"Mr. Jones and his crew did a great job on painting our home. They showed up on time, were professional and did an excellent job both inside and out. I would highly recommend them to anyone and will definitely be using them again in the future for any other paint jobs we may have."

"I met David Silva over 10 years ago and have not picked up a paint brush since. David and his crew have painted every room in my house and some rooms even twice. One simple word comes to mind when describing David’s work, perfection. Every job was complete to perfection from the plastic that’s laid from the front door to each room, paint and even clean up. I’ve referred Silva Painting (David) to many coworkers/friends and all were more than satisfied with his team’s quality of work. I highly recommend David Silva and his crew for their excellent work."

"Dave & his crew were on time for both days and got the job done really well and fast.  They did an excellent job on all six rooms they painted.  We are really happy with all the work they did and how professional they all were.  We will definitely use them again.

"Great job! Paz submitted a thorough and professional quote of a reasonable amount. Other bids were more and less. His was the one I felt best about. He was accurate in fulfilling my requests and Andreas and Tony were excellent workers and of a great attitude...a joy to have on our property. The carpentry crew that redid the screen was good, too....just didn't get their names. They did great job, cleaned up after each day and took all debris away. Very good experience and I highly recommend Paz and his crew!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Constant exposure to inclement weather conditions can damage your deck, causing it to fade, warp, or crack over time. Regular maintenance keeps it looking and performing its best. That means giving it a good cleaning and applying a quality sealant or wood treatment to help defend against moisture, sun damage, and everyday wear.

If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.

You don't need to seal your deck after painting it because most exterior paints are waterproof and weather-resistant. While stealing is not necessary, it can add an additional layer of protection.

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.
