"I recommend this company without any hesitation. I have very high standards which few people can meet. However, Jose and his team did it! I would come home after work and magically another room was painted with much attention to detail, the area absolutely clean, and my furniture/decorations back in their exact same spot. They were also very helpful in providing color suggestions. Everyone in the crew was excellent. "No" is not in their vocabulary. They even helped with carpentry. They are fair and did not nickel and dime me."

"Fantastic. Once we decided to paint, I got a job, and had a small window of time that I'd be available to be at the house. Steve said he had an immediate opening that worked perfectly with our schedules. Then, I suddenly had visitors coming into town later that week, and so Steve (Berger) double-teamed his guys to get it done before the guests arrived. The team was fantastic. Communicated well about anything they thought might be a question for me. SO professional and polite. The work is spectacular and looks great. We found quite a few pieces of wood that had rotted, and they didn't just try to bondo them -- they replaced the boards (which ended up being quite a few), and you'd never know they weren't the original build. We also had them paint a 16 x 8 shed out back and an enclosed back porch. The price was a little more than we had hoped to pay, but the quality and speed would be hard to beat. Minimal impact to any plants near the house. They worked quickly but so professionally -- all very experienced and knowledgeable painters. We can hardly believe how beautiful the house looks!"

It was truly a pleasure working with George Parks Jr. He was very respectful concerning my needs and extremely attentive to the work being done spending hours every day at the job site. He had his painters lay down an elaborate array of plastic sheeting(tarp)throughout the entire living room/dining room/den to catch debris falling from the open beam ceiling during the roof replacement. It was very effective in keeping my house clean.

Also, when rain was predicted(unexpected) George made an emergency call to the roofer on late Saturday afternoon, in order to cover the entire roof with plastic. That night it showered and George called me at least 5 times to check how things were holding up-it stayed dry.

The painters and roofers were also very friendly, seemed to enjoy their work and were competent and professional. I was able to communicate with them without any problem.

George helped a lot in choosing the right roof and picking out the proper stain colors. He was very patient. The job took only one week. End result-my old house looks terrific and I'm very pleased.

"He was great. The crew came to my house at 7am and my entire house was painted by the afternoon and it looks great. I relied on the reviews to make a decision for who to hire and I was not disappointed."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

It is not always necessary to remove old stain before restaining a deck. If the previous stain is in good condition and is compatible with the new stain, you may be able to apply a new coat after thorough cleaning. However, if the old stain is in bad condition, flaking, or peeling, it is best to remove it completely to ensure an even surface and proper adhesion for the new coat. Staining over a damaged layer can lead to an uneven finish and poor penetration. For best results, test a small area first and consult the stain manufacturer's guidelines.

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.

Hot, intense sunshine can cause your stain to dry too quickly, which could lead it to look uneven or patchy. If you’re staining the deck during hotter months, it’s best to do it in the morning or evening once the wood has had time to cool down. If you’re staining in cooler weather with less sunshine, the time of day won’t make as much of a difference.

Various kinds of substances and deck preservatives act as protective coatings for wood to prevent rot, which is caused by water getting into the wood and creating cracks and splits. Stains, paints, and sealants are the three best options to protect your wood, but there are also oils, varnishes, and waxes available. You’ll need to reapply sealant at least once per year, and you should inspect your wood deck regularly to look for signs of damage or general wear and tear.

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.
