"We worked with Sean through the whole process. The exterior of the home came out beautiful. All our neighbors complimented it. For the interior work, they did a very good job with some tough edging work. Overall, it came out great. My only complaint is that the exterior job clean up could have been a bit better. When power washing the house, the old (now diluted with water) paint was running onto our deck. They did not rinse this off and it left a tint of white on the deck (nothing serious). But I also think they they thought it would rinse away with the next rain. Sean is absolutely willing to due whatever it takes to make you happy, so if I would have told him to make sure to rinse the deck, they would have. Honest mistake, and I would definitely still hire them in the future."

"Leandro and his crew did a great job staining my house and painting the trim. The crew showed up when they said they would and came everyday (weather permitting) until the job was finished. His price was very fair for the work performed. Most importantly, Leandro returned all my emails within minutes. Highly recommend.."

"Leonard's Masonry did a solid job with my paver project. He promised me that after he was done fixing the pavers around my pool that it would look brand new and he was spot on. There were a couple of tricky spots around the pool and the work he did around those areas was exceptional. I would definitely hire him again and would recommend him to anyone that is looking for a solid masonry contractor."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Ideally, it's best to stain your dock once per year. Applying stain doesn't just keep it looking nice and new; it also helps extend the dock’s lifespan. Since you want to ensure water levels are at their lowest, it's best to have this project done by a professional dock repair service in the cooler autumn or early winter months. 

You may be wondering: can you paint cement? Fortunately, the answer is yes.

To change the color of your cinder blocks, you have two options. You can either paint them or stain them. Either way, you'll be able to choose from a wide range of color options. Some popular colors for cinder block painting include off-white shades and gray tones, which add a modern spin to the traditional gray blocks.

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.

You can use latex or acrylic paint outdoors. Although acrylic paint tends to last longer outside, it also costs more, so if you’re painting the outside of your house, for instance, latex paint is often a go-to option. However, acrylic will be your best choice if you want to spend some extra money for added durability.

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.
