"This is the most professional group I have worked with on my home. They pressure washed and painted the siding and trim without any problems. The crew was a dream to work with and completely cleaned up at the end. This group will do all my painting in the future. They are a pleasure to work with and completely competent. Thanks guys."

"I commissioned a custom cutting board through Josh took the time to reach out to me to ensure I got the cutting board I wanted. He was upfront with the build time and cost. It arrived earlier than expected. When I opened the package I could tell that this wasn't your average cutting board. This is an heirloom quality piece that will last longer than me. My kids will have to fight over who gets this incredible piece of art. If you are a foodie or like to cook, his cutting boards will serve you well. I can't thank Josh enough for tha attention to detail in his work and the amazing communication. Thank you Josh, looking forward to working with you again!!!"

"Hired this painter to paint multiple rooms as well as my cabinets. Her quote was fair and much much cheaper than most painters I looked at and her work was much better. You would think you would have to pay an arm and a leg to get excellent work now days. I got the feeling she was just out to do a good job and not rip off her client at the same time. I was thoroughly pleased with her attention to detail and perfectionism in the final product. Would highly recommend her to anyone if they are looking for a revamp of their home because she will make it look as good as hers is what it felt like to me."

"Johnathan did an excellent job at explaining how the project was going to be done, ensuring the fence would look as recommended. His and Sean’s work turned out great, and they were able to complete a large job (215 ft) quickly even with dealing with massive tree roots. Couldn’t have expected a better result, and will be hiring again shortly for deck and stair work."

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.

Choosing the best color for your home exterior should factor in longevity as well as your personal taste. To keep your house looking newly painted as long as possible, stay away from red paint. Although red homes pop and are quintessential for country-style barns, red paint tends to fade fastest in the sun. Go with earth tones if you want paint that best resists fading.

Liquid rubber is great for waterproofing, but it can damage your deck if it’s not applied correctly. First, it can trap moisture in the wood if the deck isn’t completely dry before application.  Second, applying it too thickly can create a heavy, rubbery surface layer that peels and cracks under fluctuating temperatures. For the best results, ensure the wood is completely dry before application, and apply the liquid rubber in thin, even coats. A quick inspection every now and then will help you catch any issues early, keeping your deck protected and looking its best.
