"I hired them to make some improvements on my screened porch and paint my long-neglected bathroon. They listened and did exactly what I asked of them. The crew took the time to do each task thoroughly and thoughtfully. I am in the midst of a kind of family crisis and they made sure to get the job in the best time. It was a pleasure to have them in my home."

"Was recommended to me by a family member. Job was well done, no mess and very good young man. Seams and mudding were almost flawless and the trims put everything together and made it so much more clean looking. The paint job brought everything together and was done great. Wife was very pleased with the final result. It?s clear they take pride in their work!"

"We hired Steve to paint our living room, dining room, hallway, kitchen, and landing. He showed up on time on the date scheduled, and every day thereafter. The quality of his work was excellent. He was very conscientious and professional. Price was quite reasonable for the amount of work done. He is detail-oriented. We will definitely use Steve for any future painting projects."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Various kinds of substances and deck preservatives act as protective coatings for wood to prevent rot, which is caused by water getting into the wood and creating cracks and splits. Stains, paints, and sealants are the three best options to protect your wood, but there are also oils, varnishes, and waxes available. You’ll need to reapply sealant at least once per year, and you should inspect your wood deck regularly to look for signs of damage or general wear and tear.

The opposite is actually true: Wood stains tend to appear lighter when they’re fully dry. However, stains may darken as they weather and oxidize with age. Stains might also darken on surfaces left in direct sunlight, as UV rays can break down pigment particles and cause them to darken over time.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.

Yes, you must thoroughly clean your deck before staining. If you don't, dirt, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped between the wood and the new stain. This not only looks unsightly but also prevents the stain from penetrating the wood properly, reducing its ability to protect the deck from weather and UV rays. As a result, the stain won't last as long or look as good. Any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning for the wood to dry completely before applying stain.
