"The job was done in a proficient and professional manner. The painting crew came in and went over the work to be done to confirm color choices and rooms to be painted. We had already moved all necessary furniture and the crew covered everything with tarps. The work was done very cleanly and fast. The finished rooms look very nice and we are very happy with the final look. Thank you Big Sky Country Contractors for a job well done. We will be giving you a call on our next project."
"He explained in detail of the work involved in painting our house during the quoting process. Him and his team were prompt and thorough. They did an awsome job!"
"I have two cabins and two garages and two wood sheds an outhouse and porches on each cabin. He pressure washed everything, the porches he had to pressure wash three times. They were pretty dirty. He then masked the windows, rock and doors. Most of the painting was by brush. Some was sprayed. His work has added years to our property. I highly recommend hiring this man to paint your property."
"My new house was painted a dirty greige (grey + beige) throughout. It felt like a cave! I needed my ceilings painted white ASAP and Kevin Fournier and his crew did such a great job! They were professional and thorough. They painted every ceiling on the main floor in two days. I am super happy with their work and would definitely recommend and hire them again."
"They were excellent, I would highly recommend. Everyone was very professional and showed up right when they said they would. They were gentle and everything arrived intact. They had us on the road in no time."
"Did a wonderful job restoring my grandparents deck! This is their happy place and it was in need of some love and it turned out better than we could have imagined!"
"We had COR rebuild our Patio after it was basically destroyed/ collapsed from snow weight after a recent storm. Nathan, and his crew were chosen to rebuild it. I don't write many reviews but the professional, courteous manner they displayed was outstanding. I can't imagine any future projects where we would not have them do the work. If we could give them 10 stars ⭐️ we would not hesitate to do so!!"
Deck staining or painting safeguards wood against the elements through its protective layer, enhancing decay resistance, prolonging structural integrity, and improving visual appeal.
Pressure-treated wood lasts at least 10 years, but with the right care and treatment, it can last as long as 40 years. Painting the boards is one way to increase the lifespan of pressure-treated wood. The layer of paint provides extra protection for the wood against the exterior elements and insects.
It’s often best to spray on deck sealer. Sprayers can apply sealant more quickly and evenly than rolling while still enabling you to reach tight spaces. When using a sprayer, always use a low-pressure setting at a close distance to ensure an even application. Avoid using sprayers on windy days.
Yes, it is generally a very good idea to seal your deck after pressure washing. Power washing removes not only dirt and debris but also a thin layer of wood, leaving the surface exposed and more susceptible to weathering. Sealing is almost always needed after this process. After a general cleaning, sealing isn't automatically necessary if the existing sealant is still intact. You can test the surface by placing a few drops of water on it. If the water beads up, the sealant is working. If it soaks into the wood, it's time to apply a new sealant. If it has been a few years, it's wise to remove the old sealant, wash the deck, and reseal for maximum protection.
Yes, pressure-treated wood can occasionally turn green due to certain preservatives, such as copper-based chemicals, used during the treatment process. These chemicals react with the wood, creating a greenish tint. The good news? It's temporary, and the color will fade over time. Staining or painting can also help hide any unwanted hues.
