"Steve is a good natured and reliable guy who has great enthusiasm for his work. He installed Pergo laminate in my dining room and kitchen doing a very tricky transition of the same flooring from the living room that was previously installed. It came out beautifully and I highly recommend Steve."

"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

DIY staining or painting is manageable with proper preparation, including safety measures, necessary tools, and adherence to safe weather conditions for application.

While the answer varies based on weather, 10 a.m. is a good time to start painting. The dew will have dried, meaning there’s no moisture on the house, and the temperature will likely be moderate and the sunlight less direct. Starting mid-morning should also give you enough daylight and pleasant weather to work on the job for several hours.

Deciding whether to stain or paint a pool deck depends on your budget, desired look, and the deck's material. Both options can work. Paint offers a wider variety of color options, provides excellent water resistance, and can last longer. However, it requires a primer and can eventually fade or peel. Stain is often cheaper, easier to apply, and penetrates the wood for a more natural look and longer-lasting finish. It also has great water resistance. The downsides are fewer color options and the need for a sealant. The choice can also depend on the deck material; for example, staining may be a better option for concrete as it bonds well and lasts longer than paint.

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.

If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.
