"Gerlyn provided power washing and staining of my cedar fence and wood posts/gates on a trex deck. There attention to detail in their prep work to ensure the protection of surrounding building and personal items as well as their impeccable work on the finished project was very satisfying. Angel provided a very fair estimate and the team of two doing the work were very considerate, diligent and respectful of the property."

"Ten Home provided quality repairs, over the top service, excellent response time and accurate cost estimate. The owner kept us updated as to what was done each day and what to expect next. Once the repairs were completed, Ten Home did more than we expected with the deck cleaning and staining. Our deck looks new again and will be good to go for many years. This was so much more cost effective than replacing the deck with composite material and it looks beautiful. I am already looking to Ten Home for my next house project as they do most any type of house repairs. I highly recommend Ten Home."

"Excellent. Anthony's team was timely, professional and provided a very high quality product. The existing stain was 9 years old and considerable repair of loose and cracked boards was needed especially on the south elevation. Preemo completed a complete color change and addressed all the siding issues without additional carpentry costs. Lots of compliments and inquiries from neighbors."

"Mike was very professional in viewing and getting proposal written. Even covered his shoes with "booties"- I appreciated that as my carpet is less than 2 yrs old. Estimate did state aprox. time to remove wallpaper but I think even he was surprized it was more than double. The 2 workers showed up on time on the 11th and worked at getting started by putting down tarps and starting on the paper. The walls had been "sized" when the paper was originally installed but still some had to be scraped and drywall mud used. Then sanded before primer. The 2nd day the workers did most of this. The 3rd day I was told they had a court date at 9:00 but would be back for work after that. At 2:15 I rec'd a call that the court was just getting out so they would not be coming. I had been waiting all day. The workers came on Saturday to do more on the primer--which really smelled awful!! Monday 1 worker showed up to paint and was here from 7-4:45. After he left, I discovered a blue paint stain on my carpet, in some areas the paint was not totally covering the walls, and I discovered that the heating vents had not even been removed for painting behind them. There was an area by door in the hall where then strip of wallpaper had not been removed, or painted, This is an area about 1/2 inch between doors. By the baseboard the walls are not smooth and it appears had not been properly mudded and sanded. Also, when you get up close to the wall there are areas where it looks like the nap from the roller is stuck to the wall. I sent this info to Mike yesterday so I am hoping to hear something from him. I do not want these workers to come back. Both told me they work on an as needed basis and that this is not the normal work they do. I am still scrubbing my oak trim trying to get the paint smears off. The one good thing is that I do not have wallpaper anymore and if you stand back the walls look ok until you start to inspect the work. Mike had two actual painters come in and try to fix all the problems. They were here Sept. 30 And Oct. 1st. They did as good a job as they could and, I believe if I had these 2 actual painters in the first place I would have gotten a professional job. The guys had to do lots of sanding, prepping and totaling repaint everything; they also removed as much of the paint off the woodwork as they could. I guess the lesson I learned is to ASK about previous work experience before letting them start any project and maybe hover over them. The last group of workers did the best they could to rectify everything. We normally do our own painting and will continue to do so in the future. Mike was very apologitic and concerned that things were made better."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

When choosing between deck stain or paint, knowing what will last longer is important. Deck paint lasts longer than deck stain. With deck paint, you can get up to 10 years of coverage before you need to reapply. With deck stain, that time is significantly shorter at two to three years

You have a couple of options when choosing a durable pool deck coating. Epoxy is common and offers excellent stain and water resistance. Epoxy also withstands high temperatures and UV lighting, making it ideal for sunny spots. You can also add a coating to cement, which significantly lowers the temperature of the concrete, is environmentally safe, and makes cleanup a breeze.

You’ll need to wait until the surface is completely dry, which can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours under optimal conditions. The waiting period depends on several factors, including the type of siding and the weather conditions. Trying to paint before the surface is completely dry can trap moisture under the paint, leading to bubbling, blistering, and mold growth.
