"Randy and his team were a dream to work with! Randy and Chris were super easy to work with-they kept in constant communication, sent updated pics throughout the process, answered all my questions and had great ideas for paint color schemes. The painters were friendly, efficient, extremely hard working and cleaned up the property as they worked. Timmons Painting was recommended by a number of people, and I wouldn’t have used anyone else. Honest, trustworthy and a pleasure to do business with! I would recommend Randy and his team to anyone who wants a quality service performed, using only quality name brand products, with someone they can trust. I felt comfortable leaving this project in Randy’s hands, and he didn’t disappoint. Awesome work and strong work ethic. Would recommend to anyone needing paint services! Thank you Randy!!"

"Entire process was quick and easy. Left v/m to set appointment and received callback within 10 minutes. Arrived on time and had no problem getting out some tough pet and kid stains on white carpet. Whole process took no more than 45 minutes and the carpets looked great and were approved by two tough critics - my wife's mother and grandmother."

"Mr Nice Guy was about 2 months our on doing the house, which was fine; however, I was notified they were able to get the power washing done within a couple of weeks and begin the house within a month. The deck came first, which was delayed due to the high temps.  Their deck guy came out on a cloudy Saturday and complete the deck staining in one day.  The house was completed a couple of weeks later.

"The guys were amazing, so thorough and genuine, if there were any concerns, which there were not many, we always felt like we could express and understand each other! These guys came, completed their jobs, and went above and beyond to ensure that they left the property better than they found it. We would definitely recommend Askarben Carpentry’s services and will be using them for any future contracting services. Thank you Rob, Casey, Jeremy, and Mario for making our dreams come true! Update as of 4.26.2021: Here are the results from their project:"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years.

Various kinds of substances and deck preservatives act as protective coatings for wood to prevent rot, which is caused by water getting into the wood and creating cracks and splits. Stains, paints, and sealants are the three best options to protect your wood, but there are also oils, varnishes, and waxes available. You’ll need to reapply sealant at least once per year, and you should inspect your wood deck regularly to look for signs of damage or general wear and tear.

Ipe wood can last up to 75 years with minimal maintenance because its own oils help to preserve it. However, to get the most out of your Ipe wood deck, you should perform some routine maintenance, including regular cleaning, sweeping of leaves and debris, and rinsing spills with a hose. It’s also important to repair any deep scratches as soon as you spot them and reseal the deck annually to protect against scratches and scuffs.

An exterior paint job typically lasts between 5 and 10 years, though this can range from 3 to 17 years depending on several factors. The longevity is influenced by the quality of the paint and primer, the quality of the application, the local climate, and the type of surface being painted. For example, paint on wood siding may need to be redone every 3 to 7 years, while painted brick can last up to 17 years. Aluminum siding often needs repainting every 5 years.

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.
