"Clean Cut Painting applied a concrete floor coating in my garage, and I?m really impressed with the outcome. The team worked efficiently and made sure every detail was done properly. The surface looks clean, glossy, and very durable. It has completely improved the look of the space. I would definitely recommend their service to anyone considering floor coating."

"Wonderful experience with OC Construction! Wallpaper was removed quickly. Patching & painting was then performed and looks wonderful. We unfortunately had to delay the project multiple times after wallpaper removal & patching due to our project & railing replacement. OC was “extremely” understanding to say the least. They were so accommodating. Would definitely hire & work with them again. Highly recommend!!"

"This was the BEST company I have ever hired!! Glen and his crew were on time every single day and were willing to work as late as I asked them to. They did an amazing job remodeling my entire house to get it ready to sell. I will absolutely be calling them to remodel my new home. 5 stars is not enough to give them for going above and beyond my expectations!!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Liquid rubber is great for waterproofing, but it can damage your deck if it’s not applied correctly. First, it can trap moisture in the wood if the deck isn’t completely dry before application.  Second, applying it too thickly can create a heavy, rubbery surface layer that peels and cracks under fluctuating temperatures. For the best results, ensure the wood is completely dry before application, and apply the liquid rubber in thin, even coats. A quick inspection every now and then will help you catch any issues early, keeping your deck protected and looking its best.

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.

For the longest-lasting exterior paint, consider acrylic or enamel (oil-based) paints. Acrylic paints, including acrylic latex and acrylic enamel, are known for withstanding harsh weather and sun exposure. Enamel-based paints are also one of the most durable options available. While latex paint is common, it typically has a shorter lifespan than acrylic or oil-based options. The paint's finish also affects its durability; a higher gloss finish is generally more durable. For resistance to moisture and cracking, matte and satin finishes can be effective, while a high-gloss acrylic or oil-based paint offers a combination of maximum longevity and durability.

Yes, it's a good idea to sand the wall with fine-grit sandpaper after spackling, especially if you plan on painting. You can do this by hand or using a sander, but the idea is to ensure the spackle is flush with the wall. Sanding will give your wall a smooth, uniform finish and help your paint and wallpaper stay put.

DIY is possible but presents risks of uneven surfaces or improper adhesion; professionals offer expertise to ensure a lasting finish.
