"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."

"Noel and his assistant Dave were excellent.They painted the house, fence and all our outdoor wrought iron furniture. Their price was beyond fair. They were professional yet friendly. They went over and above their contract. We are so pleased with them that any further painting to be done in our home will be without question Noel’s company."

"Tom and Matt did an outstanding job refinishing the hardwood floors in my 100-yr-old house. Their work is clean and meticulous. Before sanding, they covered all walls and countertops with sheets of plastic and taped up all gaps beneath doors to prevent sawdust from getting into other parts of the house. It took a while, but they were able to remove most of the old pet urine stains in the hardwood floor of the kitchen. They even took the time to hand-sand between coats of polyurethane. You can't go wrong with these guys. They're conscientious, seem to take great pride in their work, and offer really fair pricing. In addition to refinishing the floors, they're painting several rooms and will also be painting the exterior of my house when it gets a little warmer."

"The painters were prompt, more than prompt, friendly--and so careful--both with the power washing and the painting. They were also efficient. Power Washing one day--all the repair and painting the next. Special kudos to the kind and meticulous foreman Hus. Our little house has never looked so good. And so pleased my husband at 74 no longer had to scale those ladders. Totally happy."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

You’ll want to avoid excessively hot or humid conditions, so it’s best to apply your stain in late spring to early fall. It's also important to watch the weather forecast and aim for days when there isn’t rain expected for at least three days. For new decks, allow the wood to season beforehand for at least four to eight weeks.

Pricing depends on prep work, paint/stain choice, area size, scaffolding needs, and detailed trim inclusions like precision-balanced windowsills.

Hangers are one way of attaching stair stringers to a deck. These metal hangers are usually adjustable, allowing you to find the ideal angle for a secure installation. They’re the best choice for installing longer staircases, such as one on a two-story deck, to reduce the load on the deck frame while keeping the stairs stable.

Ideally, it's best to stain your dock once per year. Applying stain doesn't just keep it looking nice and new; it also helps extend the dock’s lifespan. Since you want to ensure water levels are at their lowest, it's best to have this project done by a professional dock repair service in the cooler autumn or early winter months. 

If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.
