"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."

"My roof had small leaks in three separate places. After an electric company energy audit, I wasn?t sure I had insulation in the tray sections of all of my ceilings ? it glowed red in the thermal pictures.  A hail storm destroyed my roofing and I needed a roofing company that did more than just replace a roof.  I went to Angie?s List and read reviews for more than two hours.  I
selected two companies that had the best reviews.  Brandon of Weather Proofing Experts agreed to meet the insurance adjuster at my house while I was at work.  The next day I met Brandon and got a thorough estimate of the damages to my house and separate garage.  It looked like everything was covered but I needed to show him my leak concerns.  I did not have to worry.  Without stepping inside my home, he knew my concerns without me telling him AND he flipped over to his handwritten notes and there it was: roof has two dead valleys that need to be altered to push the water forward and also there is no soldered flashing to protect that area.  Put a check mark beside two of my leaks.  The second leak was around a pipe boot that we had attempted to get another roofer to repair with no good result.  Brandon could take care of it. But he did more.  He put a different cap on my dryer vent to prevent lint build up and a future fire.  He made sure that my guttering drained and changed the drainage configuration to one that would not add to possible leaks on my roof valleys and I now have flashings that I should have had with the construction of the house.   Finally he moved the turbines on my roof to the proper location to vent my attic
better.  Four turbines ? two at the highest ridge and two at two lower ridges became three turbines on the highest ridge.  I did not know that the highest turbines would pull from the closest openings to them.  The closest openings happened to be the two
lower turbines so I was really getting little to no circulation/venting of the attic air space.  No wonder thermal pictures glowed red at the outer perimeter that really was insulated because Brandon had his crews take off decking and he took pictures to show me that insulation was there ? at no cost to me and I was willing to pay to have insulation put in there! I went with a solar hide to reflect more heat and with the turbines in the right place I have a much more energy efficient roof.  Brandon even made sure that every downspout was bird proofed.  The crews were very careful with my flower beds and at the end of each day I could not even tell they had been there.  Brandon was easy to work with and looked out for my welfare. 
The second company that gave me an estimate was a well recommended company and their dollar estimate was almost exactly the same as the Experts with one exception.  They did not mention dead spots, soldered flashing, gutters with downspouts in the wrong place or turbines that were turning and doing little else for my home.  Long story shortened ? I hired Weather Proofing
Experts to replace my roof and they did not just replace it.  I got a better roof.  This was the best experience I have had with
tradesmen in NWA.  Weather Proofing Experts really are experts with integrity and that is worth a lot.

"Posting this as a referral/recommendation for Richard at CRG General Construction. We had them do: - Raise our deck 4 inches in the center (was sagging). - Replace a 10 ft. section of fence that was sagging and needed new fence posts. - Replace a 6 foot section of fence + new gate. - Power wash and stain ~250 feet of fence and our deck (8x16ft) with cosmetic touch ups to the deck (replacing handrails, balusters). Overall great job done, very responsive and done at half the price of other contractors I talked to. Only issue we ran into was rain pushing out our time to stain a couple of times in May. Would recommend for similar projects. He says they do anything interior of the house as well so give him a shout if you have a project you need help with."

"When I called Vargas Painting....."Jorge" was very professional and showed up on time as he promised. He inspected our home.....along with all of the boards. A few boards needed replacing and our home needed painting. Two days later I had his bid. His price was very fair. Jorge is very personable. He had very good ratings on this site, he provided me with his insurance verification without having to be asked. We hired him. He was great to work with us, as I had already planned a two week vacation and didn't want the house painted while I was gone. After the initial deposit (Approx 1/3 of the contract) we made arrangements for when he would start on our home. He was very accommodating. He started working on the agreed date. He power washed the house. Replaced the rotten boards, calked and sealed and scraped and finally painted. We used two different paints. We instructed him on how we wanted the painting and also asked for his professional opinion on a couple of smaller issues. He painted everything the way that we wanted. Every evening they cleaned up tarps and tools but they did ask if they could leave them behind our home. At the end of everyday Jorge communicated with us what was done that day, and what would be done the next day. Everything went so smoothly. The home was painted in a week. Jorge asked me on the final day to do a complete walk around on the house and make him a list of anything that was missed or that needed to be touched up or redone. My husband is very picky and he was very pleased with the job. We have other jobs around the house.....as we will be repainting our kitchen and bathrooms along with staining our kitchen cabinets. We intend on hiring Vargas painting again and again!"

"When I called, we set a date for July 31, 2015.  The team arrived promptly and did an excellent job, the best gutter cleaning ever.  They were polite, friendly, and efficient.  I told the young man who did the actual cleaning that my house was 500 square feet larger  than the basic charge, $139 for 2,000 sq.ft.  When they finished, the additional cost was $45, which I was quite pleased with.  They also cleaned up my deck and patio, which I particularly appreciated.  Usually it has been left in a mess, but my deck was clean and my plants survived.
Based on my experience, I would be happy to consider Risher and Sons for this and other projects.

"Jole did excellent work for us. He was punctual, courteous, and very efficient. He listened carefully to my requests and questions. He also offered thoughtful solutions and explained thoroughly how he would implement the repair. Item#1) He had called me about a week before coming to our house ask about what kind of stain we would need. Item#2) He caulked the areas we discussed and also additional spots he noticed. His attention to detail made the job turn out flawlessly. Item#3) The old hinges were no longer manufactured. He did find a hinges with a slightly smaller size screw attachments. He was able to retrofit the doors with the new hinges to work perfectly. Item#4) He was able to glue, clamp, and restore the door to its original condition. He has had experience with woodworking and furniture repair. Item #5) He removed, reversed, and re-attached the a/c intake vent door so that the latches would be easier to reach. This will make changing the filter easier and safer. He even changed out my old filter with a new one for me while doing this project! Item#6) He fixed my kitchen cabinet doors by adjusting the hinges. The doors no longer rub against each other so they open and close easily. In conclusion, we were very pleased with the quality of his work and professionalism. He was very knowledgeable and easy to work with. We would certainly hire him again for other projects/repairs and would gladly recommend him to our friends and neighbors."

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

Satin paint is generally considered a better choice for woodwork—including trim, baseboards, cabinets, and doors—than flatter finishes like eggshell or matte. Its soft sheen enhances architectural details and stands up well to frequent cleaning and daily wear. Compared to eggshell and matte finishes, satin is more durable for high-touch areas because it is less porous and doesn't absorb dirt as easily. Matte finishes, in particular, are prone to scuffs and are harder to clean, making them less practical for surfaces like doors and cabinets.

If your biggest concern is making sure your deck doesn’t show dirt, opt for a darker neutral color that blends in well with your surrounding landscape. A rich brown or dark grey are both good options that work with a variety of house colors. A high-quality acrylic paint is easy to clean and maintain, so it might be worth spending the money on.

An exterior paint job typically lasts between 5 and 10 years, though this can range from 3 to 17 years depending on several factors. The longevity is influenced by the quality of the paint and primer, the quality of the application, the local climate, and the type of surface being painted. For example, paint on wood siding may need to be redone every 3 to 7 years, while painted brick can last up to 17 years. Aluminum siding often needs repainting every 5 years.

While the answer varies based on weather, 10 a.m. is a good time to start painting. The dew will have dried, meaning there’s no moisture on the house, and the temperature will likely be moderate and the sunlight less direct. Starting mid-morning should also give you enough daylight and pleasant weather to work on the job for several hours.

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.
