"I had a very fast response when I put in for the project. He was very open to the work I wanted done and showed up everyday to get the job done. The deck looks amazing and way better than before. Would definately hire Castle Construction and Frame again if needed. Picture added from old to new."

"Excellent! Marcus did good, quality work and kept in communication with me, including sending photos of the work he had done. He was very professional, he researched any required permits, he sent product information for the stain he was using, he arrived when stated and worked hard through some sweltering summer days. I would definitely hire him again. As a matter of fact, we are in the process of hiring him for our next project!"

"Couldn't have been more pleased!  Very professional and got right to it.  The Wall Switch that was removed, you never would have known there was one there, excellent job. The Ceiling repair, was our biggest concern, done wonderfully.  Very Happy with the outcome of this Project.... Might even have him come back to do some other Projects in the Future.  He's quite the HandyMan!!!Would definitely recommend Alan and his sidekick Geno to anyone!!! """FANTABULOUS""""

"I hired them to paint the house, but they also do carpentry and they built great shelves for me and a bed, which looks awesome. They did a great job on all my projects. Also, the tile guy who I hired did a lot of rotten work and left a lot of stuff unfinished, and they finished his work for me reasonably, including stain, baseboard and quarter round. They always showed up when they said they were coming and they finished in a timely manner. Best of all, they didnâ t complain when I asked them to repaint stuff and often they didnâ t charge me for it, which is good because I change my mind a lot. Additionally, they were able to offer their opinions when I asked them about colors and ideas for building stuff. Most of all, they were pleasant, friendly and I enjoyed their company. I mustâ ve texted them a million times and called them frequently, and they always answered me and got back to me soon. All in all, a good experience!"

"CJâ s Painting Decoration, Inc 630-815-8370 cjspaintinginc.com OUTSTANDING! Victor and his team do wonderful work and are very competitively priced. Very friendly and respectful of your home. I had all of my ceilings painted, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a vaulted hallway. CJâ s did all of the patchwork, supplied all of the paint. The team went above and beyond what I was expecting. I was a candle burner for years. That wreaks havoc on your walls and ceilings, all kinds of soot issues. Victor noticed the imperfections and went through the house with oil base and corrected the issue. He wanted it to be perfect, and it is!!!! I fully recommend CJâ s Painting and Decoration, Inc."

"Happy Hands Construction recently completed a bathroom renovation at my home, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The team first came in and painted the walls, instantly giving the space a fresh, updated feel. They then removed my old flooring with great care and efficiency, making way for the beautiful new vinyl flooring they installed. The transformation is stunning. It really modernized the room. To add a unique touch, they also installed shiplap behind the toilet, which added a perfect modern accent to the design. Throughout the project, the team was professional, punctual, and paid close attention to every detail. I’m absolutely thrilled with the finished result and would highly recommend Happy Hands Construction for any home improvement project!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

The plastic in composite decking boards protects them enough that you do not need to paint them to prevent warping. In fact, painting composite decking voids the warranty of some manufacturers. Painting can also increase maintenance on the deck, as you must paint regularly to keep it looking its best.

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.

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 should seal your deck every one to two years, but you’ll also need to clean and repair your wood deck throughout the seasons. You may want to hire a local house cleaning service to sweep and clean the deck thoroughly. These cleaning services cost around $50 per hour.

Inspect your deck at least once a year, and if you notice any damage or rot, expect to spend about $10 to $50 for simple DIY fixes or about $2,000 for professional repairs on more extensive damage.

Apply a wood stain or sealant to properly maintain a wood deck railing and keep it looking new. Sealants protect wood from moisture and weathering. Regularly inspect the railing for loose screws, damaged balusters, and other signs of wear to make timely repairs. Routinely clean the railing using mild soap, water, and a soft bristle brush.
