"Herb and his crew are wonderful. We are very happy with the results, and their courteousness and professionalism! They also gave a closet back to me because the previous owners had built a box (perhaps for an aquarium) into the wall that backed into a closet. After they were through, the wall and closet were perfectly restored. We will be hiring them again to paint the outside of the house!"

"Omar and his crew did much more work than interior painting, I could only submit 1 answer. They professionally prepped and painted the exterior of my very big,- very old Folk Victorian home, they removed and replaced my attic insulation, replaced entire house ceiling with shiplap, added a new exterior door to access my utility room, installed new kitchen counter tops, butcher block island top, brick back splash, new kitchen sink, and much more. These guys are extremely talented, they stayed on schedule the entire project. The attention to detail is admirable! Omar is a man of his word and was always willing to go the extra mile every single time I threw a change or update to the plan! I highly and confidently recommend Omar and his crew for any project no matter how big or small."

"We had a long stretch of fence replaced. James Siegert was a pleasure to work with and we will definitely use again for future projects. The crew tore down the old fence and hauled it away. When the new construction was complete the area was cleaned. We also had the new fence stained. For some reason this app won't let me download pictures (says the file is too large), but it is beautiful. Claudia and David Allen"

"We hired VJ painting to paint the entire interior of a house we bought in Brenham, Texas. Victor also removed existing cabinets and wall paneling, prepared the sheet rock before he did painting. His work also included some finished carpentry work, which was excellent. My wife and I were very pleased with his crews work and would definitely hire them for additional work in the future."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

You’ll need to wait until the surface is completely dry, which can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours under optimal conditions. The waiting period depends on several factors, including the type of siding and the weather conditions. Trying to paint before the surface is completely dry can trap moisture under the paint, leading to bubbling, blistering, and mold growth.

Staining a deck is typically less expensive upfront than painting. The cost to stain a deck professionally averages around $850, with most homeowners paying between $550 and $1,250, depending on the deck's size. A DIY staining project can cost less than $100. The cost to paint a deck ranges from $500 to $2,000. While the initial cost of staining is lower, it's important to consider long-term expenses. Paint can last up to 10 years, whereas stain needs to be reapplied every few years, which could lead to higher costs over time.

Wood stain is not flammable after it dries. The solvent in wood stain is what causes the liquid form to be highly flammable, but the stain drying process involves the solvents dissolving, which leaves behind a non-flammable product on your wood project. Wood stain is, however, flammable before you apply it, so you should always store partially full cans and used wood stain rags away from sources of heat and open flames.

Pressure-treated wood lasts at least 10 years, but with the right care and treatment, it can last as long as 40 years. Painting the boards is one way to increase the lifespan of pressure-treated wood. The layer of paint provides extra protection for the wood against the exterior elements and insects.

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.
