"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."

"Henio and Kesley from Top Painting were amazing. I talked to several companies before hiring them and was not confident with the information I received from others. I knew I wanted to hire Top Painting within minutes of talking to them. They came to my condo, examined the job and explained in great detail what would be required to complete the project so that it would not only look good in the short term, but last for the long haul. The condo I bought was in pretty awful condition. It used to be an old hotel room and so had commercial grade vinyl wallpaper on the walls which was coated with layers and layers of old paint and reeked of cigarette smoke and other bad smells. The popcorn ceiling was smoke-stained and yellowed, as well. I was warned by the condo association and other owners in the building not to attempt to remove the wallpaper because of the industrial grade glue and the damage to the walls underneath, but I was determined to make this happen and Henio and Kesley inspired confidence. They acknowledged the difficulty and explained everything it would take to make it happen. They removed the wall paper, painstakingly removed all of the commercial grade glue, fixed the walls, re-plastered, filled holes in the baseboards, etc. The final product was a beautifully painted condo which not only looks amazing but also smells fresh and clean. Henio and Kesley were very responsive. They sent me progress videos when I was unable to come to the condo to see the project. They always responded to calls and texts in a timely manner. They showed up when they said they would and they even finished the job several days earlier than they projected which was a wonderful surprise. The building manager told me that they were incredibly respectful, professional, quiet and wonderful to work with. He has been managing this condo building for over 25 years and told me that most contractors were incredibly hard to deal with but that Top Painting was a breath of fresh air. Henio and Kesley went above and beyond during this project. There were many things on my list to do after the painting was completed, such as fixing the track for the blinds that was falling out of the ceiling and replacing one of the large blinds which had fallen off the contraption. To my surprise and delight, Kesley and Henio fixed these things for me as they replaced everything after finishing the job. They could have just put it back the way they found it and I still would have given them a glowing review. After all, I hired them for the walls, not these other things. But they went above and beyond and left my condo far better than they found it. The walls look amazing and I am confident that the work is durable and will last. I can't recommend Top Painting highly enough!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

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.

It’s best to use an exterior latex acrylic paint to promote maximum adhesion to composite decking. This flexible paint type can better cope with the natural expansion and contraction that can occur with composite deck boards. Oil-based paints won’t adhere as effectively and are more likely to crack and peel as the boards flex. Testing whether your chosen paint will stick on an inconspicuous section or a spare board is a good idea.

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must. 

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.
