"We first hired Reybel for a kitchen project, but ended up hiring him for several jobs, including remodeling a rental house removing popcorn ceiling, painting dark wood trim, cabinets and walls, and tiling floors. He did an excellent job with remarkable clean up. He is very receptive to new ideas and doing the job in a timely and cleanly manner. For the kitchen project in our home, he removed a wall of cabinets and tiled the space, installing a range hood and shelving. He also repaired and painted the ceiling in our great room and bedroom where there was water damage. We are completely satisfied with the results and have already asked him to do more work. We would recommend him and his crew's work to anyone!"

"Jeremy was awesome! I came from out of town to do some upgrades on my parents bathroom and ran into some electrical issues. He was on time, came in and got right to business. Very professional and even went the extra mile to fix some minor safety issues. He worked until he was able to pinpoint issue which was so minor we all just laughed. Thank you, Jeremy!! Awesome job!!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

DIY is possible with proper tools and knowledge, but professionals can ensure even application and high-quality results, saving time and hassle.

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.

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.

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.
