"Honest, reasonable and prompt. A wind storm blew pieces of my siding off. The owner, Angel, explained every part of the repair to me along with some options for how to fix it. He showed up the next day when he said he would and did a beautiful job. He did not pad the price because this was a “small job” or because I wanted it fixed right away to prevent further damage. He also did not try to talk me into more work than what I needed right now. I will absolutely be hiring them for future work on my home."

"Pete and his team were very professional throughout our kitchen remodeling project. Pete helped us pick out the cabinets, countertop, fixtures, flooring, and tile, and he made sure everything stayed within budget. He was accommodating to all our requests and concerns. Pete and his team arrived promptly every day of reno work, cleaned up all debris, and protected my house's furniture and new appliances from damage. Most importantly, he was always accessible, answering EVERY email, phone call, and text almost immediately. Renovation projects are stressful enough (we knocked down a wall into the dining room, resized a window and completed it with matching exterior vinyl siding and capping, replaced the floor and subfloor in 2 rooms, cut new trim, repaired drywall, changed the color and decor, added new plumbing, electricity and lights, and increased 7 feet of cabinet/countertop/backsplash space to 18 feet!), but Pete and the crew did their best to alleviate all our stress. The kitchen was totally transformed, and we and all our friends and family love the results. Very satisfied!"

"DLC Painting was excellent. We are very happy with the quality of work they performed. Their attention to detail was excellent. They made sure we were satisfied and did not hesitate to address any concerns we had. They kept the property clean and the crew couldnâ t be nicer. The customer service was so pleasant. We were so impressed we hired them back just a few weeks later for some interior painting we needed done. They did an excellent job inside as well. We will definitely be using them again! THANKS DLC"

"Everything went well with the inspection, but there was no "tune-up" (whatever this was supposed to be). Employee was on time, as well as called 1/2 hour ahead to advise of his arrival time. He was courteous and professional. I certainly hope that my sump pumps continue to operate for several more years, but I would not hesitate to call this company if there is a problem.

"From first contact to completion of the job Pete had great communication with us. He goes out of his way to make sure his clients are satisfied. He is a master of his trade. You can tell he loves his job. He is on time, professional and yet he is down to earth with a great "people personality". His painting made our home look brand new. All of this at a very reasonable price. Everything that MAP painting services did was 100% from start to clen up. He deserves 10 stars! I highly recommend you put MAP painters on your list. He strives for excellence and is a man of his word. We will not use anyone else."

"Satori did a fantastic job on my place! They painted every inch of it, and it has vaulted ceilings, all new flooring and baseboards, backsplash and painted cabinets, and put in a new vanity and toilet in my bathroom. They are a jack of all trades and I will most definitely be calling them in the future if I need anything done. It was done in a timely manner, very reasonably priced, and very professional. I highly recommend Satori!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Liquid rubber is great for waterproofing, but it can damage your deck if it’s not applied correctly. First, it can trap moisture in the wood if the deck isn’t completely dry before application.  Second, applying it too thickly can create a heavy, rubbery surface layer that peels and cracks under fluctuating temperatures. For the best results, ensure the wood is completely dry before application, and apply the liquid rubber in thin, even coats. A quick inspection every now and then will help you catch any issues early, keeping your deck protected and looking its best.

A properly applied coat of stain will last between 3 and 8 years, depending on your climate. If you live in a place where your fence experiences a lot of moisture or high heat, your stain will last for a shorter period than in more temperate conditions. We recommend reapplying stain every 3 to 5 years to keep your wood in good condition.

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.

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.

Satin paint is generally considered a better choice for woodwork—including trim, baseboards, cabinets, and doors—than flatter finishes like eggshell or matte. Its soft sheen enhances architectural details and stands up well to frequent cleaning and daily wear. Compared to eggshell and matte finishes, satin is more durable for high-touch areas because it is less porous and doesn't absorb dirt as easily. Matte finishes, in particular, are prone to scuffs and are harder to clean, making them less practical for surfaces like doors and cabinets.
