"His work was outstanding in all respects. He was completely trustworthy.  His price was right in the middle of all the estimates I got. In my case he stuck to his estimate but he didn't find any unexpected damage while he was working either. He did the job in 4 hours less than quoted maximum time frame. I'd have no hesitation in recommending his services are using his services again.

Mr. Thomas answered my voice mail request and came to our house for an estimate the same day I placed a call to his business. He gave us a good price that included 2 coats of paint and some repair work.   We signed a contract and he left paint palettes with available colors and gave us plenty of time to chose.  Then he stopped and placed samples of the colors we chose on the walls.  I decided one color (I had chosen) was too dark and he went right to the paint store and brought back my 2nd choice to put on the wall. 

Mr. Thomas and his crew painted 7 rooms in our home in 4 different colors.  They moved furniture out and back, covered up everything, tried to minimize the disruption to our lives as best as possible, and finished the job much earlier than originally estimated.  There was a glitch with one color as I had written down the wrong number for the paint but Mr. Thomas just went and got the color I wanted without a fuss.  Our home looks beautiful! 

Mr. Thomas and his assistant Dwight did an excellent job of painting.  They showed up on time and worked hard all day.   They were nice guys and very professional.  They were kind to our pets who were wandering around.  Mr. Thomas kept us informed of his plans each day.   Cleanup was meticulous at the end of each day. 

If you need painters and want it done right, call Mr. Thomas.  We will definitely call him when it's time to paint the ceilings and trim. He also does power washing so we plan to call him to clean our deck.

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

The best way to protect a deck is to prevent damage from UV light, water, mold, mildew, insects, and abrasive cleaning methods. Sweep regularly to prevent debris that hides bugs and traps moisture that can result in mold or mildew growth. Use a deck cleaner once a year to remove algae, mold, and mildew. Avoid using pressure washers on high, as they can damage the wood. Applying a deck sealant can protect the wood from UV and water damage, and adding shade can also reduce sunlight damage.

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

Avoid using cleaning products that are abrasive or contain bleach or acidic components on composite decking to avoid discoloration. Early-generation Trex decking isn’t designed to handle pressure washer cleaning—and if you use them on second-generation boards, always use a low setting to avoid the risk of damage that can risk voiding your warranty.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.

Beyond liquid rubber, homeowners can use sealants, stains, membranes, or tapes as waterproofing options. Oil-based or water-based sealants soak into the wood, creating a moisture-resistant barrier. Waterproofing stains—available in transparent, semi-transparent, and solid colors—add both protection and style to your deck. For heavy-duty waterproofing, deck membranes and waterproof tapes can be applied under the deck boards to direct water away from the structure below. Whatever method you choose, clean and prep the deck first to ensure the best, longest-lasting results.
