"Peter bid the job, gave a fair estimate. Did the job as requested, He was polite, professional and communicated well. I recommend him and if I have other projects I’ll hire him again. If I had 100 projects, I would hire him 100 times. Fixed and painted my deck, painted house exterior and hung shutters."

"The contractor showed up and completed the work on time, on budget and even credited the the extra materials back to the home owner. Honesty is the best policy, is just glad to help. Honest days pay for an honest days work. Just a few statements made during the course of the job. Kept materials and job site clean and safe. Made a stressful undertaking very pleasant and enjoyable. Have recommended this contractor to several friends."

"I selected Personal Touch Home Solutions (Jim Burton) from among numerous others who also bid on the job. Jim's rates were reasonable, and his priority was making sure I was happy with the final product. The project was finishing a basement, but this also involved an extensive demo as the house was old and previous attempts to modernize were not well planned or performed. As is typical with a remodel, unexpected challenges presented themselves. Jim enthusiastically developed solutions to each issue. He went the extra mile with custom carpentry to accommodate this basement's unique geometry. Although he was hired to finish the basement, he also made time to address issues and improvements in the remainder of the house. He kept a clean worksite and coordinated subcontractors throughout the project. Highly recommend!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Hiring a contractor or professional deck refinisher is the best way to ensure your deck is properly stained. They have the expertise, tools, and supplies to do the job quickly and efficiently. However, staining a deck is a manageable task for most homeowners, and doing the job yourself can save money. Just keep in mind that DIY staining is a long process requiring physical strain, so it may not be the best option for everyone.

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

Yes, professionals offer slip-resistant options for added workplace safety.

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

Yes, you must thoroughly clean your deck before staining. If you don't, dirt, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped between the wood and the new stain. This not only looks unsightly but also prevents the stain from penetrating the wood properly, reducing its ability to protect the deck from weather and UV rays. As a result, the stain won't last as long or look as good. Any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning for the wood to dry completely before applying stain.
