"Tux restained our property in Bridgton in the summer of 2025. He did an amazing job preparing the house for the stain, having to sand the entire house. He also changed the color of the trim, which also required multiple coats. We couldn't have been happier with his work and the outcome!"

I have worked in the trades for almost 40 years and am currently renovating my 3rd 100 year old home in the greater Portland area.\nAfter that many homes and countless other projects over the years, i have become proficient and confident in almost every aspect of home building, renovating, and remodeling.\nBig or small, my attention to detail and ability to communicate clearly with my clients has allowed me to keep a steady workload based almost entirely on repeat calls.\nThat said, i am always excited to meet new challenges, learn new skills, and add more happy customers to my base.

"I hired Jev Jesjunins as general contractor/project manager to renovate and rebuild a mid-1950’s ranch home in Portland which had not been updated since initial construction. During the process we discovered many unanticipated problems from leaking pipes and leaking basement walls to seemingly unending roadblocks with the City's building department. All issues were resolved in a highly professional and efficient manner. In addition to managing the project and working with subcontractors, Jev’s company was directly involved in rough and finished carpentry, sheetrock hanging/finishing, windows/doors installation, insulation, building the garage and mudroom, front porch, and back deck. His company also handled gutters installation; interior and exterior painting and various handyman projects. Jev was also a great partner in questions of design. I would like to emphasize the great result of my new three bathrooms (there was originally only one). They are pieces of art. Jev's crew which includes a designer, plumbers, electricians, cabinet makers, and tile installers created outstanding looking bathrooms with lots of unique fixtures - steam/shower cabin, jacuzzi, heated floors, smart toilets, unique selection of floor and wall tiles, closets, and shelving."

""Hire a professional painter " my Sister in law said . And it was the best decision I have ever made. I made the call and Nick was there that evening. NV'S professional painting went above and beyond everything I expected. It's clear that they have a very strong work ethic and expertise of the subject matter. They answered all of my questions before, during and after the job was done. It's amazing how a coat of fresh paint just brings your home to life. There's just not enough adjectives to describe NV'S professional painting. It all was done efficiently. Furniture was moved and covered. They care for your home as if it were there own home and personal belongings. They worked coherently like well oiled machinery. They all communicated amongst themselves and always had a plan for the day. There were other small items that needed to be addressed in the house like painting the base boards and trim that needed to be replaced. So, NV'S is not just for painting. Whatever the job may be, it's definitely done with precision and expertise. Nick stands behind his work and promises to make it right if you are not completely happy with the job in any way. I am very pleased with NV'S professional painting and will very likely ask for them to return to repair and repaint the decking.. A " heartfelt " Thank you to Nick, Jerad and Roger for a job well done. I appreciate all you've done. My home looks like a new box of crayons."

"When you are from away finding the right person for the job can be a difficult process. Trusting someone to care for your home, maintain the highest level of pride and quality of workmanship, and get the job done in a timely manner while you are hundreds of miles away can be an almost impossible task. However, twenty-five years ago a younger Michael Pellitier was part of the painting team working on our first home in Newry. When Mike created his own company he became our go-to guy for all of our painting needs. Most recently our current home needed substainal work including exterior and interior painting, replacement of structural decorative columns and pedestals and replacement of 20% of the mahogony decking of our porch. Clean Cut worked hand-in-hand with our contractor and provided a result that was beyond our expectations. Throughout the process Mike was available to discuss issues or questions that I may have had and reached out to me for updates, coordination and questions that he had. Our Five Star rating is truely that - a recommendation of excellence, total trust and satisfaction."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

It is not always necessary to remove old stain before restaining a deck. If the previous stain is in good condition and is compatible with the new stain, you may be able to apply a new coat after thorough cleaning. However, if the old stain is in bad condition, flaking, or peeling, it is best to remove it completely to ensure an even surface and proper adhesion for the new coat. Staining over a damaged layer can lead to an uneven finish and poor penetration. For best results, test a small area first and consult the stain manufacturer's guidelines.

You can paint over old paint on a concrete porch. For the best results, you should first clean the surface and remove as much paint as you can. A power washer is helpful here, but you’ll also want to scrape as much of the old paint away as possible. Then you should prime the porch before repainting it.

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

The best exterior paint for the job of painting your front porch depends on the material you’ll be painting. Acrylic paint is often recommended for a wooden porch as it’s durable and easy to apply. If your porch is made of concrete, you’ll need to find a formula suited to that material.

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.
