"R Joness painting exceeded our expectations. We worked with Hugo throughout the entire process of repainting the entire first floor of our home and our newly remodeled upstairs bathroom. He patiently adjusted the timeline and the purest scope made suggestions and offered the most competitive estimate. His crew was equally professional and hardworking. They spent a great deal of time prepping to ensure we were completely satisfied with the outcome (we had several areas that needed significant prep). They were punctual, started, and completed the work on time. Hugo was consistently on-site to check in with the crew. Truly professional and outstanding service. Will recommend R Jones and use them again in the future."

"Kathy and her team did a wonderful job painting my spare room, repairing all the holes and dings and painting the hallway cabinets and doors. They advised me on paint colors, types of paints, and were so patient with me asking questions about the job. They were kind to my dog and left the area clean when the job was finished. I am so pleased with how everything looks!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, you must thoroughly clean your deck before staining. If you don't, dirt, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped between the wood and the new stain. This not only looks unsightly but also prevents the stain from penetrating the wood properly, reducing its ability to protect the deck from weather and UV rays. As a result, the stain won't last as long or look as good. Any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning for the wood to dry completely before applying stain.

A wood deck requires annual cleaning and regular inspections for loose or broken boards, nails, and screws. It should be refinished by applying a stain or sealer every two to three years to protect the wood from water damage, rot, mildew, and sun fading. The exact frequency can depend on the climate and the deck's exposure to sun and moisture. If your deck is painted, it will need repainting approximately every 10 years. Signs that your deck needs refinishing include faded, splintering, or warping boards.

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

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. 

DIY is possible but presents risks of uneven surfaces or improper adhesion; professionals offer expertise to ensure a lasting finish.
