Customers say: True professional

"Painting and so much more! Ernesto and his crew built our new composite deck for us. They handled everything--tear out and disposal of the old deck and construction of the new deck from the foundation up. It has transformed our back yard. They also rebuilt our wooden privacy fence with the same quality workmanship. We could not be happier with the work they have done for us and we will definitely be using them again in the future. We found out about Ernesto from another family who had him handle a major deck construction project, and that turned out beautifully. After seeing this we called Ernesto for a bid, and within a couple of weeks we were enjoying our new deck. If you're considering a deck or fencing project I highly recommend Ernesto and his crew. They are professional, prompt and they complete their work on time and on budget."

"Dustin and his team were EXCELLENT! He was a great communicator and always replied quickly to any question that I had. He showed up every day and they always worked for a full day! They began and finished the project in the promised time frame. When there were changes to the project he adjusted the needed materials list and his team adjusted to the scope of the project without spiking the cost of the bid. The finish product was FANTASTIC! I would hire him again for any project that we are working on! (His team did demolition of 700sqft, framing, insulation of cinderblock walls, textured and smooth sheetrock installed and finished.)"

"I hired Brandon in March 2019 to do the contracting for a complete kitchen remodel on my 1960’s era home. The job included a complete rewire of the kitchen/dining room, moving plumbing, adding insulation and new drywall, tearing out the floors down to the subfloor, new French doors, the list goes on. All of his subcontractors did excellent work and I am beyond happy with the job they did. Brandon did an even better job of keeping everything on budget. When I get ready to redo the bathrooms I’ll be calling Wilson Home Services again."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

The best exterior paint for the job of painting your front porch depends on the material you’ll be painting. Acrylic paint is often recommended for a wooden porch as it’s durable and easy to apply. If your porch is made of concrete, you’ll need to find a formula suited to that material.

Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint. 

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the deck refinishing process. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.

It’s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that’s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat.
