"We had a water leak in an upstairs bathroom that damaged a downstairs ceiling and the subfloor. He brought in his subs to replace the flooring, subfloor, toilet flange, sheetrock, ceiling, popcorn texture, and painting. Everything he did and all of his subcontractors were fantastic. Highly recommend Luke and his professionalism."

The Shed Shop builds the only utility shed that compliments the style of your home. With ample overhangs, top notch trim accents along the roof line, gable ends, and corners, these buildings are built with style. The Shed Shop builds their door frames employing the same wood joinery found in fine furniture, coupled with their hand built other options, such as copper roofed cupolas, transom windows, gable vents, and more. A Shed Shop building will out class any shed on the market for curb appeal looks, functionality, construction, and last a lifetime. Thank you for considering The Shed Shop and we look forward to impressing you!

"This wasn't a very good experience across the board. Long lead time to start the project. Was pushed back 3 times before they started with very, very little advanced notice (night before). Horrible communication and the owner is flat out not a pleasant person to deal with. Very rude and unresponsive. Was not impressed one bit with pretty much anything they did. Price was too high for quality and they just flat out don't care about your happiness with the end product. You can tell just by the way they handle things. Look elsewhere!!!"

"We have hired Tim for several jobs. Most recently he repainted a bathroom and repaired/painted walls that had been damaged by a baby gate. In the past he painted our dining room including window trim, and some bedrooms. He is always meticulous, neat, and considerate. I highly recommend him and will definitely hire him when I need future paint jobs!"

Stinson Services is a family owned and operated business that provides exceptional service to property owners in regards to exterior remodeling. We take pride in serving our customers from the first phone call to the final inspection. Specialties include: Roofing, Siding, Storm Damage Restoration & Gutters. License #BC455380 - Provide Free Inspections & Estimates - Storm Damage Restoration

"Stinson Services recently completed a roofing project at my home. My suburb had seen some hail back in the summer of 2020. As Stinson has done a fair amount of work in my immediate neighborhood, I asked for a roof inspection. After getting positive feedback from Dave at Stinson that my roof did in fact show signs of damage, I was urged to schedule a visit from my insurance adjuster. Dave spent an extended time up on the roof with the adjuster, on what was a brutally hot & humid summer day. This initial visit set the wheels in motion for a few additional cooperative visits between Dave and the insurance adjuster that eventually facilitated a partial insurance settlement for a new roof. Stinson was able to ultimately re-roof my home for what I believe was a reasonable out-of-pocket dollar amount beyond the insurance contribution. Thanks to Dave for the time and effort on my behalf. The roofing job itself occurred on the exact date promised. Hector, the Project Manager, had his roofing crew work efficiently to complete the project in a single day and also made enhancements to the roof's venting system. The workers cleaned up after the project and left the immediate areas adjacent to the house in good order. Throughout the process, I found all the folks at Stinson to excel in crystal clear communication. All contact with company representatives was positive and professional. Our new roof looks wonderful and the completed job adds significant curb appeal to our home. The final quality of the Stinson roofing project exceeded expectations. I would highly recommend the company to anyone interested in a roofing update, or any other home improvement that Stinson might be able to help with."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

If you’re deciding between limewash versus whitewash, know that both have a chalky matte appearance. Limewash is made from lime, water, and sometimes pigment, while whitewash consists of lime, water, white chalk, and binders (though you can get a similar look with watered-down white paint). Whitewash has fewer options for color customization, and it sits on surfaces instead of being absorbed into them, which can trap moisture. Whitewashing costs less—about $1.40 to $4.20 per square foot.

There’s no single paint that’s the most waterproof. Instead, there are several types of waterproof and water-resistant paints that suit different purposes. Epoxy paint, for instance, is commonly used to provide a waterproof coating to floors and decks. Masonry paint is an excellent choice for exterior walls. Meanwhile, there are waterproof acrylic paints that can be used for interior and exterior walls. It’s more about choosing the best type for what you’re painting instead of the most waterproof paint overall.

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.

Acrylic paint is one of the best types of paint to use on your home's exterior. It's a durable paint that is also heat- and cold-resistant. While oil-based paint is also durable, it's prone to fading,  making it not as good of an option if you live someplace with extremely high heat. In colder regions, oil-based and alkyd paints become more viscous, which makes it harder to apply the paint.

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.
