Throughout the process, Chris kept me updated and was always available to answer my questions and point out what needed to be done. The prep work was very thorough.

"Roberto and his crew did an outstanding job! We usually do all of our hedge abs shrub trimming ourselves, but with a few other projects going on we hadn’t gotten them all season long and they were seriously overgrown. Since we COULD do it ourselves, we had a limit on what we were willing to pay, so we were getting several quotes … most of which were higher than we had hoped. Roberto worked with us on the pricing, which was good news because now it was off of our plate! His crew was there the early next day … fast, friendly, courteous, conscientious and neat! We are now looking to have Roberto and his crew back to take a few more projects off of our plate too! If you want a great job, at great price, by a great crew … we highly recommend Roberto’s Affordable Lands aping!"

Family run business who are ready to start helping owners create the home they have always wanted! We have over 25 years of experience! We get our jobs done as quickly and as efficiently as possible at a reasonable price! Perfection is what we strive for at all times! Our clients satisfaction is what keeps us going throughout our profession. We use the best of the best painting materials along with the best painting brand " Benjamin Moore". Our company is based out of Northborough & Marlborough Massachusetts but we service all of Massachusetts.

"Chillins Painting & Remodeling – A Total Disaster of a Company If I could give zero stars, I would. Hiring Chillins Painting & Remodeling was an absolute nightmare from start to finish. This company has no business calling themselves professionals. The paint job they rushed through started peeling within days — not months, not weeks, days. Their siding work was just as bad: they dumped the old siding all over our lawn, killed most of our grass, and then acted like it wasn’t their responsibility. We had to beg them to come back just to clean up their own mess. When it came time to actually finish the job, they offered one ridiculous excuse after another — locked keys, injuries, “other jobs” they chose to prioritize instead of ours. Finally, when the owner begrudgingly returned, he tried to shake us down for more money before doing the work we already paid for. That second attempt was just as careless and pathetic as the first, with peeling paint, visible damage to our siding, and yet another pile of unused materials they dumped on our property for us to pay to remove. Chillins Painting & Remodeling is everything you hope to avoid when hiring a contractor: sloppy, dishonest, condescending, and utterly incompetent. They cut corners at every step, treat their customers with disdain, and leave your property in worse condition than when they started. This company is a scam dressed up as a contractor. If you care about your home, your money, or your sanity, stay far, far away from Chillins Painting & Remodeling. They are a complete embarrassment to their trade."

"Bobby was incredibly professional, and did wonderful work. I had a shed that was sagging and had rotted wood. He skillfully replaced all the rotting wood with fresh quality wood, and completely rebuilt the barn doors - I now have custom doors on my shed! He also fixed a broken window pane and installed window sills to keep the wood from rotting again in the future. While he was here, he repaired my fence and also sanded down some doors for me so that I could repaint them. He worked outdoors during our coldest days of the winter: 7 degrees. And he worked when there was a foot of snow in my yard. Just shoveled himself a little path and set up all his work equipment. I couldn't believe he was so dedicated, and that he kept to his schedule despite the crazy weather. He also didn't let me pay him until all the work was done. This guy is a keeper!"

"We hired this company. I don't mind paying but when they missed so many areas. It's very frustrating and I have to finish the job myself. Anthony promised a great job and so didn't Nicole. I sure didn't even get a good job. The hand railings are super rough, and where the pressure washer chewed up the wood it was never fixed. It was definitely a hack job. I was promised over the phone a walk through at the end. It never happened. Couldn't communicate with the workers. I couldn't understand them. Definitely the pictures that they posted on other jobs don't match what I paid for. A very disappointing experience with this company. I would shop around.. plus I included Anthony in the last few emails and he couldn't even respond back. Awful !!! The handrails was addressed in after the power washing. The owner needs to go back and see the truth. I have the email saved!!!! Give me your email and I would be gladly to send it you!! You shouldn't be sparky when your team hacked my deck. I will be re-doing myself. Such a joke of a company."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.

Painted decks typically require a new coat about once every ten years. In between new coats, it's best to maintain your deck by regularly removing debris, washing it down with non-abrasive cleaners, and staying ahead of structural issues, such as loose boards and rotting wood. In some cases, painting a small section of your deck affected by damage or the sun can lower your costs and workload.

When applying multiple coats, wait four to six hours for each coat to dry. Not waiting long enough can result in streaks, peeling, and uneven color. Plus, it will be more difficult to discern where the second coat has already been applied.

You’ll need to restrain your deck when you notice fading, cracking, peeling, or mold and mildew over a moderate to large area, or when it’s become especially difficult to clean. As for how often to stain a deck, plan to do it every two to three years or whenever you start to notice extended damage.

A five-gallon bucket of deck stain will cover roughly 875 square feet in a single coat. Actual coverage will vary based on the type of wood you’re staining and the number of coats. If you plan on doing multiple coats, multiply the square footage by the number of coats to calculate how many buckets of stain you’ll need.
