"Doherty Contracting power washed my Stucco house as well as power washed and stained the deck. Job had excellent results and they were extremely professional throughout and kept us informed throughout. Definitely a nice experience and am considering them for more work on home."

"We did a lot of prep work, moving furniture , removing wall switches etc ( Pay your painter to paint, not to move furniture ) When they arrived , we decided to have them paint another hall, the dining room a wall in the kitchen and a guest room . They repaired cracks, stains and holes Removed wall paper, primed where necessary and painted most of our house in 2 days When they were finished, we were very happy with the quality of the work , I gave them a big tip . We would recommend Luxury Home Improvements to our friends and family"

"John was excellent to work with and was very professional.  We were in process of re-doing our MBR walk-in closet and we had removed floor to ceiling mirrors attached to the wall and doors.  I had asked him to put up door trims, re-hang the closet doors, replace the door knobs, help re-finish/restore/sand down the doors and dry-wall (from all the leftover glue) and paint if time permitted (we had purchased a 4 hour deal from Angie's list).  John did a fantastic job completing everything except for the painting because the dry-wall spackle needed to dry over a longer period of time - not a big deal to us since painting will be easy.  John did cut the trims too short, but he took the initiative to run to HD and get replacement door trims.  Everything was in place and cleaned up by the time the 4 hours was up.  Thanks again, John!

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

You’ll need to wait until the surface is completely dry, which can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours under optimal conditions. The waiting period depends on several factors, including the type of siding and the weather conditions. Trying to paint before the surface is completely dry can trap moisture under the paint, leading to bubbling, blistering, and mold growth.

The opposite is actually true: Wood stains tend to appear lighter when they’re fully dry. However, stains may darken as they weather and oxidize with age. Stains might also darken on surfaces left in direct sunlight, as UV rays can break down pigment particles and cause them to darken over time.

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.

Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years.

A properly applied coat of stain will last between 3 and 8 years, depending on your climate. If you live in a place where your fence experiences a lot of moisture or high heat, your stain will last for a shorter period than in more temperate conditions. We recommend reapplying stain every 3 to 5 years to keep your wood in good condition.
