"These guys did an amazing job. I am glad I did not listen to any of the reviews on Facebook because unfortunately there was some bad ones. I went with my gut and I’m glad I did. Craig and Mike were excellent. They listen to all my concerns and even changed a few things with no complaints at all. I will definitely hire them again and recommend them to anyone in the future. Thank you again for all that you did. It truly came out amazing."

"The installation and full kitchen remodel by Evolution construction, including the quartz and granite work, turned out absolutely perfect. The cabinets were finished with a high-gloss matte relief, and the transformation of my kitchen was truly from 0 to 100. I’m very happy I chose to work with them. They completed the project within the agreed timeline, and I didn’t experience any issues throughout the process. From the moment they started until the final day, there were no delays and the team remained fully committed. I’m truly grateful to Evolution construction for the outstanding job they did on my property."

"Interior painting was perfect and for a great price. We also had them pressure wash and paint our fence. Our house was on the market and they also did a couple of touch ups on the exterior without charge. For the fence painting, they were concerned about overspray into the neighbors property so they used a brush and roller to be on the safe side - all without any extra charge. They were professional, likeable, and actually fun to have around. Overall, the work completed was outstanding and they made my moving process much smoother. If I were staying in the area, they would be my "go to" people for any painting jobs."

"Spencer explained how they would proceed and the time it would take.  Everything went as contracted.  Spencer offered advice on colors when asked and left the job clean daily.  No "drips, runs, errors".

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.

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.

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.

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must.
