"Ricardo and his helper were very nice and respectful. I really appreciate the work they did - fast and done well. They cleaned up all debris so that it looked like they hadn’t even been here. I would definitely hire him again."

"Jorge was great. He went above and beyond. I needed an aluminum garage repainted. Other companies wanted to just pressure wash it and paint. Jorge sanded to bare metal, primed it then repainted. Highly recommended. Out of 10 stars, he’s a 12."

"This company is full of S***!!! My home warranty company sent these crooks to my house to repair a leak in the basement. They allegedly found it to be a faulty water heater. After about 6wks of back and forth with them they replaced the water heater. Guess what?? There's still a leak!!! I called the warranty company to advise it's still leaking, they contact these crooks, schedule a return appt, they don't show up or call me back! After reading all of these reviews, I'm never allowing them back in my home. The service men were lazy, unprofessional, and clearly not knowledgeable. They didn't bring the proper tools. Requested help with removing the water heater. Whoever runs the phone service calls and texts you late at night then gets mad if you contact them after 5pm or weekends. I let him know, if you can contact me late, I'll be contacting you late! I'm not sure who he thinks he is, but he's going to scam the right home owners and get his just desserts very soon! "

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

Decks can either be stained or painted, depending on your preference. Typically stain is less expensive than paint, but paint offers more color options that might better match your aesthetic. No matter what you choose, both options protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear. 

While the answer varies based on weather, 10 a.m. is a good time to start painting. The dew will have dried, meaning there’s no moisture on the house, and the temperature will likely be moderate and the sunlight less direct. Starting mid-morning should also give you enough daylight and pleasant weather to work on the job for several hours.

Routine cleaning, sealing/staining, and inspection prolong deck life and appearance.

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.
