"John and his crew were absolutely great! They finished ahead of schedule and on budget. We are selling our home and they were able to do a variety of different jobs from staining our deck to 40' high vaulted ceilings.. but most of all they really respected our space.. I will definitely be working with them again in our new home! Thank you John."

""Miguel of M.A.S. was excellent!! I called for an estimate for some renovation and he returned my call promptly and scheduled a free estimate visit the following day. Within a couple of days, I received the estimate for replacing broken sash cords in 2 bedroom windows; replacing tiles in one of the bathrooms; fixing a torn screen door on the terrace deck and the big project was patching up the walk-in master bedroom closet ceiling that was damaged from a water leak from the above condo as well as repainting the whole closet. Miguel worked around my schedule on the days that someone would be home and I can't thank him enough for the prompt, professional & quick service. He completed all the ceiling patch work, painting, tile work in 1 day. When the sash cord kits were delivered he was back the next day finishing up in less than 2 hours, including the installing the fixed screen door. Effortless and headache-less experience. Miguel was very professional and detailed on the explanation of work and techniques used. I was very was pleased with the service and I highly recommend.""

"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

When applying multiple coats, wait four to six hours for each coat to dry. Not waiting long enough can result in streaks, peeling, and uneven color. Plus, it will be more difficult to discern where the second coat has already been applied.

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. 

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.

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.

If you don’t treat a cedar fence, it will turn from reddish brown to gray over time. You can keep the cedar from graying and retain its attractive, deep red color by sealing your cedar fence with a stain that keeps the wood’s oils in and serves as a barrier against the sun’s UV rays.
