"Andy did an excellent job of cleaning 20 years of bottom paint off the bottom of my 21 foot fiberglass boat. Paint was removed to the boot stripe and there was no damage to the glass. The work was completed in my yard which was left clean with no residue. Great job"
"They were very reasonable, most competitive price by far. I would definitely hire them again in the future for any painting work I need. I was very pleased with the service provided."
"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. "
"They were excellent, I would highly recommend. Everyone was very professional and showed up right when they said they would. They were gentle and everything arrived intact. They had us on the road in no time."
"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. "

It’s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that’s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat.
The plastic in composite decking boards protects them enough that you do not need to paint them to prevent warping. In fact, painting composite decking voids the warranty of some manufacturers. Painting can also increase maintenance on the deck, as you must paint regularly to keep it looking its best.
You’ll need to restrain your deck when you notice fading, cracking, peeling, or mold and mildew over a moderate to large area, or when it’s become especially difficult to clean. As for how often to stain a deck, plan to do it every two to three years or whenever you start to notice extended damage.
It’s often best to spray on deck sealer. Sprayers can apply sealant more quickly and evenly than rolling while still enabling you to reach tight spaces. When using a sprayer, always use a low-pressure setting at a close distance to ensure an even application. Avoid using sprayers on windy days.
Costs depend on coating type, labor, site preparation, and required finishes.
