"David Harris Painters did superb work at our home. Excellent repair carpentry and painting. They were highly professional and showed great craftsmanship and attention to detail.  They obviously wanted to do the best job possible, not just get the job done. We are very satisfied and would certainly use David Harris again.

The project on a whole went relatively smoothly for the most part . However, when it came to sheetrock and spackle time, that is when we starting to see a change quality. There is a soffit above our shower which had to be completely rebuilt and the front corner was far from a corner. it was very inferior, very rough looking. I could have done a better corner. When I asked her to fix it the next day, her once pleasant attitude suddenly changed. So in the coming few days as Jess continued to spackle the rest of the bathroom, I continued to noticed many areas that were rough and should be sanded and re-spackled. When I came home one day to complete paint covering all the bumps, ripples, imperfections in the spackle I was quiet surprised and troubled. When we asked Jess about this she said we should have said something before she painted, now she has to sand re-spackle, re-prime and re-paint.

We did say something!

after a couple months of looking at the less than perfect spackle and paint job, we contacted Jess again to please come fix this for us. Basically she tried to tell us that it isn't her work that is inferior and it has 2 months so her job here is done. She did not come back to correct to correct the imperfections in the inferior spackling job and we have to live with the very unsightly walls or hire someone else to correct it.

The other complaints are when the base molding was installed, the finish nails were too long and it scratched across the entire bottom of our pocket door. Also, the threshold that was installed came loose and didn't cover the end of the tile.

All in all, the small things make a large difference, we had plenty of work for Jess, but we would NOT contract her again !!!

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

Yes, it is important to wash your deck before painting to ensure the paint applies well and adheres properly. While you don't have to use a pressure washer, it is one of the most efficient cleaning methods. Pressure washing can quickly remove dirt, wood fibers, and flaked paint, getting deeper into the wood than manual scrubbing. You can also clean the deck with a stiff broom and a cleaning solution. Regardless of the method, a clean surface is essential for good paint adhesion. Make sure the deck is completely dry before applying any paint.

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.

No, you don't need to stain Ipe decking, although you can if you want to change the color. You will, however, need to apply a UV coating if you don't want the natural color to fade. Speak to a deck staining specialist near you to discuss the best options if you want to stain your decking. And remember that you’ll need to seal your Ipe wood deck annually to protect it from scratches and Mother Nature.

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.
