"I was incredibly impressed with the professionalism and responsiveness of Pro Painters Plus. I needed my deck re-finished within a certain time frame to comply with my community's association regulations. Mike and his crew were able to work with my schedule and complete the job promptly and with incredibly high quality. The deck looks great, and I would highly recommend Pro Painters Plus."

"Fabiano was a pleasure to work with. He was punctual when showing up to provide an estimate and to the project itself. He gave me accurate time lines and updates in real time when fixing my deck. After comparing 4 other contractors to replace my deck, Fabiano gave the best quote with no surprises and the estimate was spot on! I would absolutely recommend Fabiano for your next project"

"Prior to having Dan come out I received several quotes from other contractors listed on Angie's List, but I was not comfortable with their proposals and level of painting knowledge.  After meeting Dan, I felt completely confident that he understood what I was looking to do with the job and was willing to ensure that I would be happy with the results after the job was completed.  Although his bid was not the lowest, I decided to move forward with Dan due to his knowledge, customer focus and willingness to back up his work with a 3 year warranty.

We arranged a start time, and his team was right on schedule.  His work leader, John, met with me before getting started and detailed what would be done each day and the approximate timeline.  John is a professional who has been painting a long time and knows the difference between the right way and the quick, easy way.  At every stage of the process, I felt completely comfortable that the crew knew what they were doing and would make sure the job was done right. 

Due to some rainy and windy conditions, it took about 2 weeks to get the entire job completed.  We did encounter some small issues along the way, but after speaking with Dan all of my concerns were addressed and corrected quickly and fairly.  Dan's only concern was my complete satisfaction with the work, and this was evident in every conversation. 

My house looks incredible now, and I would recommend Dan and his crew to anyone who is looking for a professional team that gets the job done the right way.

"We would highly recommend R Jones Painting to anyone. They painted all of our houses in November 2022. They did a fabulous job and were very friendly, and professional. They provided us with a complimentary color consultation with a color expert who helped us pick paint for all of the rooms. The consultant was great, professional, knowledgeable, and also very friendly. Apart from being very thorough painting, they did extra things that they did not charge us for they fixed a tube that was loose on the washing machine when they painted the laundry room, they fixed a loose railing, and a French door that was scraping the floor in one of the rooms. They also painted our front door at no additional cost. We have three young children who managed to get the walls dirty after they were already painted while the Hugos team was still there. They fixed all of them at no extra cost. Our son had Pokemon stickers all over the walls in his room. It was a lot to take down so we told them not to worry about trying to save them, and that they could just take them down and throw them away. After they were done with his room we noticed that they removed all the stickers, and placed them neatly on our sons bed frame. They helped us move the furniture and made sure nothing got damaged in the process. Apart from painting all the rooms they also painted built-ins in the living room and they turned out beautifully. They came early every morning and worked hard all day. Hugo was at the site every day supervising and working with the crew. He was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. He provided us with valuable advice, for example on how the ceiling in the foyer should be painted. He was always eager to address any questions and concerns and always asked for our opinion. He also told us how to store the leftover paint to prolong its life. They completed the work on time, within the time frame they provided us before they started, without sacrificing the quality of their work. When they left our children kept asking when the nice painters are coming back and were devastated to learn that they were done. We highly recommend R Jones Painting, and will only be using them for future projects - they are the best!"

Customers say: Quality work

"We are thrilled with the work we had done. Marlon wallpapered a high wall (cathedral ceiling) and it came out perfectly. The seams are invisible and the pattern is matched perfectly, even on the light switches he covered. Marlon also caulked and painted in our den and that job is also outstanding. He will be doing other work for us in the future."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.

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. 

It’s a good idea to sand your porch before painting. This will remove loose or chipped paint and debris, and give you a cleaner surface so that your new paint goes on smoothly. But if the existing surface is in good condition, it’s not necessary to sand your porch before you paint.

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.

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.
