"Eli is very good at his profession, I gave him a 4.5 on quality because at the time he didnâ t know that stained wood needs oil paint, and some of the painted wood is peeling."
"Highly Recommend Luis!
Luis recently completed a full deck restoration project for us, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. He worked both independently and with a helper at times, and his attention to detail was outstanding throughout the entire process.
He replaced damaged boards, thoroughly sanded, and beautifully stained both our deck and the screened‑in porch below it. He even went above and beyond by taking care of our arbor as well, which was such a nice surprise.
We did need to clarify a few small details along the way (like screws vs. nails), but Luis was always patient, professional, and easy to work with. Nothing was ever a problem.
We’re extremely pleased with the quality of his work and would highly recommend Luis for any project you have in mind. We’ll definitely be using him again."

"Three Stags Remodeling, Pedro Martinez and brother and friend, did a great job on multiple projects for me. They covered a large deck and covered a large patio at two different locations. Both covers were stained/painted. They also helped with several smaller house repairs. Each job was done well, all finished on schedule at a reasonable price. Pedro communicates well with customers. Thank you."
"Juan and his team always exceed our expectations. We've used him multiple times for our own home and rentals that we have renovated. He is fair, very punctual and ensures you are happy with the results. When something happened to the stain I reached out and he quickly came by and made the floors beautiful again. Highly recommend this professional."
"Communication was excellent. Painting skill was good. When I have them back to do more I will supply shoe covers. We did have some red clay tracked in on the carpet. We did manage to get the stain out. I would hire them again."

No, it is not okay to paint over rotted wood. Painting over rotted wood will not address the underlying issue and can trap moisture, leading to further decay. Properly addressing the rotted wood by removing and replacing or repairing the damaged areas is necessary before you can even consider painting.
Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface.
You’ll need to wait until the surface is completely dry, which can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours under optimal conditions. The waiting period depends on several factors, including the type of siding and the weather conditions. Trying to paint before the surface is completely dry can trap moisture under the paint, leading to bubbling, blistering, and mold growth.
Yes, you can waterproof any wood that has not already been treated. A good way to test this is to splash some water on it. If the water starts to bead up, the wood is treated and most likely doesn’t need another coating.
Eggshell and satin finishes are best for porches because they sit in the sweet spot between scuffable matte and distracting high gloss. Your porch sees a fair amount of wear and tear, so you don’t want paint that’ll show every mark like matte, but you don’t want to be blinded by glossy paint in the sun either. Eggshell and satin have durability and a look that sits nicely in the middle.
