"Andy did an outstanding of stripping 150 years of paint off the Marshall Point Light in Port Clyde, Maine. The metal was taken down to bright with all paint and extensive rust being removed. This was coordinated with the painters who primed it as soon as it dried. All residue was caught and collected in tarps for proper disposal. No dust was produced. The brickworks and granite blocks were also cleaned down to original surface for priming and recoating. The job was completed timely despite inclement weather. I highly recommend Andy and Aqua Terra for any such project."

"The man is gifted, painted my whole house free hand, no blue tape. Has been installing floors for me from the first floor, working our way up to the third. He is a beast. Always on time and very efficient. Gets things done quick! Would recommend him to do any job you need done at home."

"Everything went wonderfully with this company.  They were very professional, listened to exactly what my problem was, and explained to me how they were going to diagnose the problem and/or solve it before doing any actual work.  Once they started, the team (three people came) worked together like a well-oiled machine.  One was in the room with diagnostics, one was at the fuse box looking for possible problems there, and the third went into the crawlspace beneath our house to look at the physical wiring.  Once the problem was found (there was a faulty wire beneath the house that had come loose from the junction box), it was fixed and tested within minutes and another full diagnostic was done to make sure there were no other possible issues.  They cleaned up after themselves very neatly.  They also replaced the light switch with a dimmer switch at no extra cost!  Well within my budget, and came in even lower than their original (FREE) estimate!  I would highly recommend this company to anyone in the Bergen County area.

"I had been looking to replace a leaky metal roof on an old barn my wife
had converted to use as her art studio.  The existing roof was an
exposed  fastener, reversed box rib pattern.  The roof support was open
purlins on 2x6 rafters spaced 24 inches on center.  We liked and wanted to
retain the metal roof feature of the building.
Almost all the roofers I talked to wanted to install a standing seam or
similar concealed fastener roof, which, in addition to being way more
expensive, would have required installation of a solid deck, likely
exceeding the design capacity of the existing rafters.  Few were
experienced and familiar with the type of roof we wanted.
Of the three estimates for an exposed fastener roof I was able to get,
Chris' was the most reasonable.  In addition, he was prompt in getting
out to look at the property and give an estimate, and personable and
professional in demeanor.  He did the job exactly when he said he would,
and the materials and workmanship were excellent.  Communicating with
him throughout the project was easy.
In summary, this was an outstanding experience with a professional and
knowledgeable contractor.  I would not hesitate to call on his services
again, or to recommend him to others.

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

You don’t necessarily have to remove all the old paint before repainting your deck, but it’s best to remove as much as possible to ensure a smooth and long-lasting finish. Prioritize scraping off loose, peeling, or flaking paint, and sand down rough areas to create a smooth surface for the new paint to bond with.

Wood stain is not flammable after it dries. The solvent in wood stain is what causes the liquid form to be highly flammable, but the stain drying process involves the solvents dissolving, which leaves behind a non-flammable product on your wood project. Wood stain is, however, flammable before you apply it, so you should always store partially full cans and used wood stain rags away from sources of heat and open flames.

Hangers are one way of attaching stair stringers to a deck. These metal hangers are usually adjustable, allowing you to find the ideal angle for a secure installation. They’re the best choice for installing longer staircases, such as one on a two-story deck, to reduce the load on the deck frame while keeping the stairs stable.

The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage. 

Oxygen bleach uses hydrogen peroxide as a base and won’t harm wood when using it as a cleaner. On the other hand, chlorine bleach breaks down wood at the cellular level and causes irreversible harm. Although you may not see immediate damage to wood after exposing it to chlorine bleach, its strength and integrity are now compromised.
