"The owner Bill came to see the job in February winter time, I did interview few more companies but he was very acknowledged about my project and concerns. Called him back again mid April for a second interview and go over more details, he was very puntual with his appointment. I hire him and signed the contract he told me my deck will be finished by May 15, 2019, Well my deck was finished today May 2nd. Very happy with their work everything was cleaned very well and my deck looks just beautiful..Now need to wait couple months to stained. Will recommend 100% to family and friends. Thank you Bill..

"i desperately needed gutter cleaning the day before a major storm. I spoke with Dave initially and he worked with me to make it possible and sent out his crew by the afternoon to my house. His crew was so professional and worked very hard to make sure that all the work was done for me and they cleaned up and got rid of all the mess. This company could not have been nicer and helpful. I highly recommend them and am thankful that I found their business."

"Dan and Anthony were absolutely wonderful and accommodating to my painting needs and even gave me realistic tips on quick fixes that made a world of a difference. I’ve hired them twice now and am incredibly grateful to have them as a professional paint squad."

"We had a great experience with KBG Construction. We need the ceiling in our kitchen and dining room painted, and from beginning to end, they were great to work with. They had fast communication, gave us a reasonable quote and were able to fit us in their schedule within a week of our first outreach. The job was done quickly and in high-quality and they were even generous enough to touch up our front door with the extra paint, without being asked. We would definitely use them again for any painting needs."

"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!!"

"This company was professional, punctual, experienced, and had competitive pricing.  I contacted 5 local companies who had an A rating through Angie's List and was able to email them right through this site so it made it very easy.  Fresh Coat won the price bid and we were very pleased with their customer service.  Our main contact was Barbara and she was knowledgeable and friendly.  They set up a contract via email, and when I noticed that there were a couple of things missing from the contract that we had discussed, they rewrote it with no issues.  The whole process took a little over a week due to weather delays.  They arrived before 8 am daily and stayed late if they needed to.   Barbara was on site most of the time and was very accessible when she was not there.  They did a great job powerwashing, and like I said, they even washed up the driveway and walkway leading up to the house.   They took one day to power wash, and two to three days to paint the house and trim.  They needed another 2 to 3 days for the deck because they noticed two worn out boards and offered to replace the wood themselves.  That was great for us because we have 2 small kids, so we don't have a lot of time to repair the house ourselves.  They left their materials neatly in our backyard overnight so they could get a quick start daily.  They were so friendly and remembered our names and said hello to us when we would come and go.  They worked very hard and did a great job.  Our house looks 100% better!  Sebastian and Rafael were the main painters on our job and they were a pleasure to work with.  This company treated us like we were their only clients and like they'd known us for years.  They established a contract before any work was done, and divided the payments up into a pre-work deposit and after our final inspection.  They honored the contract and when we hit a couple of snags (replacing the deck boards and our forgetting to include the shutters in the painting request), they amended it and worked with the price increase to help fit our budget.  I would absolutely use this company again because they really take pride in their work and realize how important word-of-mouth recommendations are.  They know how to treat their customers!! Thanks guys!!

Deck Staining questions, 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.

Apply a wood stain or sealant to properly maintain a wood deck railing and keep it looking new. Sealants protect wood from moisture and weathering. Regularly inspect the railing for loose screws, damaged balusters, and other signs of wear to make timely repairs. Routinely clean the railing using mild soap, water, and a soft bristle brush.

Limewash and whitewash are two techniques used to give brick a light, matte finish, but they differ in composition, application, and permanence. The best choice depends on your aesthetic goals and the specific surface.

Composition

  • Limewash: A natural and environmentally friendly option made from limestone, water, and sometimes pigments. It is breathable and soaks into porous surfaces like brick.

  • Whitewash: Traditionally made from lime, water, chalk, and binders, but a similar look can be achieved with watered-down white paint. It is paint-based and sits on top of the surface.

Appearance and Finish

  • Limewash: Provides a natural, textured appearance that allows the brick's character to show through. It offers a more traditional finish.

  • Whitewash: Creates a softer, more opaque finish, often used for a rustic or shabby-chic style.

Application and Permanence

  • Limewash: Is semi-permanent and can be removed, making it a good choice if you might want to change the look in the future. It requires more skill to apply and cannot be used on previously painted brick.

  • Whitewash: Is a more permanent solution. It is more forgiving to apply and can be used on painted brick. However, because it sits on the surface, it can trap moisture.

Ultimately, if you want a breathable, natural, and reversible finish for unpainted brick, limewash is a great option. If you need a more permanent, opaque coating that can be applied over painted surfaces, whitewash is the better choice. Whitewashing may also be more economical, costing approximately $1.40 to $4.20 per square foot.

Pressure-treated wood lasts at least 10 years, but with the right care and treatment, it can last as long as 40 years. Painting the boards is one way to increase the lifespan of pressure-treated wood. The layer of paint provides extra protection for the wood against the exterior elements and insects.

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.
