"This company was very easy to work with. The original estimate was detailed and very reasonable. When we needed to change a line item, the company updated the estimate within the hour. And still it was a reasonable estimate . The painter was amazing. He attended to detail. He put in many hours each day. We were surprised our 2 story home was painted in 3 days. And it was painted with care and detail. I would not hesitate to recommend this company to help anyone with a home improvement project."

"Todd was very efficient in dismantling the hood, cutting a hole through the wall to the outside, laying the piping, sealing, and testing the new setup. What impressed me was the fact that he didn’t try to sell me a new hood. He also was very conscious of any messes he may make, laying down drop clothes, etc. and disposing of his garbage in appropriate receptacles. I was very happy with the time it took him to do the job. Super quick, yet high quality work. From what I have experienced thus far (I have him booked for a couple other projects), Todd is a stand-up trustworthy guy who knows what he’s doing. He is super busy so it may take him a while to respond to inquiries, but he’s definitely worth the wait. I would highly recommend him to family & friends."

"Great! The owner(Mike) met with me that very next evening. Not to mention I was having issues having anyone out to give me a quote. In the beginning he was up front with me and told me he was pretty busy but assured me he would find a way to make it happen. From that moment I can tell he was compassionate about his customers. He was very professional and I could tell he knew what he was doing as a business owner. Looking forward to doing business with Briggs Elite Services in the future. I would absolutely recommend them for all your paint and drywall sevices."

"They came in with a competitive bid, but theirs included the carpentry repairs from their subcontractor Nick (he knows what he is doing). They did a great job. I think they respond best to pictures being printed out with highlights on your concerns. Texting will not get you too far (update: Joseph let me know his phone broke right before my project, which is why he struggled with communication). We exceeded my budget due to unforeseen siding repairs, but hey they had the eye for seeing the needed repair. They always let me inspect it myself too to make the decision. I was a little concerned at first that the project would not be completed up to my high standards, but once I figured out how they operate (present pictures of your concerns) they took care of everything. I will say I was quite hands on, and never gave Joseph and Chad a full opportunity to catch things on their own, but if I see something I will say something to help them out along the way and present my expectations. I noticed in the walkthrough they were catching things I did not (which is also why I chose them during the bid). They used Sherwin Williams Super Paint - works for me."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Ensure gutters and downspouts remain clean, monitor wall integrity, and promptly address any arising imperfections or peels concept permanence rooted.

Yes, it is generally a very good idea to seal your deck after pressure washing. Power washing removes not only dirt and debris but also a thin layer of wood, leaving the surface exposed and more susceptible to weathering. Sealing is almost always needed after this process. After a general cleaning, sealing isn't automatically necessary if the existing sealant is still intact. You can test the surface by placing a few drops of water on it. If the water beads up, the sealant is working. If it soaks into the wood, it's time to apply a new sealant. If it has been a few years, it's wise to remove the old sealant, wash the deck, and reseal for maximum protection.

You’ll want to avoid excessively hot or humid conditions, so it’s best to apply your stain in late spring to early fall. It's also important to watch the weather forecast and aim for days when there isn’t rain expected for at least three days. For new decks, allow the wood to season beforehand for at least four to eight weeks.

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.

Choosing the right product involves understanding deck material, desired finish, and local weather conditions. Opt for high-quality, weatherproof formulations ensuring long-term durability and appearance retention.
