Q: How do I maintain a desk after assembly?

• <div>Regularly check and tighten screws, avoid excessive weight, and clean surfaces with appropriate materials to prevent damage.</div>

Q: Can I DIY?

• <div>Yes, you can tackle small rooms yourself if you're handy and have a flat, clean subfloor to work with. But seams must be sealed properly, or the barrier will fail. Any gaps will let moisture sneak through and defeat the purpose of installing this more expensive type of carpet padding. For larger rooms or areas, professional installation is usually worth the extra cost.</div>

Q: What is wood filler?

• <div>Wood filler is used to fix imperfections or damaged interior sections of wood on items like cabinets, door frames, and even laminate floors or countertops. It contains wood byproducts like sawdust mixed with water or solvent, which helps bind to wood and dry pretty quickly.</div>

Q: How long does it take to refinish a table?

• <div>It takes the average person four to eight days to refinish a table. This sounds long, but the work time is only two to 10 hours. If you have prior experience, each step, including dipping, stripping, sanding, staining, painting, and sealing, can take just 30 minutes to complete. The wait time between each step results in a longer total time. </div>

Work was done well. Final product was of good quality. My issue was more with how he treated his employee. Treat everyone nice, and do not make disparaging comments about your employee to the customer. If you want a good tub refinishing then he does a good job. I would not rehire.

Stanley Steemer did a good job, not exceptional, but a good job. They move all the furniture and put it back when done. They put something underneath the heavier furniture to protect it. The person who did the job was very nice. They were real efficient.

"We recently hired Urbinas to paint our front door and wouldn't recommend them. Ulysses came out to paint the door only to tell us that he wasn't able to paint a door that wasn't hung in the doorway and asked us to get our contractor to hang the door and install the hardware before painting. After having the door installed Ulysses and his father painted the door but forgot to paint the top and bottom of the door which voided our warranty with the door company. The door company came out and asked if we had hired someone who was licensed and bonded because the work didn't reflect someone who follows the Painting and Decorating Contractors of America standards. When we asked for a refund Ulysses blamed us saying we should have told him to paint the top and bottom and we are now left with a door that is now out of warranty and have to pay for another licensed and bonded painter to fix the mistake."
