"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!"

"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."

"Jordan and his crew did a fabulous job bringing new life to our kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanity. Jordan explained the process- preparation, timeline, etc. Crew was here first thing every morning and worked a very long days. Efforts were made to keep all dust contained. We had a couple of minor issues- they were rectified to our satisfaction very promptly. It is obvious that client satisfaction is paramount with this company. Jose also went above and beyond, and did an additional small area for us. Would highly recommend."

"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"

Customers say: Quality work

"My wife and I chose BG Construction to stain the exterior of our cabin and also the interior of our covered deck, to include railings and all landscaping ties. We knew there would be extensive scraping and caulking and we also feared there would be unforeseen problems that would require carpentry and other construction. WE received a complete walk around and possible problems were pointed out to us. An accurate estimate was given, barring of course, unforeseen work. Bill Gray and his associates, Bobbie and Frank, were nothing short of fantastic! They are courteous, extremely friendly, and about the hardest workers we have seen in a long time. They became part of our family during their time here. If you are looking for a full service outfit that are capable of not only painting but fixing things too, you can't do better. Bill and his crew are craftsmen. Choosing BG Construction was one of the best investments we have made concerning our home. Eric/Patt"

"All proceeded very smoothly. Good communication with Pete. Superb attention to detail including a few things that were not in the quote... Pete simply noticed a few necessary repairs around my house and he took care of these things for me. It would have been very difficult to find a contractor for these small repairs but it's great to have things in good shape now thanks to Pete! Great crew, cheerful, thoughtful, highly skilled. Beautiful porch in front of my house, replacing ugly concrete steps. A very nice job. Beautiful re-designed steps in the house for safety. Excellent job installing the new windows. A+ job. This was a big job but Pete made it go very smoothly and I am very happy with the results. I paid a fair price and Pete was open and honest at every stage."

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’s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that’s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat. 

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

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.

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.
