"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

The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage. 

Whitewashing isn’t permanent, but it can last for a long, long time. When you apply it correctly or have a seasoned pro whitewash your brick, whitewashing can last for 20 to 30 years or longer. Whitewash is very durable and typically requires little maintenance, making it a great project for most DIYers.

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.

The opposite is actually true: Wood stains tend to appear lighter when they’re fully dry. However, stains may darken as they weather and oxidize with age. Stains might also darken on surfaces left in direct sunlight, as UV rays can break down pigment particles and cause them to darken over time.

It’s best to use an exterior latex acrylic paint to promote maximum adhesion to composite decking. This flexible paint type can better cope with the natural expansion and contraction that can occur with composite deck boards. Oil-based paints won’t adhere as effectively and are more likely to crack and peel as the boards flex. Testing whether your chosen paint will stick on an inconspicuous section or a spare board is a good idea.
