"I would highly recommend Bob of Proud Work Ethics LLC. He arrived on time, quickly provided fair estimates and finished the project ahead of schedule. Bob cleaned up after each day and took care to be respectful when working in our home. It is evident, that Bob takes pride in his work. We contracted Bob for a large interior project, which included spackling and repairs throughout the house, ceilings in 10 rooms, complete painting of two rooms including a large family room with cathedral ceilings, and trim work. He exceeded expectations. The house looks amazing! If you are looking for someone to paint in your home, hire Proud Work Ethics LLC."

"Eric takes his time to insure that the prep work is done right. He is careful and very knowledgeable about his craft. He did our trim and shutters that had not been painted in 14 years as well as the old garage door. This required a lot of sanding, scraping and re puttying the windows and doors. They now look almost brand new especially the garage door. His prices are very competitive and much better than the big paint consolidating chains. We will have him back to refinish our kitchen cabinets. You can trust Eric to do a first class job."

"Ever was great, he was able to give me a quote that made sense for my outdoor painting job on our whole home. It was a mixed project between metal siding, brick and a wood retaining wall but he recommended the right paints and didnt cut corners. There was an issue with the paint store mixing the full gallons that didnt match the sample we had used and Ever took the lead to make sure we got what we agreed upon. I will use him again in the future and recommend him as a painter to all of my friends."

"They were incredibly responsive and professional in getting the job done on time. We gave them a tight timeline and they finished ahead of schedule. We had our entire home interior painted so it was not a small job, was very pleased with the end result. Leo was very communicative and readily available until job was complete. Would definitely recommend and plan to use them again for exterior."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

If your biggest concern is making sure your deck doesn’t show dirt, opt for a darker neutral color that blends in well with your surrounding landscape. A rich brown or dark grey are both good options that work with a variety of house colors. A high-quality acrylic paint is easy to clean and maintain, so it might be worth spending the money on.

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. 

You don't need to seal your deck after painting it because most exterior paints are waterproof and weather-resistant. While stealing is not necessary, it can add an additional layer of protection.

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.

Wood stain is not flammable after it dries. The solvent in wood stain is what causes the liquid form to be highly flammable, but the stain drying process involves the solvents dissolving, which leaves behind a non-flammable product on your wood project. Wood stain is, however, flammable before you apply it, so you should always store partially full cans and used wood stain rags away from sources of heat and open flames.
