"Friendly painted our entire home-remodel job, including trim and outside decks. It was an extensive job. Their price was terrific, and their effort and quality even better. They are honest, responsible, responsive, and capable. We would use them again in an instant, and could not give them a higher recommendation."
"Billy and his crew did an incredible job. I needed help painting over an extremely dark color - I was worried about the white not being able to cover the dark color. The crew had to do three coats, but it looks amazing and you would never know the walls use to be very dark. I am very happy with the work they did! Thank you!"
"I was worried about hiring an outside company to paint and to pay 1/2 upfront. JOSE CHAVEZ assured me he was trustworthy.we shook hands. At the end of the job we hugged. He gave me an excellent job. He was careful nothing was ruined. His crew did more than what was required. I will hire Jose Chavez next time."
"Did an excellent job re-staining our lengthy fence. Cleaned, prepped, applied 2 coats and it looks great. Good pricing. Will be hiring again for future projects."

"Hugo is great to work with and does an excellent job. I will always use them because they are super clean in our high end business. I have had them paint interior, exterior, and staining. I highly recommend them for any paint needs."
"These guys were very prompt and fast at their job. They were way cheaper than the other estimates I got from other people too without sacrificing quality. They did the job thoroughly and well. My house looks amazing now! I am so happy with the work and will use them in the future and refer them to anyone else that needs them."
"Jack and his brother did a very efficient repair and paint job inside my house. They came on time, were very thorough, put drapes everywhere to protect what needed to be protected, and left no mess. I would highly recommend them."
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.
Here's the deal with leaving used rags covered in oil-based stain lying around in a pile: Depending on the conditions, these rags can take just an hour or up to a few days to combust. The source of ignition is caused by trapped heat that can be compounded if the rags are near a heat source.
Yes, it's a good idea to sand the wall with fine-grit sandpaper after spackling, especially if you plan on painting. You can do this by hand or using a sander, but the idea is to ensure the spackle is flush with the wall. Sanding will give your wall a smooth, uniform finish and help your paint and wallpaper stay put.
If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.
There’s no single paint that’s the most waterproof. Instead, there are several types of waterproof and water-resistant paints that suit different purposes. Epoxy paint, for instance, is commonly used to provide a waterproof coating to floors and decks. Masonry paint is an excellent choice for exterior walls. Meanwhile, there are waterproof acrylic paints that can be used for interior and exterior walls. It’s more about choosing the best type for what you’re painting instead of the most waterproof paint overall.
