"Sandy and Junior did an outstanding job painting my house in the hottest days of summer. He was also the best price of several bids. He recommended an excellent brand of paint (in his best price) that other companies did not even discuss. It was so hot, that Sandy forgot to paint a couple of places, but responded quickly when I pointed that out. He also urged me to call him if I found anything else that didn't make me completely happy. Sandy is also very honest, which is very important as he wanted 35% deposit up front when I signed the contract, however, he agreed to wait until the day he started before getting a deposit from me. I have to admit, I was very uncomfortable paying someone in advance as lots of people get burned that way, and in fact, we are often cautioned to never pay in advance. However, I can understand workers needing to get paid before the very end of a project--especially if it takes several days of hard labor to get it done. So, I did give him the deposit up front, and I must say that he earned it and finished the project before asking for the rest of the money. He also pressure washed the house and driveway and sealed cracks and sanded. It was good value for the money!"

"Highly recommend!! I researched several construction contractors for 2 months prior to relocating into our home, and I am truly grateful I made the decision to hire A+ Custom Remodeling, LLC, to manage the various and multiple tasks I knew I wanted completed. A+ Custom Remodeling, LLC. did not disappoint as a general, multi-tasking contractor. If Mr. Roman Mcbrayer (owner and founder) could not complete a task himself, he knew exactly who to contact to get the job done in a timely manner. I hired A+ Custom Remodeling, LLC. for the following: * Repaint the interior walls of my home. * Install a backyard fence. * Install electrical work, to include additional outlets in & out of the home. * Install a utility sink in our laundry room. * Install an elevated, extended concrete driveway with building pad. * Instrumental in delegating an A/C repairman to service our air conditioner. * And our biggest project - Convert an open wooden deck into a large 2-tier, enclosed porch with covered grill station. Not only was Mr. Mcbrayer knowledgeable and professional, but his crew was just as professional, respectful and very hard-working, possessing the abilities and knowledge to complete any task successfully with excellent communication skills as a team. Their strength and stamina to endure peak-summer heat temperatures with every project they were asked to execute was phenomenal. More importantly, Mr. Mcbrayer (A+ Custom Remodeling, LLC.) can keep track of everything going on and sets priorities to get things done very efficiently and effectively. A reliable and skilled business owner who ensures completed projects quickly with great results."

"They did a fantastic job! The deck is in good shape, but had never been sealed or stained. Therefore, some mold had gotten on it and it just needed to be stopped before it got any worse. They cleaned it very thoroughly and all the mold is gone! Their communication was awesome as well.
They are coming back in a week to paint our front door and shutters, and then coming in early October to seal our deck. We look forward to future projects with them as well!
Would recommend them to anyone!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. 

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must. 

The best type of paint for concrete exterior surfaces like concrete porches, steps, or walkways is high-quality exterior-grade paint with strong weather resistance. Acrylic latex blends with tiny anti-slip particles will help create an anti-slip coating for your concrete porch. This type of paint will stand up best to the elements, especially rain, snow, and ice. An exterior epoxy will also help strengthen your concrete porch.

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.
