"Fresh Start painting did two of my friends homes both interior and exterior. I was so impressed I had them come and paint multiple interior rooms in my home and then they painted the exterior of my home inclusive of my front porch and my screened in back porch.
They are efficient, accommodating, detail oriented and so neat in cleaning up other than beautiful painting as a result you would never know they were here.
Immaculate ~ and I have already rehired them for more work.
Reasonable prices and worth every dime. Accommodating with my schedule ~ and I could just leave while they did their work. Lovely to be in a position of trust and reliability.
PS they were fabulous working around my labrador and she moved from room to room to say hello and then she would tuck into a bed for a nap."
Hello my name is Daymian! I have done just about everything including whole home remodel. I am a contractor aswell. If I can't do it I know someone who can!
"They were very good. They did a really good job of making everything nice and neat. They did a good job of matching the siding. It looks really good."
"They painted most of the interior of my home and did an amazing job! The work was done quickly, cleanly, and very professional. Would definitely recommend to anyone!"
"Cody did a great job pressure washing our 2 story house and deck. All the mold and mildew is gone... looks great! Cody got right to work and got it done and for a reasonable price. He was very polite, communicated with me when we needed to reschedule, and showed up when he said he would. I definitely recommend using Cody."
"It has been a pleasure to do business with Ahmed construction. They provide very fair price on bidding. The administrative project manager Mr Albert is a hard working guy. Him along with the Mr Judy did the decking and replaced some studs on an addition remodel project. I highly recommend Ahmed construction and I will hire them again for any future project"
"Good. They did a really good job. They were there everyday when they said they will gonna be, any issues I had they were able to take care, and they cleaned up after themselves very well."
Choose based on climate, finish preference (glossy, matte), and durability. Tailored coatings also provide longevity.
It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the deck refinishing process. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.
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 general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.
Choosing the best color for your home exterior should factor in longevity as well as your personal taste. To keep your house looking newly painted as long as possible, stay away from red paint. Although red homes pop and are quintessential for country-style barns, red paint tends to fade fastest in the sun. Go with earth tones if you want paint that best resists fading.
