"I recently had my shingle roof replaced and I?m very happy with the results. The team was professional, punctual, and completed the job efficiently. The quality of the work is excellent, and the new roof looks great. They kept the work area clean and communicated well throughout the process. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a roof replacement."

"Andrew Wells has been a gift from God for my dire situation. I have an extremely old house which needs extensive repairs, and through Home Advisor's recommendation I hired Andrew Wells to repair numerous holes in the soffit to prevent bats and squirrels from entering my attic. So far, he has done an incredible job! I am so impressed by his honesty and devotion and reasonable prices that I intend to hire him for future repairs/work. He truly is a blessing to the field of contracting and I am most grateful that I found him through Home Advisor. Thank you!!!"

"Job the got done for a reasonable price, but a lot of cleanup and touch-ups have been required. Also missed a bunch of areas, mostly the sides of door frames. The "crew" also consisted of just one person, for most of the time. The project, instead of lasting one week, as originally scoped, ended up lasting three. Nice people, though."

"Yes the work was done. The two guys that came put in 7 windows and two big bay windows in one day. They did not even taken a break. They cleaned up the small pieces of scrap. Then one week later they came back and put in two new doors with the same professionalism when they did my doors."

"It was really good. He spent a lot of time on the project. It was more challenging because we were out of town while the work was done, but he spend a lot of time talking about what we wanted and coming up with ideas."

"It seemed to go just fine until it came time for Matt to remember that he still needed to stain the deck. The work was completed at the end of October 2024. He told me that staining would have to come once the snow had melted. I didn't have a problem with that and paid him. I had his word in text that he'd return to finish. I contacted hime on June 21, 2025 to ask him when they would be doing the staining. He said that he that the job was complete. I reminded him that he said he'd stain once the snow was finished. He said he'd check the invoice and get back to me. I told him ok and that I had all of our text messages saved and could send him a copy of that as well. He never responded. On June 25, 2025, since I hadn't heard anything from him yet, I sent him a text message asking him if he'd reviewed the invoice and no response. I sent a copy of the same text on June 28, 2025 and he responded with a yes they will do it but I had to be scheduled in due to the job he was currently working on. I said not a problem as long as it gets done. He told me he'd reach out in a few days to schedule. I didn't hear from him. On July 15, 2025 and July 18, 2025, I sent him the same text message asking him when they'd be able to get to the deck and that some parts were loose. He didn't respond until the July 18th. text and said he'd be there next Thursday, July 24, 2025, and I said ok. He never showed and never communicated that he wasn't coming. I called him on Friday, July 25, 2025 asking about the no show and could he please get in touch with me. No response. I called again on July 28, 2025 and left a message. He still hasn't responded."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

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.

Yes, it is important to wash your deck before painting to ensure the paint applies well and adheres properly. While you don't have to use a pressure washer, it is one of the most efficient cleaning methods. Pressure washing can quickly remove dirt, wood fibers, and flaked paint, getting deeper into the wood than manual scrubbing. You can also clean the deck with a stiff broom and a cleaning solution. Regardless of the method, a clean surface is essential for good paint adhesion. Make sure the deck is completely dry before applying any paint.

Yes, staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan, typically by five to 10 years. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and rot over time. Applying a treatment creates a protective shield that helps prevent splintering, fading, and decay, preserving the wood's strength and appearance. A combination stain and sealer often provides the best protection, as it soaks into the wood grain rather than just sitting on top. This offers superior defense against UV damage and rot and lasts longer than a sealer alone. To maintain the wood's natural look, consider using a near-translucent stain. You should plan to reapply the stain or sealer every two to three years.

DIY is possible but presents risks of uneven surfaces or improper adhesion; professionals offer expertise to ensure a lasting finish.
