"Very pleasant and polite. Careful to not bring in dirt from outside,my yard is dirrt,on my floors. Installed 3 heavy curtain rods from home depot and disposed of the boxes and old rods for me. Also changed out a garbage disposal for me. They figured out the problem with the old one, bad seal at the sink, offered to just fix that to save me $ but I decided to have them change it anyway. Again all cleaned up after and offered to dispose of it for me but I needed the old one for warranty return. Excellent repair work and easy to work with. Kept in touch about arrival time. Would call again if and when I need something else done."

"Jeff does great work from start to finish. He listened and understood the changes we wanted. He researched the most economical way to obtain the desired results without jeopardizing quality.
Jeff was able to build the indoor slide for the children's area by simply looking at a picture. He also made sure that every aspect of the slide was safe for the children to play on.
His finish work is excellent! We were especially pleased with the new offices and conference room. We couldn't ask for better sheetrock, mud, tape and texturing.
Jeff is a hard worker. He is punctual and has no problem staying late until the job is done.
My husband and I plan to use him for finish work on our cabin.

"We are remodeling an older house and needed someone to re-trim our 2500 square foot home. Reusing some of the old trim and supplementing it with new, Josh was able to make our windows really shine. He showed up to the job site on time and did a fantastic job. He also stepped in and help out wherever there was a need. Prepping the facia board for new wire to be run by cutting a 6 inch swatch all around the house. Josh has a great positive attitude and has been a pleasure to work with.

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

You don’t necessarily have to remove all the old paint before repainting your deck, but it’s best to remove as much as possible to ensure a smooth and long-lasting finish. Prioritize scraping off loose, peeling, or flaking paint, and sand down rough areas to create a smooth surface for the new paint to bond with.

The opposite is actually true: Wood stains tend to appear lighter when they’re fully dry. However, stains may darken as they weather and oxidize with age. Stains might also darken on surfaces left in direct sunlight, as UV rays can break down pigment particles and cause them to darken over time.

Always wait until the morning dew has dried before you stain your deck. The stain needs a fully dry surface to sink into.

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.
