"I don't often write reviews but feel compelled to do so now to recommend the great work of Adam's Quality Painting...I live in a 36 unit condo complex and Adam is completing this month long project on time and exceeding expectations...Adam's team has gone beyond expectations in terms of the quality of their work, doing so in a considerate and friendly manner...while the job is primarily exterior, there are a number of enclosed decks which had to be accessed indoors, and the team worked hard to fit varying schedules...if you are considering a painting project, large or small, I would encourage you to consider Adam and get an estimate from him...you'll be very glad you did!"

All the cabinet doors are brought to our shop to be completely refinished in an environment where the paint can properly cure.

"I recently hired Antonelly Pro Painters, led by Alex, to paint my mother’s living room, dining room, bathroom, and kitchen. They handled the walls, trim, ceiling and doors with excellent craftsmanship and great attention to detail, especially for her 80-year-old home. Alex provided a clear estimate, a reliable schedule, and outstanding communication throughout the project. The refreshed rooms truly made my mother’s day. I highly recommend Antonelly Pro Painters for their professionalism, quality work, and excellent customer service."

"Adam and his team did an amazing job on completing a backyard fence for my family. He was hardworking and detailed with the work. Kept me updated through every step of the way from the permit process, ordering materials and check-ins as the build was happening. Our fence is great! He also completed a custom railing and gate to attach to our existing deck. Will definitely be using we do it all again for future projects."

"I recently had my shingle roof replaced and I?m very happy with the results. The team was professional, punctual, and completed the job efficiently. The quality of the work is excellent, and the new roof looks great. They kept the work area clean and communicated well throughout the process. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a roof replacement."

"My home has been plagued by ice dams for years. After a recent snow storm/thaw, water started streaming through my bathroom ceiling at 3:00 in the morning. I looked for someone who could come quickly and found Marquis Roofing's ad that claimed 24-hour emergency service, so I called. Much to my surprise, a real person answered the phone at that ridiculous hour. What's more, he said he would be at my house within a couple of hours -- and he was. Tom Marquis and his team had the ice dams removed, shoveled the remainder of my roof, and even made sure my front steps and deck were clear in record time and for a great price. Tom said he'd be happy to come and clear the snow off the dormer after any subsequent storms (there have been 3) and he was true to his word. One email and he was back within 24 hours. What's more, he presented me with a solution that would fix my ice dam problem for good which we will be taking advantage of this Spring. I can't say enough about the outstanding customer service I received from Tom and would highly recommend Marquis Roofing to anyone who needs high-quality work at a reasonable cost."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Various kinds of substances and deck preservatives act as protective coatings for wood to prevent rot, which is caused by water getting into the wood and creating cracks and splits. Stains, paints, and sealants are the three best options to protect your wood, but there are also oils, varnishes, and waxes available. You’ll need to reapply sealant at least once per year, and you should inspect your wood deck regularly to look for signs of damage or general wear and tear.

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

Yes, staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan, typically by five to 10 years. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and rot over time. Applying a treatment creates a protective shield that helps prevent splintering, fading, and decay, preserving the wood's strength and appearance. A combination stain and sealer often provides the best protection, as it soaks into the wood grain rather than just sitting on top. This offers superior defense against UV damage and rot and lasts longer than a sealer alone. To maintain the wood's natural look, consider using a near-translucent stain. You should plan to reapply the stain or sealer every two to three years.

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.

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.
