"The team was very helpful and professional! The new roof looks great and I am quite happy with the price. There was an unfortunate accident that occurred during clean up that resulted in some damage to my deck. The team has been very prompt, professional and apologetic regarding the issue and are fixing the damage and making things right."

"Things went well. The work was done meticulously. They cleaned up every day and communicated well as to any stoppage. i.e. Weather stopped job for two days and I was called to inform me. All nail holes were painted to match the color scheme. The bottom line: my home looks fantastic."

"I can't say enough nice words to describe the work LS Painting did for me. First of all, my deal had expired due to illness on my part and he honored it anyway. The painting went very well. A previous border on the wall required a great deal of additional attention and several trips. He came back just as cheerful as the first time. It looks beautiful. I mentioned some carpentery work I needed and he said he did that too. He built steps leading out to the garage from the house...with railings, no less...I feel much safer walking out there now. Also, he power washed the new deck and stained it. It looks great! He was always friendly, curteous and neat. He worked steadily until each task was completed. I am keeping him on speed dial as I have many little jobs I need tended to. I would recommend him gladly to anyone...especially the pickey homeowner. Three cheers for LS Painting.

"I was extremely please with the job that was completed. The exterior of my house looks great. Dennis and his crew were professional and courteous. Even as they were at removing the existing siding, gutter, etc., they always cleaned up before leaving for the day. I appreciated this especially because this was not just a one day job. They answered all my questions and kept me in the loop throughout the whole process. I plan on using this company again for some projects inside my house. Would recommend them to others."

"I felt very confident in Mr. Hoover and his staff's work and understanding of the project. He talked me into a little more work because it was necessary. I am very glad I did the extra and probably should have done more. I wish I had known about him when I first had the deck done because he did such a good job using better materials, cedar, and explaining how much longer it would last. His assistant was very professional.

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Beyond liquid rubber, homeowners can use sealants, stains, membranes, or tapes as waterproofing options. Oil-based or water-based sealants soak into the wood, creating a moisture-resistant barrier. Waterproofing stains—available in transparent, semi-transparent, and solid colors—add both protection and style to your deck. For heavy-duty waterproofing, deck membranes and waterproof tapes can be applied under the deck boards to direct water away from the structure below. Whatever method you choose, clean and prep the deck first to ensure the best, longest-lasting results.

Choosing the best color for your home exterior should factor in longevity as well as your personal taste. To keep your house looking newly painted as long as possible, stay away from red paint. Although red homes pop and are quintessential for country-style barns, red paint tends to fade fastest in the sun. Go with earth tones if you want paint that best resists fading.

Many decking oils can help slow down algae growth, but they don't completely stop it. These oils work by sealing the wood, which reduces moisture and, therefore, algae growth. Some decking oils also help protect against UV damage, but they need to be reapplied according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the decking stays protected.

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. 

Yes, beginners can use a paint sprayer, but there is a learning curve. It's important to go slowly, read the instructions thoroughly, and spend some time learning the technique. Watching tutorial videos for your specific paint sprayer model can be very helpful. Before starting your main project, practice on a scrap surface to get used to the sprayer and avoid common issues like overspraying, which can cause drips, bubbles, and other imperfections. For safety, always wear a mask and gloves, and be careful not to touch the sprayer's tip when it's in use, particularly with high-powered airless sprayers.
