"John was very professional, punctual, quick, and extremely skilled. I had gotten a few quotes. He was very honest and fair. He is a very hard worker and the work was perfect. He even painted a few areas on the stairwell that were not evenly matched. He was a lifesaver actually. I highly recommend John at Dominic’s Painting."

From start to finish it went extremely well.  Bill Boon the sales person was extremely knowledgeable very friendly and likeable. I actually had a good time with young man. He did things other sales reps. did not do he walked all over my roof looking for bad spots taking pictures going up in my attic looking to see if the decking was bad from underneath. He even came the day of the installation and went up on the roof with the roofers and looked at all the decking after all the old shingles and underlayment was removed.

The crew that did the job arrived early in the morning about 7:20 the supervisor of the crew knocked on my and introduced himself. Sendy was his name. They started in right away unloading all their equipment and worked straight through until the took a lunch break. Then went right back to work until they were done. They were likeable friendly and very professional. They did a great job with everything. Clean up was great it like they were never there. OH YES!!!!!!MY NEW ROOF LOOKS GREAT. LOVE IT.

"Pat and his team were, by and large, fantastic. They executed on all aspects of the original quote flawlessly. The ribbon pointing around the stonework, especially in the front part of the house, turned out very nice. We're extremely happy with how the masonry looks. It went so smoothly, we added additional work onto the quote to seal the concrete and touch up paint along the exterior of the house. The painting wasn't as neat or clean as it could have been - it's probably a little step above what I could have done. Mostly importantly, when we encountered a couple of problems along the way, they were responsive and went above and beyond to sort it out. I think they approached the whole project very well, and even worked with us on the price for the add-ons. All-in-all, super solid work from a super solid contractor. Highly recommended."

"They really are not that good because the work they did started to deteriorate quickly after they did it. They came back and resolved the problem but they also did additional work; they really are not the best painters. The price was very reasonable and they also did some exterior painting for me as well. The interior painting was not as professional as I thought it could have been but they were quick to respond to my needs. They were punctual."

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage. 

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.

Always wait until the morning dew has dried before you stain your deck. The stain needs a fully dry surface to sink into.

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.

You should refinish your deck to maintain its appearance, durability, and longevity. Refinishing your deck protects the wood from foot traffic and the elements. It also helps extend its life span by keeping rot, mildew, and termites at bay. By maintaining your deck, you can avoid the cost of replacing your deck sooner. A refinished deck also looks great and restores some of its original beauty.
