"This company did a very good job painting my rooms, but they have to come back to finish installing my door. It was not done correctly the first time. They haven't done a lot of work for me, but they were very professional, on time and polite in my home. I did find them a bit pricey for the service that they provided but they do provide all of the materials which helps the customer a lot."

Process went great.

Very quick for the estimate, which originally included my Painting and also Power Washing and Staining my Deck. The owner revised my estimate quickly when I asked him to remove the deck from the proposal.

They came out the day before to prep the area and were able to finish most of the work.  I was unable to have anyone at the house that day to allow the front door to remain open to dry.  They came back the following week to paint the front door.

everything cme out great and I would definitely hire them the next time that I need painting done.

"This is not the first nor will it be the last time we call Bob DiMenna.     He is responsive; meticulous, customer focused at all times -always assuring that the date; time is convenient to begin job.    Our siding especially on second level needed attention.   Bob really did a great job of powerwashing both levels.    Looks like new......will be an annual event.............
Will be calling him for staining deck in the fall."

"I decided to replace all of the drywall in my 1st floor bathroom. It had some uneven spots on the walls from nails poking out from the drywall and several water stains on the ceiling from accidents (Grandsons) in the 2nd floor bathroom. I went on Angie's List to look for highly rated contractors and foound JA Drywall. I called them last Thursday and Juan answered the phone. I told him what I thought I needed done and asked for an estimate. He came out later that afternoon and we discussed the work. He gave me three options for the work and the price for each. I decided to go work the complete removal of all the existing drywall (Ceiling and walls) in the room, istallation of green board throughout and all spackling and sanding for a ready to paint finish.Agreed price was $800.00.  He agreed to start the following Monday.
   Monday morning his crew arrived and in less than 2 hours had removed all existing drywall and completely cleaned up the space. They then pointed out several framing issues in the room and agreed to stop work and allow me to correct these problems with a promise to returnwhen I was ready.
Tuesday morning I completed the corrections to the framing adding a couple of studs and better securing several others. I called Juan around Noon and he agreed to send his crew back the next day.
Wednesday morning thru to his word the crew arrived and within a couple of hours the room was completely rerocked and ready for taping. They called the taper and within an hour he was at the house applying the 1st layer of tape a spackle.
As agreed he came again Thursday and Friday morning and completed the spackling and sanding each time completely cleaning up after his work. The f
nished product looks great.   I need to ppoint out that everone connected with this company was friendly, polite and very professional. Yhey covered all areas with clean tarps and vacuumed all areas near where they worked.
I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for this kind of service. They were prompt, neat and very professional refusing payment until all work was completed. A great experience.

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths

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.

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

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.

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.
