"Diego gave helpful advice on a whole house painting(including tin roof and decking). He and his crew spent significant time pressure washing and preparing all surfaces for paint and stain. They came promptly as the weather permitted. He and his crew were meticulous and expert in their painting. They left no mess behind on any day of work. It was fun to see the progress and we feel like we have a new home and deck and are thrilled with it. It was a pleasure to work with Diego and his crew."

"I have just retired from the military after 23 years and I'm used to calling-in a work order to have repairs made :) However, I moved back into a vacant home with my children which needed a lot of work. I was a little rushed as we were living in a hotel for 3 weeks and the hurricane caused many delays with electricity. I made my selection based on previous reviews. Here's a break down of pros/cons: Pros: - Very personable - Showed-up when scheduled - Kept me updated with progress/status - Loaned fans until air condition could be repaired - Gave a reference for plumbing repair (same day service) Cons: - Pricing: Not transparent, no breakdown of cost for materials /labor. Requested receipt weeks after work was completed/still vague. - Electrical/Roof repairs: fixes did not resolved issues - Floor Installation: gaps between walls in one room, can see sub-floor along wall/ in closet. Nicks throughout house on baseboards. One vent would not fit, had to make multiple request to get resolved. The floor needed trim due to gaps throughout the house from the carpet. Overall big improvement from old carpet. - Paint: Overall nice job, I had to remove paint chips in bathroom/kitchen and minor splatter on kitchen tile. I requested a quote for additional work I needed (new deck, repairs to doors & enclosed screened porch); while repairs were ongoing and never received an official quote. This was a great learning experience; I have gained more knowledge on what to discuss upfront. I'm looking forward to working with another contractor for remaining upgrades!"

"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

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.

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.

The longevity of paint on wood depends on factors like the quality of the paint, surface preparation, exposure to elements, and maintenance. Exterior paint on wood surfaces can last 5 to 15 years or more with proper care and maintenance. Interior paint tends to have a longer life span, often 10 years or more. Regular cleaning, touch-ups, and addressing any issues like peeling or cracking can extend the life of the paint.
