"State wide stained our entire 4,100 sq. Ft. Cedar sided contemporary which has multiple rooflines and 30â high sections. Danâ s crew was neat and efficient, finishing earlier than projected. Dan was easy to work. Their pricing was excellent as well. I would use them for any painting project."

"Eric refinished our garage door and back porch steps which were in rough shape. He also painted the trim and shutters. It was a big job and required a lot of sanding, scraping and putty work. We are very happy with his work. He takes his time, does careful prep and paints neatly. No slops on the windows. The garage door and steps look like new. We will use him again. He is honest and trustworthy. A week later we asked him to come back and refinish our 60-year-old knotty pine kitchen cabinets. He did a fantastic job on him and they look like new now"

"I'm very detail oriented (probably anal retentive) and have had painters in the past who haven't done a great job and they paint "outside the lines."  I hired Mark last year to paint the downstairs and was so impressed with him that I hired him again for the upstairs and our screened in porch.  
Mark and his crew are so meticulous that someone like me had a hard time finding any issues!  They patched old phone jacks that weren't needed anymore, painted baseboards, ceilings, walls, doors, and windows.  Before leaving for the day, Mark would say to me, "let me know if you see any issues and I will fix them tomorrow."  He knew that I was anal retentive and had the patience to deal with me but like I said, I had a hard time finding any issues.  However, if I did find anything, he immediately fixed it with no issue.
He was extremely professional and easy to work with.  He definitely aims to please his customers with the quality of work that he does.  I would recommend him to anyone!

"Tom and Matt gave me an amazing quote for the painting of the entire house, the trim and they even painted our metal rails. Additionally they power washed the house and stairs and concrete around the house making the house look amazing! They breathed life back into this old home we just purchased. They are very friendly, hard workers, and trustworthy. I will be hiring them again for a few more house projects!"

"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

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.

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.

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must. 

No, it is not okay to paint over rotted wood. Painting over rotted wood will not address the underlying issue and can trap moisture, leading to further decay. Properly addressing the rotted wood by removing and replacing or repairing the damaged areas is necessary before you can even consider painting.

Routine cleaning, sealing/staining, and inspection prolong deck life and appearance.
