"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 want to avoid excessively hot or humid conditions, so it’s best to apply your stain in late spring to early fall. It's also important to watch the weather forecast and aim for days when there isn’t rain expected for at least three days. For new decks, allow the wood to season beforehand for at least four to eight weeks.

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.

You should seal your deck every one to two years, but you’ll also need to clean and repair your wood deck throughout the seasons. You may want to hire a local house cleaning service to sweep and clean the deck thoroughly. These cleaning services cost around $50 per hour.

Inspect your deck at least once a year, and if you notice any damage or rot, expect to spend about $10 to $50 for simple DIY fixes or about $2,000 for professional repairs on more extensive damage.

Yes, it is important to wash your deck before painting to ensure the paint applies well and adheres properly. While you don't have to use a pressure washer, it is one of the most efficient cleaning methods. Pressure washing can quickly remove dirt, wood fibers, and flaked paint, getting deeper into the wood than manual scrubbing. You can also clean the deck with a stiff broom and a cleaning solution. Regardless of the method, a clean surface is essential for good paint adhesion. Make sure the deck is completely dry before applying any paint.

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.
