"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

Yes, you must thoroughly clean your deck before staining. If you don't, dirt, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped between the wood and the new stain. This not only looks unsightly but also prevents the stain from penetrating the wood properly, reducing its ability to protect the deck from weather and UV rays. As a result, the stain won't last as long or look as good. Any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning for the wood to dry completely before applying stain.

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.

Hot, intense sunshine can cause your stain to dry too quickly, which could lead it to look uneven or patchy. If you’re staining the deck during hotter months, it’s best to do it in the morning or evening once the wood has had time to cool down. If you’re staining in cooler weather with less sunshine, the time of day won’t make as much of a difference.

If your biggest concern is making sure your deck doesn’t show dirt, opt for a darker neutral color that blends in well with your surrounding landscape. A rich brown or dark grey are both good options that work with a variety of house colors. A high-quality acrylic paint is easy to clean and maintain, so it might be worth spending the money on.

Limewash and whitewash do not harm surfaces if you apply them correctly. Use on non-suitable surfaces can cause issues. For instance, applying limewash or whitewash to surfaces with existing sealants or incompatible materials may lead to poor adhesion or flaking. Also, harsh cleaning agents on limewashed or whitewashed surfaces can damage the finish. Proper preparation, application, and maintenance ensure that limewash and whitewash do not harm surfaces.
