Q: How do you change the color of cinder blocks?

• <div><p>You may be wondering: <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-often-should-i-paint-my-fiber-cement-siding.htm">can you paint cement</a>? Fortunately, the answer is yes.</p><p>To change the color of your cinder blocks, you have two options. You can either paint them or stain them. Either way, you'll be able to choose from a wide range of color options. Some popular colors for cinder block painting include off-white shades and gray tones, which add a modern spin to the traditional gray blocks.</p></div>

Q: How long will limewash last?

• <div><p>How long limewash will last depends on the quality of the application and the porosity of the surface. For example, a limewash on brick will last five to seven years. If it's a home exterior application, exposure to specific weather conditions is also a factor. Limewash tends to develop a patina over time, and its natural look masks damage and imperfections well. </p></div>

Q: How long does Ipe wood last?

• <div><p>Ipe wood can last up to 75 years with minimal maintenance because its own oils help to preserve it. However, to get the most out of your Ipe wood deck, you should perform some routine maintenance, including regular cleaning, sweeping of leaves and debris, and rinsing spills with a hose. It&rsquo;s also important to repair any deep scratches as soon as you spot them and reseal the deck annually to protect against scratches and scuffs. </p></div>

Q: Should I stain my deck with a brush or rag?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Does wood stain go bad?

• <div><p>Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years. </p></div>

Clyde’s did a horrible job on my roof and gutters, did not complete the job, did not meet their contract, and have never called me back. They are also NOT BBB certified. I do not recommend any of their services. I signed a contract with Clyde’s on 6/9/2023 to have my gutters and roof replaced....

They showed up when they said they would and listened to my changes during the building of my decks. They gave an honest estimate and did the job correctly and right on budget

Great. Nuwood Works stained our cabin and deck a short time ago. Great quality work done in a timely manner. I just had them stain our recently completed utility building as well. I highly recommend them.

Tim and his team removed three trees from my backyard. I was amazed at how tidy they left the yard and my deck. I would use this company again, and recommend them.

Very nice guy. But job was not completed. Miscalculated the required materials needed to finish the job correctly. We were then told it would cost more to complete to our satisfaction. We offered to pay for more materials, but were told that labor would be even more. In the end our deck was...

Jerry is a very nice guy. He seems to really like what he does, but the quality of the work is where things go down hill. The job was supposed to take 4 to 5 days. He and his guys (both are son in-laws from what I recall) would show up on time but always be in a hurry to leave by 2 or 3pm....

WORST Inspection EVER!!! The guy literally told us (in front of the homeowners) that there were only three things that he found. A window in the garage (we'd likely never use) needed the spring fixed to ensure it stayed open, the hand rail on the deck was too big to consider "graspable", and the...

"Very friendly and polite. He did an excellent job. We thought we would have to replace all our gutters because they were stained up and black but he assured us he could get them clean, as well as all of our siding, shutters and brick. They all looked brand new when he was finished. He also protected all my landscaping before he started."
