"Project was exterior paint and minor carpentry of medium sized home and stain and paint of a large deck. Project completed on time (only 1 rain delay) and team was very professional (clean, quiet, courteous, on time). Fernando was a good communicator as the project was underway, and let me know about major hurdles, but handled the minor stuff himself. The finished product looks fantastic."

"Adam was exceptionally professional in his attitude and workmanship. He was incredibly detail oriented and made sure that the finished product was up to his extremely high standards. We absolutely will hire him for all future painting and staining tasks. We are so grateful for his work."

All the cabinet doors are brought to our shop to be completely refinished in an environment where the paint can properly cure.
This 1940s home looks brand new, after a complete refinishing of the siding and trim, a flat finish for the siding, satin finish for the trim, and newly constructed trellises integrated into the corner boards.

"Nice family business. Had some trouble with some employees getting started but Costas and his dad always took over and made sure everything was great. They did most of the work themselves which was important to me that someone was always on site. My schedule is crazy. Iâ m often not home and I trusted them to be here and get the job done without my oversight. We ran into some challenges, even added a few more jobs to the project. He took in stride, eager for the work and honest and upfront about what he could do what needed to be done? I enjoyed working with him, so Iâ m giving him another project"

"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."

I have worked in the trades for almost 40 years and am currently renovating my 3rd 100 year old home in the greater Portland area.\nAfter that many homes and countless other projects over the years, i have become proficient and confident in almost every aspect of home building, renovating, and remodeling.\nBig or small, my attention to detail and ability to communicate clearly with my clients has allowed me to keep a steady workload based almost entirely on repeat calls.\nThat said, i am always excited to meet new challenges, learn new skills, and add more happy customers to my base.

"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

Whether to paint or stain a deck depends on your personal preference for appearance and budget. Stain provides a natural look with a range of undertones, is typically less expensive, and may only require one coat, but it does not last as long as paint. Paint offers a sleeker finish with a virtually unlimited color palette. Both options will protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear.

It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the deck refinishing process. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.

You should seal your deck every one to two years, but you’ll also need to clean and repair your wood deck throughout the seasons. You may want to hire a local house cleaning service to sweep and clean the deck thoroughly. These cleaning services cost around $50 per hour.

Inspect your deck at least once a year, and if you notice any damage or rot, expect to spend about $10 to $50 for simple DIY fixes or about $2,000 for professional repairs on more extensive damage.

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.

Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint.
