"After submitting a request about my project, Terry reached out to me immediately. I was looking for help with my very small useless front yard after I attempted my own design that ended up in a big mess. He came by and looked at the area and was in contact with me while brainstorming some ideas on how he could transform my small area into something that would be low to no maintenance. The crew surpassed expectations. They created more than only curbing for me, they created a complete design and I haven't even put my finishing touches on it and my neighbor's are admiring the work. Contacting Terry was simple and he was honest and easy to work with. He went above and beyond and answered all of my questions. Whether you are looking for someone to help with a large project or a small one, you should give him a call. I was concerned my project would be too small and possibly not worth his time but he made me feel like I was just as important as any other job he had going on. The quality of the work speaks for itself. I highly recommend Curb Appeal for enhacing your outdoor spaces!"

"The work I got for the value was great. Other contractors wanted to charge $750 or more for this small repair I needed. These guys only charge what they think is fair for the amount and type of labor they do. I paid less than half what everyone else was going to charge me. I highly recommend them to anyone."

"I enjoyed working with Eric from Freeman's Handyman Service. Eric was able to get to my fence repair within 48 hours. I requested him to repair the fence as is so I can maintain the same look he did just that. I am pleased with his service and workmanship."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

Avoid using cleaning products that are abrasive or contain bleach or acidic components on composite decking to avoid discoloration. Early-generation Trex decking isn’t designed to handle pressure washer cleaning—and if you use them on second-generation boards, always use a low setting to avoid the risk of damage that can risk voiding your warranty.

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

Staining a deck is typically less expensive upfront than painting. The cost to stain a deck professionally averages around $850, with most homeowners paying between $550 and $1,250, depending on the deck's size. A DIY staining project can cost less than $100. The cost to paint a deck ranges from $500 to $2,000. While the initial cost of staining is lower, it's important to consider long-term expenses. Paint can last up to 10 years, whereas stain needs to be reapplied every few years, which could lead to higher costs over time.

Deciding whether to stain or paint a pool deck depends on your budget, desired look, and the deck's material. Both options can work. Paint offers a wider variety of color options, provides excellent water resistance, and can last longer. However, it requires a primer and can eventually fade or peel. Stain is often cheaper, easier to apply, and penetrates the wood for a more natural look and longer-lasting finish. It also has great water resistance. The downsides are fewer color options and the need for a sealant. The choice can also depend on the deck material; for example, staining may be a better option for concrete as it bonds well and lasts longer than paint.
