"Contacted them to by phone on 7/16/21 at about 9:30 am was told the estimators were busy but was asked to send an email of photo's I had of the problem as well as my contact info and estimator would be in touch. I sent email and received a reply from Billing Mgr at 10:02 am. That is the last I heard from them. Ended up getting work done by another company that actually replied back to me (that same day). With all of the other glowing reviews of this company on Angles list, I'm surprised."

Amruss Home Improvement has been in business for more than 25 years. Everybody knows us for our professional Window washing and Gutter cleaning services. But besides those, we also provide a whole variety of other services like Gutter Cleaning, Window Washing, Snow Plowing, and Holiday light installation, Handyman services. We offer fast, high-quality, and professional services at affordable prices. We value every customer and strive to provide the best service possible. Award-winning. Licensed & Insured. Additional DBA - Amruss Inc. Cost is determined by the job.

"Punctuality was an issue. They tried to defer to the following day but did finally arrive on the scheduled date after a delay of 6 hours. I had to telephone to discover the delay after they did not arrive at the scheduled time. My primary complaint is that they did considerable damage to my home. Chemicals spilled on the couch, dirty sports from liquid dripping onto the carpet and a damaged wood window blind. The employee moved the blind so aggressively that the mechanism was damaged. Eventually, they took the blind back to their office for repair. It took almost two weeks before the blind was returned repaired with glue - clearly a temporary fix - and the cords were shortened so that the blind no longer covers the full length of the window. I have asked and they agreed to replace the blind. They were given measurements and photos for color matching three different times. Most recently I was told a replacement would be purchased and I would be contacted within 24 hours to make an appointment for the installation. I was able to get this far in the process by making numerous telephone calls and having conversations with management. It has now been almost a week since the replacement was promised and I have yet to hear from them. This has been a 3 week saga and I do not believe they intend to do anything to repair the damage to my home caused by their employee. Do not use this company if you value your home. It is not worth getting an Angie's deal on price to sustain this type of damage and try to deal with a company that does not make good on the damage."

Casey Black Painting specializes in interior painting, light carpentry, drywall work, and deck maintenance for the Chicagoland area and most of the surrounding suburbs. We have exacting standards and an attention to detail that comes with over 40 years of painting experience. We are clean, punctual, and very trustworthy. We are fully insured and offer free estimates. We have an extensive reference list that is available upon request.

"I hired Casey and his team to paint my entire condo, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Their professionalism, communication, and attention to detail were outstanding from start to finish. I had my colors picked, but Casey helped refine finishes and suggested ways to simplify color use across rooms. He came out for a free quote within a few days, provided insurance info, and came back later to paint samples on the walls so I could feel confident in my choices. I wasn’t living there yet and chose not to be there so I could be surprised, but Casey sent daily updates. They finished exactly on time, stayed within budget, and even swapped out outlet covers for me. The quality was amazing! Clean lines, smooth finishes, and not a drip anywhere. They actually left the place cleaner than they found it. Casey even matched caulk to different tile and fixed a ton of imperfections in the walls and crown molding. I’d absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for great painters."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

You don’t have to pressure wash your deck before painting. However, you must clean the deck, and pressure washing is one of the most efficient methods. Pressure washing quickly removes flaked paint, wood fibers, and embedded dirt. It also gets much deeper into the wood surface than manually scrubbing the deck—and the cleaner the deck, the better the paint can adhere. Ensure the wood is fully dry before applying paint.

The best time to paint your deck is when temperatures are neither too cold (below 60 degrees) nor too hot (above 85 degrees). Always paint your deck when there’s no risk of rain. For fast-drying paint like acrylic or latex, ensure your deck can dry for at least four hours. Oil-based paints take longer to dry and may require 48 hours to completely cure.

Hot, intense sunshine can cause your stain to dry too quickly, which could lead it to look uneven or patchy. If you’re staining the deck during hotter months, it’s best to do it in the morning or evening once the wood has had time to cool down. If you’re staining in cooler weather with less sunshine, the time of day won’t make as much of a difference.

You should treat your deck with stain or sealer every two to three years to ensure it stays durable and protected from the elements. If you have a painted deck, we suggest repainting it every 10 years. You should clean your deck annually and inspect it for loose or damaged boards, screws, and nails. By maintaining your wood deck, you ensure its longevity, durability, and appearance.
