"If you are a perfectionist and want a job done that will exceed your expectations, hire Garry Stidham! I recently purchased a 40 year old home in Haile in need of much exterior repair. Garry repaired the deck, fence, screened porch and finally all of the rotten wood on the home itself. He was very knowledgeable with regard to materials and paint needed to restore my home to its former glory. Most of the rotten trim and fascia was replaced with Hardie Board which was cut to laser precision. Rotten lap siding was replaced with new pressure treated wood, which he primed before being installed on the home! No one else would go that extra step! After extensive preparation, the home was painted. I cannot explain how happy I am with the final painted results of my home. His abilities with a paint brush on the edges, trim, windows and doors are nothing less than perfection. I could go on and on, but simply stated, Garry will be the only person I will have working on my home."

"Services done were most professional. The work was very organized. Attention was given to details and safety codes. The cost estimates made were very specific and easy to understand. As each area of carpentry was being done Alan Oxendine involved my spouse and I in each decision. We have asked Alan Oxendine to return and do our next project. Exceptional worker!!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.

If you don’t treat a cedar fence, it will turn from reddish brown to gray over time. You can keep the cedar from graying and retain its attractive, deep red color by sealing your cedar fence with a stain that keeps the wood’s oils in and serves as a barrier against the sun’s UV rays.

Painting a damaged pool deck is not recommended if the substrate is crumbling, cracking, spalling, or otherwise actively deteriorating. Continuing deterioration will result in the paint also delaminating or flaking off the damaged surface. Minor damage such as chips or hairline cracks that are not actively deteriorating can often be repaired enough to paint over. A damaged pool deck with a lot of cracking and deterioration should be replaced for best results.

The best temperature to paint a pool deck is between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit, because many paints and sealers require temperatures warm enough for the chemical reaction to take place for proper curing. The paint should not be allowed to freeze, and temperatures above 90 degrees can cause the paint to dry too quickly, also preventing the chemical reaction from following through to completion.

Waterproof paint creates a barrier to hold back moisture, but it doesn’t eliminate the source of the water. If you hire a basement waterproofing contractor, many will tell you that waterproof paint is only a temporary solution. On average, you can expect it to last from six months to two years in a wet basement before deteriorating.
