"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

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.

No, it is not okay to paint over rotted wood. Painting over rotted wood will not address the underlying issue and can trap moisture, leading to further decay. Properly addressing the rotted wood by removing and replacing or repairing the damaged areas is necessary before you can even consider painting.

If you don’t treat a cedar fence, it will turn from reddish brown to gray over time. You can keep the cedar from graying and retain its attractive, deep red color by sealing your cedar fence with a stain that keeps the wood’s oils in and serves as a barrier against the sun’s UV rays.

If you have wood decking, there are several common deck problems that you might encounter. For example, your natural wood boards may fade over time due to things like sunlight, weather, and debris. On top of that, some types of wood decking can rot, grow mold, and attract destructive pests—including termites, carpenter ants, and woodpeckers.

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place.
