"Cesar is very knowledgable and professional. He did three projects for us. Replaced 20 ft of fascia board and soffit and rehung the gutter. Build a gate for a deck. Repaired and painted an area of water damage on a ceiling. Everything was done to perfection and on time as promised."

"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 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."

Customers say: Terrific value

"Joe and his team did a great job painting our hallways, ceilings, and living area. We had some water leak stains in the ceiling and they were able to patch it up seamlessly, unlike another contractor we had hired previously. They also patched up dents in our walls before painting. We're so happy we went with them since their work was great, they finished faster than expected, and cleaned up really well."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan, typically by five to 10 years. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and rot over time. Applying a treatment creates a protective shield that helps prevent splintering, fading, and decay, preserving the wood's strength and appearance. A combination stain and sealer often provides the best protection, as it soaks into the wood grain rather than just sitting on top. This offers superior defense against UV damage and rot and lasts longer than a sealer alone. To maintain the wood's natural look, consider using a near-translucent stain. You should plan to reapply the stain or sealer every two to three years.

You don’t necessarily have to remove all the old paint before repainting your deck, but it’s best to remove as much as possible to ensure a smooth and long-lasting finish. Prioritize scraping off loose, peeling, or flaking paint, and sand down rough areas to create a smooth surface for the new paint to bond with.

Always sand a deck before repainting so the wood is smooth and ready for paint. While you do not need to fully remove paint before repainting, sanding helps remove any areas with weather and sun damage. Sanding also helps remove chipped or flaking paint and opens the wood pores to improve paint adhesion.

The need for a topcoat on a painted deck depends on various factors, primarily the type of paint used and your desired level of protection. Many premium deck paint formulations are self-sealing, eliminating the necessity for an additional topcoat. These paints often have built-in additives that substantially protect against moisture, UV rays, and everyday wear and tear.

Choose based on climate, finish preference (glossy, matte), and durability. Tailored coatings also provide longevity.
