"I hired Perfectos to clean out and organize my garage. I had lots of boxes I needed broken down and furniture I needed hauled out. They arrived on time and got it all done in a few hours. I am super impressed with their work and would recommend them to anyone needing help with cleaning or projects around the house."

"Stag Construction was hired to replace poorly installed Hardi Board siding and replace patio doors and window. Pictures show after corrections of miscut siding, siding pattern not running in same direction, siding not even from panel to panel, wavy uneven fascia, 2"gaps between soffits and siding, roof edges straightened and more. Fascia is now straight and runs parallel to top of windows and no holes/gaps for rodents to enter. Amazing! Due to the unknown extent of the work, contract was" by the hour, not a bid. What a pleasant surprise to deal with a company that knows how to install so as not to void a warranty. Austin and his brothers were professional, knowledgeable about the product, courteous, and efficient. Work hours calculated accurately and materials receipts were detailed. I appreciated their willingness to discuss options and express opinions when asked. Stag Construction will be doing more work for me next spring. Looking forward to it!"

"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."

"Cob it, Busy Bee was initially hired to do exterior surface preparation, and re-staining of my log home, garage and playhouse. They were very reliable, and made extra trips back and forth from their home base which is three hours away to make sure things ran smoothly at the job site. While at this jobsite with all their equipment and materials, Bill offered to prep and stain my fence, a picnic table, a porch swing and a porch bench at no extra charge. The project was finished last Spring of 2016 and he returned back the next Spring of 2017 just to make sure that I was completely satisfied as well as re-inspecting their work."

"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."

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

No, it is not okay to paint over rotted wood. Painting over rotted wood will not address the underlying issue and can trap moisture, leading to further decay. Properly addressing the rotted wood by removing and replacing or repairing the damaged areas is necessary before you can even consider painting.

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.

The best way to protect a deck is to prevent damage from UV light, water, mold, mildew, insects, and abrasive cleaning methods. Sweep regularly to prevent debris that hides bugs and traps moisture that can result in mold or mildew growth. Use a deck cleaner once a year to remove algae, mold, and mildew. Avoid using pressure washers on high, as they can damage the wood. Applying a deck sealant can protect the wood from UV and water damage, and adding shade can also reduce sunlight damage.

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.
