"We had the Geek Squad out 3 times to repair our dishwasher. It was worse after each visit. The 4th time I called them to try and get it done again they said that our warranty had ran out. But 5hat if we wanted to pay them they would come back out. Yeah rite! So we were blessed to be in contact with Bergen Co, LLC. It took him an hour to assess the situation and fix it. We plan to have them back out to do some more work for us."

"Waters custom exteriors was very professional and provided us with pictures as the work was being performed. The job site was cleaned each day. They took great care in protecting our home as all the decking was removed. They did extensive rafter sistering. We are very pleased with the Malarkey roofing materials."

"We researched quite a bit and so knew this was a product/company we wanted to do the work. The sales guy came to give a quote and it took 3 and half hours!!!! He played games, (you get points for being a public servant, nurse, educator, which leads to discounts in some unexplained formula)  he rambled on and on, he had to call his team lead to negotiate price and wait for a call back..  We just wanted a quote!!! He was a really nice guy but my time is so important!  We had to watch the same video we had seen on line when we were researching. 
When it came time to do the work there were delays.  We became the project managers and it took a lot of time.One example is that one day the painters asked my husband what color the ceiling on the porches should be...despite copious notes they had taken they could not figure out that the front porch ceiling was to be white and the back was beige.  My husband, not having written down what I had decided told them the opposite.  So I am not happy about that, but my husband felt it was his fault for telling them wrong...they wrote it down!! (we actually had decided this becuase the sales guy did a big push saying the white would reduce lighting needed on the front porch and we would have less of a need to leave the porch light on at night-so much for that)
The project took so long to be complete that we lost the use of our screened porch for over a month, resulting in cancelling family get togethers we had planned.
I have hybrid roses, and in the video and the sales pitch they go on and on about covering and protecting your plants.  Not so much in actuality. One rose bush was trampled, literally trampled, and the others had broken stems.  My flower garden off the screened porch was trampled to the point the plants died.  When brought to their attention they were sorry. I would have appreciateted some restitution but none was offered.
they were to replace the boot on the porch post, instead replaced the whole post, but did not square it up with the porch. It is off by a 1/4 to 1/2 inch.
Overall the painting looks good, the process was a hassle.  I hope that it lasts, the quality remains to be seen.

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.

Painted decks typically require a new coat about once every ten years. In between new coats, it's best to maintain your deck by regularly removing debris, washing it down with non-abrasive cleaners, and staying ahead of structural issues, such as loose boards and rotting wood. In some cases, painting a small section of your deck affected by damage or the sun can lower your costs and workload.

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.

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.

Satin paint is generally considered a better choice for woodwork—including trim, baseboards, cabinets, and doors—than flatter finishes like eggshell or matte. Its soft sheen enhances architectural details and stands up well to frequent cleaning and daily wear. Compared to eggshell and matte finishes, satin is more durable for high-touch areas because it is less porous and doesn't absorb dirt as easily. Matte finishes, in particular, are prone to scuffs and are harder to clean, making them less practical for surfaces like doors and cabinets.
