re fully dry. However, stains may darken as they weather and oxidize with age. Stains might also darken on surfaces left in direct sunlight, as UV rays can break down pigment particles and cause them to darken over time.

The longevity of paint on wood depends on factors like the quality of the paint, surface preparation, exposure to elements, and maintenance. Exterior paint on wood surfaces can last 5 to 15 years or more with proper care and maintenance. Interior paint tends to have a longer life span, often 10 years or more. Regular cleaning, touch-ups, and addressing any issues like peeling or cracking can extend the life of the paint. 

Choose based on climate, finish preference (glossy, matte), and durability. Tailored coatings also provide longevity.

A five-gallon bucket of deck stain will cover roughly 875 square feet in a single coat. Actual coverage will vary based on the type of wood you’re staining and the number of coats. If you plan on doing multiple coats, multiply the square footage by the number of coats to calculate how many buckets of stain you’ll need.
