"Raymond and his apprentice did a wonderful job replacing all the drawer slides for our kitchen drawers. He was very meticulous with ensuring the hardware he replaced was proper for the job. He showed us how the original slides were installed incorrectly, causing them to fail to work properly. He was pleasant, knowledgeable and timely, and his labor costs are very affordable and competitive. We would not hesitate to hire him for other projects."

"Very honest family and workers. They were here on or before they promised every day. All of them take the greatest pride in their work, which shows at every step. In addition to changing our home from a eye sore to a home to beam over, they power washed the drive and sidewalks. They were black and now they are clean!!! I can't wait to have them do another project that's on my list. Thank you for your great work!"

"I hired David McCoy to do some patchwork on the drywall in my house, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. He was professional, punctual, and highly skilled. The patched areas are seamless—you’d never know there was any damage there to begin with. David paid close attention to detail and made sure everything was done perfectly. He also kept the workspace clean and was very respectful of my home. I highly recommend David McCoy for any drywall work. Excellent craftsmanship and great service all around."

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

Always wait until the morning dew has dried before you stain your deck. The stain needs a fully dry surface to sink into.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

Aftercare includes routine cleaning, checking for water repellency, and promptly addressing any chips or peels, maintaining the deck's appearance and functionality.

Yes, it is generally a very good idea to seal your deck after pressure washing. Power washing removes not only dirt and debris but also a thin layer of wood, leaving the surface exposed and more susceptible to weathering. Sealing is almost always needed after this process. After a general cleaning, sealing isn't automatically necessary if the existing sealant is still intact. You can test the surface by placing a few drops of water on it. If the water beads up, the sealant is working. If it soaks into the wood, it's time to apply a new sealant. If it has been a few years, it's wise to remove the old sealant, wash the deck, and reseal for maximum protection.

You’ll need to restrain your deck when you notice fading, cracking, peeling, or mold and mildew over a moderate to large area, or when it’s become especially difficult to clean. As for how often to stain a deck, plan to do it every two to three years or whenever you start to notice extended damage.
