"Eric takes his time to insure that the prep work is done right. He is careful and very knowledgeable about his craft. He did our trim and shutters that had not been painted in 14 years as well as the old garage door. This required a lot of sanding, scraping and re puttying the windows and doors. They now look almost brand new especially the garage door. His prices are very competitive and much better than the big paint consolidating chains. We will have him back to refinish our kitchen cabinets. You can trust Eric to do a first class job."

"The team at DJ Painting, LLC were great! I got several other quotes and they were the least expensive, even considering what was included. The workers were polite and quiet, as we were home while the work was being performed. Everything was cleaned up afterwards like they were never there. They also left the extra materials (paint) for us to keep for future use. Other quotes did not include the paint, I was responsible for paying for it myself. They went above and beyond what they had to do. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend them to my friends and family."

"Ever was great, he was able to give me a quote that made sense for my outdoor painting job on our whole home. It was a mixed project between metal siding, brick and a wood retaining wall but he recommended the right paints and didnt cut corners. There was an issue with the paint store mixing the full gallons that didnt match the sample we had used and Ever took the lead to make sure we got what we agreed upon. I will use him again in the future and recommend him as a painter to all of my friends."

"They were incredibly responsive and professional in getting the job done on time. We gave them a tight timeline and they finished ahead of schedule. We had our entire home interior painted so it was not a small job, was very pleased with the end result. Leo was very communicative and readily available until job was complete. Would definitely recommend and plan to use them again for exterior."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

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.

It’s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that’s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat. 

It’s often best to spray on deck sealer. Sprayers can apply sealant more quickly and evenly than rolling while still enabling you to reach tight spaces. When using a sprayer, always use a low-pressure setting at a close distance to ensure an even application. Avoid using sprayers on windy days.

Staining pressure-treated wood is a recommended practice. While inherently resilient, it's not impervious to moisture and UV exposure. Staining treated wood is feasible and recommended for enhanced protection and longevity. Applying stain and sealant safeguards against degradation, prolonging its life span. These measures shield the wood from environmental threats while augmenting its aesthetic appeal, ensuring your investment endures the test of time.
