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."

"Excellent. Rafael saw concerns during the quoting walk-around that I had not, and he made sure they were fixed. His crew did a wonderful job, and their clean-up was good. On the final walk-around, he took seriously my small concerns, and he offered to paint a door that we both noticed now looked out-of-place next to the newly painted storm door. I was so impressed with his work that I gave Lilian Touch a bonus in the hundreds of dollars."

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."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

Adding a second coat of stain to wood can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.

While most stains will be dry to the touch within 12 hours, it can take up to 48 hours to fully cure. That means that while your stain might not be sticky within 12 hours, it’s still not recommended to get it wet or touch it until it’s had a chance to set for at least 24 to 48 hours.

Sometimes, you can apply a new stain over an old one, but the outcome depends on the deck's condition and whether the stains are compatible. For the best results, ensure the old stain surface is clean, smooth, and in good condition, and always test for compatibility before committing.

Pressure-treated wood can not only be painted and stained, but it should be; doing so will help to prevent surface or deck board cracking. Allow the wood to dry out before painting it, as pressure-treated wood from the hardware store takes longer to dry than kiln-dried lumber. If water beads on the surface, it needs additional time to dry—in fact, it can take weeks or even months to fully dry. As soon as the wood absorbs water on the surface, it is ready to be painted or stained.
