"This company is awesome! Ben came to inquire about what I needed done: kitchen, living room, two bedrooms, and computer room. He gave me an estimate about the cost. He indicated they had a color specialist who could Ben came to the house to give me an estimate. He said they had a color specialist who could come to the house and help with colors. Ben was not pushy just gave me what information I needed to complete the job. I was immediately impressed and picked this company for the job. I used the color specialist who was great, and most of the time there were three painters here to do the job! The painters did all the work and did a great job! They purchased the paint and covered what furniture that needed it. I would highly recommend this company and will use them again!"

"Great quality service overall. They installed fiber cement siding and painted our house. They also resurfaced our deck as well. They were very professional and did quality work. Great attention to details, too! High caliber customer service- whenever I had questions or concerns, Nick would reply promptly via email, text, or a phone call. I would definitely hire them again and would recommend them to anyone."

"I really liked him.  He did a little bit of electrical work but was more of a handyman. I wanted him to look at the lights on my deck and he kind of messed around with it for a few minutes and he got it working.  He was very good.  He charged by the hour.  Whatever you wanted done he basically just charged by the hour."

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.

It’s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that’s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat. 

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must. 

You don't need to seal your deck after painting it because most exterior paints are waterproof and weather-resistant. While stealing is not necessary, it can add an additional layer of protection.

You can use latex or acrylic paint outdoors. Although acrylic paint tends to last longer outside, it also costs more, so if you’re painting the outside of your house, for instance, latex paint is often a go-to option. However, acrylic will be your best choice if you want to spend some extra money for added durability.
