"The people at Classic Finishes were professional and flexible. I had a short time frame to get my new home painted after the closing, but before moving in, and the were able to accommodate that. They were friendly and helpful, and their work was not only quick, but more importantly, it was very well done! I couldnâ t be happier!"

"Tyler with just walls was one of the lower bids we had to paint our new home walls and some pillars, along with staining our doors. He was also the most curteous and responsive to our desires. I also appreciate how kind he was to my daughter and fiancee. I will use them again for any future jobs."

"Initial consultation was with Amy and my husband. Since I wasn't sure
what styles were discussed in my absence, she quickly emailed me
pictures of a few different options. I made multiple changes before the
install date, and Amy took it all in stride. When it came to the first
day of work, the demo guy came out to check out our existing chain link.
Apparently it was more work than he thought and had to reschedule to
come out a couple days later when he had more time. Due to a
miscommunication and misunderstanding (we said we would take care of
disposal of the old fence and they thought it meant we would entirely
remove and dispose the old fence and then I didn't read the quote well
enough to notice that they did not include removal in the price), it
took a little bit longer than expected. No big deal, that's on us to
more clearly communicate and read better!
Once the old fence was
taken out and the posts were set, the fence was up in little more than a
day. The guy who put it up was SO fast, he motivated the other
contractor we had building our deck. Wish I would have known that
Artistic could have built that, too, because we would have loved to have
that up in two days as well!
Any issues or concerns I had in the
process, I just called and talked to Mary in the office and she sorted
everything out. I would highly recommend this company to anyone and
everyone. All of our neighbors have come over to tell us how much they
love our fence!

"Everything was done better and faster than I expected! They were very knowledgeable about paints and the process. They even took on a few extra projects I needed painted such as some exterior cement wall and our porch swing. Very kind and professional!"

"Tom came out to bid on our project on May 22, 2014.  He was very thorough in explaining how much and what type of paint would be needed.  He was reasonable and fair with his estimate.  He came to our home on June 20th and prepped the entire area first. He asked us to come into the home to see the prep work.  Once we approved, he then started spraying all the ceilings.  As he was working, he asked us to come back in to see the difference between the newly painted area and the old.  Remarkable difference.  He sprayed the textured ceilings twice with primer/paint.  He did a nice job cleaning up.  Very personable and nice to work with.  I would recommend him.

"We called Cady Handyman Services and a pleasant gentleman discussed our deck project.
Cady Handyman scheduled one of his service tech to come out the follow morning.
The tech arrived promptly at the scheduled time with a friendly ready to fix our problem attitude.
We have raised nails and screws on our deck that always seem to reappear during winter months.
These raised nails and screws made snow removal just horrible.The Cady tech recommened that we remove many of the bad loose fastners and replaced with a new non-corosive styles of screws.
After a complete walk through of our project we were extremely satified.

With our project completed we are now looking forward to the winter to come.

With our total satisfaction with Cady Handyman Services we have again committed to them for our up coming basement project

"Justin did a good job in putting back our vinyl siding. He arrived on time, is pleasant spoken, and was quickly able to complete the job. I would request Justin's help again if other work come up in the future."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.

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.

You can use latex or acrylic paint outdoors. Although acrylic paint tends to last longer outside, it also costs more, so if you’re painting the outside of your house, for instance, latex paint is often a go-to option. However, acrylic will be your best choice if you want to spend some extra money for added durability.

Deciding whether to stain or paint a pool deck depends on your budget, desired look, and the deck's material. Both options can work. Paint offers a wider variety of color options, provides excellent water resistance, and can last longer. However, it requires a primer and can eventually fade or peel. Stain is often cheaper, easier to apply, and penetrates the wood for a more natural look and longer-lasting finish. It also has great water resistance. The downsides are fewer color options and the need for a sealant. The choice can also depend on the deck material; for example, staining may be a better option for concrete as it bonds well and lasts longer than paint.

The best paint for an older deck depends on the material and whether or not your deck already has a coat of paint. Generally, if your deck already has paint on it, you should choose the same type of paint when repainting the deck. For example, if an old deck has oil-based paint on it, stick with oil; if your deck has water-based paint, choose water-based paint.
