"Wilburs did an excellent job on my floors and walls. I worked with Danny Salas and his crews and they did a fantastic job. My home had textured walls on the first floor and stairway. Wilburs skim-coated all the walls and repainted. They did a great job; you can’t tell that the walls are not the original surface! They also replaced the crown molding in all the 1st floor rooms. Danny was very helpful in deciding on the size of the crown molding and the end result looks great. Wilburs also redid the hardwood floors and stairs by sanding, staining and putting on polyurethane. They did a great job. The crews were professional yet friendly and they cleanup up after themselves really well. Everything they did turned out great and the pricing was very competitive!"

"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."

"I couldn’t be happier with my experience. Not only did the work come out pristine but the amazing customer service throughout the entire process made my home refresh even more pleasant. I debated doing the painting myself but I am so very glad I didn’t! They are precise, attentive and keep the space very clean during the entire process. Highly recommend"

"I had my entire exterior painted which included gutters, front staircase and rails with Jezer Espinoza Painting. In addition to the excellent job performed, this company was reliable, professional and knowledgeable. I was extremely satisfied with the outcome. The prices were reasonable and all the workers were friendly and patient with all my concerns. I would absolutely refer them to anyone who needs help with painting projects!"

"Excellent and positive experience from start to finish.Nick Murante, one of the owners came by and we did a walk through and
he gave me an estimate for the paint job as described above.  He honored Angie's list $300 discount.  Carpentry repairs were billed at $40 per hour plus labor.  His crew boss, Julio, worked with his wife and two other family members.  They were extremely reliable, arriving at 8:00 am sharp, stopping at noon for a half hour lunch and working without a break until 5-5:30 pm.  They cleaned up the job site every night and were very responsive to all my questions and suggestions.  If I found any areas of the house they missed it was immediately taken care of.  The job was scheduled in a timely fashion and done within a week (we were blessed with a week of sunshine).  The house never looked so good!  They really worked hard to prep the house properly so the finish coats would lay smoothe, and decrease the likelyhood of chipping in the future. I'd hire them back in a heart beat for any further work.  They also provide a 4 year warranty, plus they used a very high quality Sherman Williams paint (Resiiance). I can't say enough about Julio's good humor and
cooperative nature which made working with them a pleasure."

"I have no complaint with the quality of their work. However, as usual with a house built in 1895, the job grew as they worked! A simple gutter replacement turned into a complete Porch roof replacement. Considerably more expensive. I could see the water damage myself so I didnâ  t feel they were being dishonest. The job was completed quickly and efficiently. I am satisfied."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.

A five-gallon bucket of deck stain will cover roughly 875 square feet in a single coat. Actual coverage will vary based on the type of wood you’re staining and the number of coats. If you plan on doing multiple coats, multiply the square footage by the number of coats to calculate how many buckets of stain you’ll need.

Constant exposure to inclement weather conditions can damage your deck, causing it to fade, warp, or crack over time. Regular maintenance keeps it looking and performing its best. That means giving it a good cleaning and applying a quality sealant or wood treatment to help defend against moisture, sun damage, and everyday wear.

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

Yes, it is generally a very good idea to seal your deck after pressure washing. Power washing removes not only dirt and debris but also a thin layer of wood, leaving the surface exposed and more susceptible to weathering. Sealing is almost always needed after this process. After a general cleaning, sealing isn't automatically necessary if the existing sealant is still intact. You can test the surface by placing a few drops of water on it. If the water beads up, the sealant is working. If it soaks into the wood, it's time to apply a new sealant. If it has been a few years, it's wise to remove the old sealant, wash the deck, and reseal for maximum protection.
