"Prior to selling our home it was suggested the interior be repainted. We contacted LTD and set a price and time frame which was extremely fair for both sides. All I can say is above and beyond expectations. Work was done prior to deadline and the quality was fantastic. Attention to detail, promptness, professional attitude. Job well done. Would definitely recommend and or hire again!"

"Erick is an excellent painter and carpenter with excellent skills and detail to perfection. He, along with his excellent team of Juan and Jason , were dilligent in their work and careful to make every paint stroke or mitre cut create a perfect look. The team even put in extra time and did extra work(free of charge) fixing the dents in my entry door, painting the door and replacing the door knobs . They even hung my bathroom mirror without me asking them.Erick is a very nice person, intent on making the homeowner joyful over his work and extremely satisfied about the price charged and the overall outcome. He literally aims to please in every aspect of the project and did so in my case. With his detail to perfection, exceptional skills, trustworthyness , very neat work , better than fair prices and very friendly personality - Why would you hire anybody else for your home improvement projects, of which he is proficient in many, to remodel your home? I 110 % recommend Erick to let you feel the total satisfaction of a job beautifully done @ a very fair price done within the time frame he quotes. Your happiness will be his prime concern. Phil R"

"The Cordova Painting crew was excellent! They are VERY professional and meticulous when it comes to cleanliness. We had our entire first floor interior painted including a two story foyer and great room. Cordova Painting came each day on time and ready to work. The painting and drywall results are fantastic!! They completed the job in just over 3 and half weeks and were very reasonably priced. What impressed us as well was that at the end of each day, they vacuumed and mopped our hardwood floors to clean up any dust they may have created that day. Incredible results due to their meticulous attention to detail. HIGHLY recommend Pedro and his crew!!"

"Jeremiah has done all sorts of work for us but the biggest job he did recently was painting the entire interior of our house. He did a wonderful job. He was very thorough and neat. Always punctual with excellent communication. There were certain spots that needed special attention, like cracks, which he expertly repaired. He is very pleasant and polite. Jeremiah also did some exterior painting and repairs for us. I would definitely ask Jeremiah to help us again in the future. We are looking forward to having him return this coming spring for more projects. Highly recommended!"

"I recently had my shingle roof replaced and I?m very happy with the results. The team was professional, punctual, and completed the job efficiently. The quality of the work is excellent, and the new roof looks great. They kept the work area clean and communicated well throughout the process. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a roof replacement."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

Liquid rubber is great for waterproofing, but it can damage your deck if it’s not applied correctly. First, it can trap moisture in the wood if the deck isn’t completely dry before application.  Second, applying it too thickly can create a heavy, rubbery surface layer that peels and cracks under fluctuating temperatures. For the best results, ensure the wood is completely dry before application, and apply the liquid rubber in thin, even coats. A quick inspection every now and then will help you catch any issues early, keeping your deck protected and looking its best.

Wood stain is not flammable after it dries. The solvent in wood stain is what causes the liquid form to be highly flammable, but the stain drying process involves the solvents dissolving, which leaves behind a non-flammable product on your wood project. Wood stain is, however, flammable before you apply it, so you should always store partially full cans and used wood stain rags away from sources of heat and open flames.

Here's the deal with leaving used rags covered in oil-based stain lying around in a pile: Depending on the conditions, these rags can take just an hour or up to a few days to combust. The source of ignition is caused by trapped heat that can be compounded if the rags are near a heat source.
