"Felix and Tammy did an excellent job staining the entire exterior of our cedar sided home. Their work was neat, clean and professional. Pleasant and easy to work with. Highly recommend. Would definitely hire them again."
"Derek and team have been to our house twice and soon a third time. Derek came the night we moved in and gave us a quote for some urgent work. The team fit us into the schedule and knocked out one large room and a fire place. The quality of work was AMAZING. They just came back and did our dining room, entry way and three other rooms. Will have them back again in spring to finish the remainder of the house. I highly recommend their services! PS - they also do deck staining and tile. Will be inquiring about that as well."

"Great crew. Showed up on time, prepped everything properly, and left a clean, professional finish. No mess, no delays, no surprises. Will hire them again!"
"They were great. Very communicative on arrival time, with quotes, with invoicing, and did all services exactly as they said they would and as good as we hoped. They were conscientious in their work, not finishing until it was exactly right...in fact they came back again to touch up some of the deck knowing they needed a certain spot to dry longer. Overall great guys and I'm looking forward to bringing them in again for the next project."
"Dan and Tyler did an excellent job. We had them paint the fellowship hall at our church. They painted the walls and doors, installed molding around one of the doors, and replaced some ceiling tiles had were damaged. We have used Dan for other jobs around the church. He installed a new railing at the entrance to the church, installed wainscoting and painted the interior of the sanctuary. I have used him at our house. They are our go-to company for jobs around our house as well. Last year they installed a new sliding patio door in our family room. I don't bother getting other estimates from other companies. I know others will probably be higher in price and I know that Dan will do an excellent job. I recommend him highly."
From start to finish it went extremely well. Bill Boon the sales person was extremely knowledgeable very friendly and likeable. I actually had a good time with young man. He did things other sales reps. did not do he walked all over my roof looking for bad spots taking pictures going up in my attic looking to see if the decking was bad from underneath. He even came the day of the installation and went up on the roof with the roofers and looked at all the decking after all the old shingles and underlayment was removed.
The crew that did the job arrived early in the morning about 7:20 the supervisor of the crew knocked on my and introduced himself. Sendy was his name. They started in right away unloading all their equipment and worked straight through until the took a lunch break. Then went right back to work until they were done. They were likeable friendly and very professional. They did a great job with everything. Clean up was great it like they were never there. OH YES!!!!!!MY NEW ROOF LOOKS GREAT. LOVE IT.
"RMJ painting was professional, on time and very clean and careful when painting. Any concerns I had they addressed it right away. My wife and I are very happy with the results. I would hire them again and also recommend them to anyone who is looking for a Quality painting company."
"The man is gifted, painted my whole house free hand, no blue tape. Has been installing floors for me from the first floor, working our way up to the third. He is a beast. Always on time and very efficient. Gets things done quick! Would recommend him to do any job you need done at home."
"The painting was carefully done, Care was taken to have no spills, no uneven painted surfaces, and the contractor was respectful and courteous to work with. I appreciated him replacing some drywall joint tape that had come loose in two bathrooms. It’s those extra touches and helps that makes the difference. My home looks great with a fresh coat of paint! Nice work!"
Limewash and whitewash do not harm surfaces if you apply them correctly. Use on non-suitable surfaces can cause issues. For instance, applying limewash or whitewash to surfaces with existing sealants or incompatible materials may lead to poor adhesion or flaking. Also, harsh cleaning agents on limewashed or whitewashed surfaces can damage the finish. Proper preparation, application, and maintenance ensure that limewash and whitewash do not harm surfaces.
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.
For homes in areas with extreme weather, high heat, or intense sun exposure, high-quality acrylic paint is the best option. Acrylic paint is durable, resistant to both heat and cold, and provides a protective barrier with excellent UV resistance. For best results, look for acrylics that contain natural earth pigments, which are better suited for resisting sun damage. While oil-based paint is also durable, it can be prone to fading in high heat and can become too viscous to apply easily in cold temperatures. Additionally, choosing a neutral or light color like gray, beige, or white can help, as these colors absorb less heat than darker shades.
Whether you can paint over your existing paint depends on what’s on there. Most of the time, you’ll want to sand down or scrape off the paint that’s currently coating your surface. Epoxy paint, for example, won’t let new paint stick to the surface. Latex paint is more forgiving and will accept a new coat, but a primer is recommended if you’re switching colors.
Rags used with oil-based stains are highly flammable and can spontaneously combust in the right conditions. To reduce the fire risk, throw them in a metal container after use and add rocks on top to secure them. Add an inch of water and seal the container. Take the rags in the container to a hazardous waste factory as soon as possible.
