"We had Phil from Rafferty Painting here for the last 1.5 days. He made a 5 sided angular box around a fire sprinkler head, covered it with drywall and painted it to perfectly match the wall. He then fixed cracks in the ceiling and painted it to match.(others said it couldn't be matched). He arrived on time, cleaned up after himself and was very friendly and courteous. The final price was comparable to estimates from other contractors and we are happy with his work.

"Emerson Paints: All Sales, No Service If you’re considering Emerson Paints, let me save you the trouble: don’t. I responded to one of their Instagram ads and was immediately bombarded with phone calls—relentlessly. Once I was ready, I called back and scheduled a free estimate. The sales rep they sent was personable, knowledgeable, and assured me he’d been with the company for ten years. That part actually felt promising. He gave us three tiers of service, and my husband and I chose the middle option. I even went to the paint store the next morning to pick out my color. I texted him with my selection and… crickets. Days passed. I followed up. He apologized and promised to get back to me. He didn’t. Eventually, I called the office directly, only to find out we weren’t even on the schedule. That’s when the owner stepped in—sounding every bit the overpromising, fast-talking salesman you hope never to deal with. He assured me we’d be fit in the following week and that he was “putting his very best guy on it.” Then the day arrived… and a truck pulled up with a completely different company name and logo on it. Turns out, Emerson subcontracted the work without telling me. Not even a mention. Total bait and switch. To make matters worse, the sales rep had promised I wouldn’t have to prep anything in my kitchen. But when I asked the owner, I was suddenly responsible for clearing countertops and emptying the front of all my cabinets. My kitchen was a disaster zone for a week—all based on bad information. Then came the most unbelievable part: on day two of the project, an Emerson employee came to "check on things"—and let himself into my home. No knock. No doorbell. No hello. Just strolled right in like it was his place. I was stunned. The one saving grace? The subcontracted crew was excellent. They were professional, efficient, and lovely to work with. I would’ve happily hired them directly—for a likely much lower price—if Emerson hadn’t been the middleman. (Message me if you want their name; they were fantastic.) Emerson Paints, on the other hand? Not a single follow-up. No call to see how the job went. Nothing. Their last contact with me was their guy walking uninvited into my house. Bottom line: Emerson Paints is overpriced, unreliable, and dishonest. I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone."

FAQs for deck maintenance projects in Smithsburg, MD

There are a few ways to make your deck look new without professional power washing. First, you can use either store-bought cleaners or dish soap and water to mop your deck regularly to clean off accumulated dirt. To clean your deck and remove mold, mix two gallons of warm water with a ½ cup of distilled white vinegar or apple cider vinegar, rinse the area, and then scrub with a stiff-bristled broom.

The cost to professionally pressure wash your deck is $150 on average. This cost can range from $100 to $600, depending on the size of your deck and its condition. 

For an average deck of about 300 square feet, you can expect to pay around $100. However, if you have a spacious 1,000-square-foot deck or more, expect that cost to be closer to $300 to $400. Likewise, if it’s been a long time since you deep cleaned your deck, the deck professional might need extra time and to use deck-specific detergent, which will increase the overall cost.

You should have your deck professionally cleaned twice a year—once in the spring and once in the fall. A springtime cleaning wipes away grime and mold that accumulated during the wet winter months, making it sparkly clean for summer use. Likewise, cleaning your deck in the fall allows you to wash away grease and leftover mess from the fun summer months rather than letting them soak into your deck over the winter.

Yes, you need to thoroughly clean the deck surface before staining your deck. Dirt, debris, and mildew can settle on the surface of your wood. If you do not properly clean it, these stains will get trapped between the wood and the stain. Not only does this present an unsightly surface, but your wood will only partially be protected by the stain, meaning you'll need to stain again sooner.

There are ways to clean your deck to help maintain a clean appearance. You can easily remove surface-level dirt and grime by wetting your deck with a hose and doing a quick scrub with store-bought deck cleaner monthly. 

However, investing in professional deck cleaning services near you at least twice a year is worth it. This service saves you time and ensures that your deck will avoid accidentally becoming scratched by blasting the pressure washer at the wrong angle.
