"I had a lot of carpentry repairs needed on the fascia, under the chimney cap, on the covered porch, around doors and windows; the house was a bit of a mess. But they got it all, and the covered porch trim looks amazing. I upgraded the paint to Sherwin Williams Emerald for the trim and requested two applications of S.W. Duration on the southern-facing siding. Now, everything looks great!"

"On or about September 25, 2025, I contacted Angi to hire a professional painter to paint the exterior of my home. Later that day I received a call from Kelly from Atlanta Painting Company and set a date for September 26, 2025 @ noon for a free estimate. On September 26, 2025, I received a text from Michael C. Goodin stating that he could come at 11: 00 am and conduct the estimate. Michael walked around my property and quoted an estimate of $3,375.82, I thought that was high from simply painting the trim of my home, but the HOA was involved, and I needed to get this done, so I agreed. I received an email from Allysa Escalante from Atlanta Painting Company stating that they would like to start the work on Tuesday September 30, 2025. I received another emailed that same day from Cynthia Hendry from Atlanta Painting Company stating that the crew would arrive on Tuesday, September 30, 2025, the length of the job would take three days, requested the $1,013.95 deposit and other related information. I thought it was odd that Michael texted me later that day pushing for the $1,013.95 deposit as this was a Friday, so I sent the deposit. On Monday September 29, 2025, I received an email from Jorge Arredondo, (project manager), for Atlanta Painting Company stating that he and the painting crew would arrive on Tuesday September 30, 2025, between 8:30 to 9:30 am to start the job. On September 30, 2025, at about 9:30, a two-man crew that did not speak English showed up, no Jorge Arredondo, (the English-speaking project manager) and attempted to communicate with me requesting I do a walk around my property to verify the estimate. This was something I could not do as I am a disabled veteran with a total knee replacement, and I told Michael about this. I contacted Michael by text and asked him why Jorge was not here, and he could not give me an answer other than Jorge was calling my phone as we texted. I told Michael to have Jorge leave a message. On that same day, Jorge left a message stating that he would be at my home the next day at 9:30 am and we would discuss why he failed to communicate with me. On October 1, 2025, @ 9:30 am the two-man crew that did not speak English showed up, no Jorge. I text Jorge about his lateness and lack of communication. I informed him that I was not happy with the quality of service, and I would speak to Michael about this. I contact Michael and stated that I have a big problem with Jorge’s lateness, lack of communication and quality of service. Michael stated that I should give Jorge another chance and that he vouches for this guy, I told Michael that’s not going to happen. You only get one chance to make a good impression. I when on to discuss items on the estimate the was either not done or should have been removed prior to September 30, 2025. These items were the back basement door; it should not have been on the estimate because I didn’t ask for that work to be done and the removal of the cost concerning the vinyl windows as they cannot be painted. I also requested an itemization of the estimate and how he came to the $3,375.82 quote. Michael stated that his company does not individually itemize their estimates. I informed Michael that we need to go over the numbers before reaching a final payment, he agreed. I also asked Michael are you just a salesman or are you the contractor? Michael never responded. Later that day, the two-man, non-English-speaking crew asked for final payment. I don’t know if they understood me when I told them I would speak to Michael and Jorge concerning that. These two men waited outside my property for about 30 minutes. I contact Michael again via text and asked why they are still here, what are they waiting for and do I need to call the police? I received no reply from Michael and the two men left shortly after.Angi It was my understanding that Michael and I would go over the estimate and agree on a lower price since there was no contract for the final payment, and that never happen. I am unsure if the work was properly done, since Michael and Jorge stopped communicating with me and the Atlanta Painting Company just disappeared. This is what I now know, Michael Goodin was arrested in August 2024, for a DUI, and is a follower of what I believe is a white supremacist, Charlie Kirk. There was no supervision by Jorge to ensure the job with done right and, I believe the two painters were un-documented. I contacted Angi to avoid issues like this. I really don’t know who came to my home and why it got weird when I asked more questions. I set my home security system each night as I fear for the safety of myself and family because of this interaction. I expect a full refund of my deposit of $1,013.95 and no further communications anyone from Atlanta Painting Company"

Wood Stripping Companies questions, answered by experts

Yes, and repairing such damage is another repair that’s done often. Sagging gutters are usually the result of one of two things: damage or overload. For example, ice buildup over the winter due to clogged gutters can cause expansion, stretching the gutters. A falling tree limb or even a rogue baseball can cause gutters to sag. Sagging gutters can be repaired, but they are often replaced because it can take less time.

Algae doesn't directly contribute to wood rot, like mold, but it does create conditions that can lead to mold over time. Algae retain moisture, which favors fungal growth, potentially leading to wood rot over time. In some cases, significant algae growth can lead to the weakening of wood fibers, ultimately causing rot. Try to keep things as dry as possible. 

The raw materials inside wood filler work as a binding agent that, once dry, stays hard and helps reinforce wood. It's a great way to help older lumber maintain its integrity and strength if you're looking to, say, build a new piece of furniture from old or repurposed wood.

Yes, any part of the home where wood meets water is susceptible to wood rot. This includes underneath sinks, decks, windowsills, window frames, basements, attics, and eaves, among other locations. Conduct regular inspections of these areas to spot the beginning stages of wood rot. Even the wood under roof shingles can rot and affect other areas.

Yes, pressure-treated wood can occasionally turn green due to certain preservatives, such as copper-based chemicals, used during the treatment process. These chemicals react with the wood, creating a greenish tint. The good news? It's temporary, and the color will fade over time. Staining or painting can also help hide any unwanted hues.
