I'm Peter Harris and I am the owner/proprietor of Simple Works here in the Gallatin Valley. I specialize in home renovation with emphasis in kitchen and bathroom reworks. Simple Works does both home and commercial remodeling, small scale and large. I work with other business owners around the valley who, combined with my skill set, can get any job done! I enjoy meeting people and making their vision come to life through the renovation work Simple Works does. Call or email to get your project started today!

"The work that Peter did was good, but when we asked him to estimate a replacement for a water heater, he quoted us around $6,000-$7000 and then sent the final paperwork over at $9200. When I asked about the discrepancy, his response was “he wasn’t sure because he didn’t write it.” That seemed odd because he owns the company. He refused to answer any more of our polite emails asking about the water heater. We would expect more professionalism from someone we used in the past and paid money to."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Aftercare includes routine cleaning, checking for water repellency, and promptly addressing any chips or peels, maintaining the deck's appearance and functionality.

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.

Yes, pressure washing your deck before staining is a great idea because it clears the wood from any dirt, dust, and debris that could get in the way of solid stain coverage. Washing makes it easier to stain your deck and helps the stain grip the wood so it lasts longer. Pressure washers are faster and easier on your body than scrubbing your deck by hand.

Whether you can paint over your existing paint depends on what’s on there. Most of the time, you’ll want to sand down or scrape off the paint that’s currently coating your surface. Epoxy paint, for example, won’t let new paint stick to the surface. Latex paint is more forgiving and will accept a new coat, but a primer is recommended if you’re switching colors.

It’s a good idea to sand your porch before painting. This will remove loose or chipped paint and debris, and give you a cleaner surface so that your new paint goes on smoothly. But if the existing surface is in good condition, it’s not necessary to sand your porch before you paint.
