Get matched with top deck staining pros in Brooklandville, MD

"We had a fabulous experience with Spiro's. Spiro and his son, Dionysios, came out to my at the scheduled time for a free estimate, went over my expectations and their suggestions in detail, and provided a quote. The price was little more than I originally hoped to pay for painting, but after going over all the work that would have to be done because of the space and different materials in the room (for example, prepping/sanding of shelves), it seemed fair. In fact, I don't think I would have gotten a much better price from anyone else who would have done the job right. They were able to come to my house less than a week after providing the quote, and showed up on time with a team of three (Spiro, Jose, and Leo). They got the whole job done in one day and it looks AMAZING. My basement, which previously looked like a half-finished dungeon, now looks light and airy, and like a cozy, finished space that we can use as a den/playroom. It's amazing what a really good paint job can do! They even got my bookshelves (which had been partially destroyed by the waterproofers who had to jackhammer through the floor underneath them) looking great again. They were such a nice team of guys and on top of that, Spiro insisted that we try some of his delicious homemade Greek lunch with us, which was delicious. My 1 year old twins gobbled up that phyllo dish so fast, they barely came up for air! I would absolutely hire this company again for painting. They were professional, warm and friendly, and extremely skilled. Thanks, guys!"

"Awesome! The recognized that the deck is mahagoney and wouldn’t hold a solid stain. They worked w sherwin Williams to determine the best solution, and knocked it out."

"Job was bid as 2 days, prime bare wood, paint 2 coats enamel. Price seemed fair for that work. The good: workers on-time and pleasant, all surfaces were well sanded, final finish looks good. The uncertainties: no primer in sight. Asked painter and he said primer only used on new cabinets not repaint jobs. There was some pealing and bare wood exposed on cabinet doors. Enamel paint can says to prime bare wood before top coat. Job bid for 2 days and finished in 6 hours because they only allowed 30 minutes drying between enamel coats. Paint can says dry 4 hours between coats. Maybe will be OK because it was a warm dry day. Won't really know if job will stand up for a couple years. Based on 3 workers for 6 hours, allowing $100 for paint that works out to over $90 an hour. Even with overhead that seems excessive and I feel like I am overpaying for what actually occurred as opposed to what was bid."

"J painting painted the interior of my 2800 square-foot house with a finished basement. They did an excellent job high level of attention to detail. Did the job in only four days. I am very happy with the finished project. I will be thinking of them for my next house maintenance project."

"Marathon Painting & Staining did a fantastic job painting my exterior block foundation walls and three exterior porches. I met at the house with Bob, who is very professional and pleasant, as we discussed the work and schedule. The painters arrived as expected and were prompt, courteous and professional. The result far exceeded my expectation. Marathon transformed my house into a real gem. Bob and the painter returned to check the work and make sure I was pleased with the job. I highly recommend Marathon Painting & Staining and would certainty hire them again."

"They did a great job with the power wash of my patio and deck. They then painted the deck and I love the color and finished look. They also painted the shutters on the front of my  house which also turned out looking really good. I plan to hire them this spring to paint my hallway. They are so professional and very friendly. Look folks, they go above and beyond and are worth every penny! I highly recommend them!"

"Excellent! Very fast and extremely Knowledgeable-I really like the fact that they focus only on roofing and they just they didn’t just come out and inspect the air my roof water was leaking inside the interior they went inside to actually see the water stain to see exactly what needs to be repaired. Most importantly they focused on repairing the area requested versus other companies who oppression me to replace the entire roof Versus focusing on the area with the issue"

"Cleveland Gordon did an excellent job. He showed up when he said he would, gave me good advice, priced my job fairly, left my deck looking great and well-protected for the winter, and has a delightful personality to boot. I have already recommended him to several friends and neighbors."

"We have been looking for someone to take on our roofing and wall repair project for over a year and a half. Finding John is honestly one of the best things that's happened to us since moving into our home. It's hard to find someone who does high quality roofing and masonry repairs, uses high quality materials, is easy to communicate with. John checks all the boxes. A+ When I inquire for an estimate and service in a voice message, John reached out to me the very same day. He was extremely detail-oriented and picked up on all sorts of little things. He was professional and really knows what he is doing. There were at times I didn't what was needed for our roof but John was right there for us like our skylights needed flashing and one of the vents needed to be replaced. John cares about my home like it's his! He went out of his way to custom order shingles I liked. Once installed, we couldn't be more happy how well it looks for our home. Working along with John is his brother Dan who did a fantastic job in making sure our wall repairs were done right. A real solid person. Before leaving the finished wall repair job, Dan walked to every repair spot to see if everything is ok and even asked us if there is we wanted him to take a look at. A+ We are really grateful to have found John and look forward to working with him on future projects."

"I want to start off stating that I knew this was a complicated job due to the multiple locations needing to be addressed in different manners. Anthony was very accommodating, professional, and responsible. Even when Anthony had a medical reason to not be involved in managing, he was. The overall grade, however, would be a B-. I would still use them again and recommend their use.
At first, I thought I found our handymen for the rest of our projects. I told Anthony the issues in COMPLETENESS OF WORK with other contractors, and was assured there is no problem here.
My wife and I were told that the entire job would be completed in 3 days. I expected a week, but it ended up being 2 weeks and a day.  Communication was a challenge on both my end and theirs. There were times when I talked to Anthony about specifics and details that we had agreed on, but when the working crew came, there was a misunderstanding. For example, I wanted all doors to be painted semi-gloss white. When the job was done, I noticed the doors were only painted on the front (facing the hall). I was told that is what they usually do when painting doors, but I thought it was understood that painting the door is the entire door. A misunderstanding that was solved once it was brought up. We also had some issues in cabinet painting as the doors were closed before fully drying. When opened, paint was removed. This was brought up and was grossly resolved.
Here is a summary of the work:
Hardwood flooring-Looks great but had issues with the staining of the stair nose. This was corrected. They had to do a lot of work securing the sub-floor, which I thought meant silencing creaks. One creak was fixed and the other is right at the base of my stairwell. I was told this is due to the beams in my home, but they would check. I asked later about it as I still heard the noise and didn't notice anything to suggest the wood was taken up for the problem to be checked, but was told it was inspected and is the beam...
Painting in home-Walls and ceiling are great but doors and molding look like spots were missed.
Staining/painting of banisters-We have dark on top and bottom with white spindles. We had an issue with drying time and drip spots but was ultimately resolved. Looks great. Stains from banisters were noticed elsewhere in the house like on doors.
Kitchen cabinet-there was some back and forth with this because of the peeling of paint. Even when pointed out, not all was resolved. We also agreed to the painting and install of about 2 ft of crown molding on the top of a cabinet where it was missing, but this was not done.
The quality of work was ok, as I had to point out issues that needed to be resolved, and some were not. It got to the point where my wife and I were just ready to be finished with the entire process. Overall, the grade is a B- because of this and because the work was not as thorough as I had expected. Today I even went over some things that weren't fully completed and cleaning carpet from shoe stains.
 I reached out to Anthony for another job involving the installation of a pedestal sink, and painting plus installing shoe molding and 1/2 rounds. This is the powder room I had hardwood installed also, but when the sink/vanity was removed, some of the molding and rounds were not painted or installed on the sides after being told we were acquiring a pedestal sink for the room. I wanted to use Tony Touch again because I believe they have a great rep and maybe the communication was the predominant issue with my job. And he does work with you.
I just suggest being very detailed and descriptive when getting a quote for a job, ask questions, and inspect the work.
