"I would recommend Janos and his firm to anyone that needs work done. I am a big fan of smaller companies that offer high quality work, personalized attention, and customization at fair prices. Gabor Renovations fits the bill in all these areas. The communication was exceptional, via phone, text message, email, videos and pictures. He is reliable and available and goes above and beyond for his clients. He also did a stellar job on our pool deck which was newly painted but a different company but the quality of the materials and work resulted in the paint washing away with a simply hosing off of the pool deck. Janos and his team, assessed the situation, stripped , hand sanded, primed and painted the pool deck with unparalleled quality. See the pictures below of the pool deck and exterior of home stained white. The proof is in the pudding. I would use no one else."

"We just had the exterior of our house painted and it was an exceptionally fine job. All of the steps involved, from power washing to caulking to sealing to painting were completed exactly as Ryan specified. The crew arrived promptly as scheduled and were highly organized, efficient and, above all, professional. When the job was completed, they left our house neat and clean. I highly recommend Southern Painting to anyone seeking a house painting contractor. They delivered as promised and we were completely satisfied. If we could give more than 5 stars, we would. You won't be sorry."

"Had the driveway and garage floor resurfaced and stained. They did an ok job on the driveway, but the product used was not very good and after only a month it has stains and looks terrible. Lou tried to blame the color I choose and would not redo the color unless I paid more. As far as the garage floor they took off the existing stain and put down the new stain I choose and after it dried it looked terrible because there was a lot of areas that bleed through. After contacting Lou he replied that the quote was only for one coat and it would cost an additional 300.00 plus to get it done right. I had no choice because it looked terrible and I had to pay the additional."

"Removal of old tile caused extra dust and furniture and surroundings were not properly protected. Quality of work was excellent until I found a mistake in laying the pattern and it was too late to correct. I have to live with his mistake."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.

Yes, you must thoroughly clean your deck before staining. If you don't, dirt, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped between the wood and the new stain. This not only looks unsightly but also prevents the stain from penetrating the wood properly, reducing its ability to protect the deck from weather and UV rays. As a result, the stain won't last as long or look as good. Any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning for the wood to dry completely before applying stain.

The need for a topcoat on a painted deck depends on various factors, primarily the type of paint used and your desired level of protection. Many premium deck paint formulations are self-sealing, eliminating the necessity for an additional topcoat. These paints often have built-in additives that substantially protect against moisture, UV rays, and everyday wear and tear.

Hot, intense sunshine can cause your stain to dry too quickly, which could lead it to look uneven or patchy. If you’re staining the deck during hotter months, it’s best to do it in the morning or evening once the wood has had time to cool down. If you’re staining in cooler weather with less sunshine, the time of day won’t make as much of a difference.

You have a couple of options when choosing a durable pool deck coating. Epoxy is common and offers excellent stain and water resistance. Epoxy also withstands high temperatures and UV lighting, making it ideal for sunny spots. You can also add a coating to cement, which significantly lowers the temperature of the concrete, is environmentally safe, and makes cleanup a breeze.
