"We had the best drywall and finishing job done. Steve and Gavin were professional, punctual, detail oriented, and pleasant to work with. We couldn't have found a better company. They drove a long distance to do our job. It made the painting so nice: Our painter/nephew even commented on how the job they left was going to make his job easier. I will upload pics later. I just want to thank Steve and Gavin for a fantastic job done!"

"Our painting project was for the trim and window/door frames and a couple of doors and the inside and outside of our screen patio. Painting was very meticulous since due to aluminum vents in the eaves that I did not want painted over. They arrived on time and were very personal = great customer service. The end product speaks for itself. We wholeheartedly recommend them for any painting project. They were very neat and cleaned up their work areas. They did not get any paint on our large screen room, which is a bit of a challenge, that I could not have met! We have already recommended them to a friend for their exterior trim project. This is a small business that has a bright future with their commitment to doing quality jobs in the time allotted with fair pricing! Why havenâ t your contacted them yet for your next painting job?"

"Earnest Middlebrooks and his brother, Michael Buckles, were hired to do a job for me. They were terrific because they arrived on time, did the job expertly and were nice gentlemen. I had Earnest patch and paint some damaged places on my dining room wall. Then, I had Michael remove our electric fireplace our builder did not insulate before putting in and then he rewired it. Because they did that well, I hired them to put up a new motion detection flood light. Great job, again. I plan on calling these guys every single time I have a project from now on. Call them. You will like them. So very happy I found them on HomeAdvisor. This is a much needed service and I am recommending it to everyone I know!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Always sand a deck before repainting so the wood is smooth and ready for paint. While you do not need to fully remove paint before repainting, sanding helps remove any areas with weather and sun damage. Sanding also helps remove chipped or flaking paint and opens the wood pores to improve paint adhesion.

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

Ideally, it's best to stain your dock once per year. Applying stain doesn't just keep it looking nice and new; it also helps extend the dock’s lifespan. Since you want to ensure water levels are at their lowest, it's best to have this project done by a professional dock repair service in the cooler autumn or early winter months. 

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.
