"I would highly recommend Bob of Proud Work Ethics LLC. He arrived on time, quickly provided fair estimates and finished the project ahead of schedule. Bob cleaned up after each day and took care to be respectful when working in our home. It is evident, that Bob takes pride in his work. We contracted Bob for a large interior project, which included spackling and repairs throughout the house, ceilings in 10 rooms, complete painting of two rooms including a large family room with cathedral ceilings, and trim work. He exceeded expectations. The house looks amazing! If you are looking for someone to paint in your home, hire Proud Work Ethics LLC."

"My husband and I hired Edy’s Quality Painting to paint the entire interior of our home. We chose them after reaching out to multiple companies because their pricing was reasonable and customer service impeccable. Rich, the person responsible for organizing Edy’s schedule was the first person to get back to us and the only person to explain in detail what we could expect if we hired them. Rich is also so personable; I felt like I was talking to an uncle every time I spoke to him. Once we hired them, it was evident that Edy is a true artist who takes pride in his work. Edy is also very considerate; he made a special trip back to paint our floor molding, as he knew we were getting our floors refinished. We were so happy with their service we hired Edy to come back and paint our stair railing. Even then, he made a special trip to finish the railing to ensure the weather permitted proper drying. We plan to hire them again in the near future to paint our deck and highly recommend them overall."

"They cut a hole in the ceiling to see if there was a water leak. Since there wasn’t an obvious one, they repaired the hole and painted the other stains with anti-mold paint. Then they repainted the entire kitchen ceiling."

"We hired the guys at Riverside to build us a detached garage and a deck off the rear of the main house. We needed a safe space to store our classic Corvette as well as entertain in the warmer months. We could not be happier with the end result. We have an amazing, CLIMATE CONTROLLED! garage and man cave and a great deck. I recommend the team at Riverside to all of our friends and family!"

"Allan and his crew at Murillo Pro Painting did an incredible job on my place. He painted three bedrooms, all my doors and trim in a clean white semi-gloss, and knocked out the ceilings too. The lines were crisp, the coverage was even, and everything looked brand new when he was done. He showed up on time, kept the space clean, and worked efficiently the whole way through. On top of that the price was more than fair for the amount of work. Great communication, professional attitude, and quality you can actually see. Highly recommend him to anyone in the 08234 area looking for solid, honest painting work."

"This company was terrific. They were very courteous, on time, efficient thorough and incredibly energetic. They did a great job on a large duplex with LOTS of mold and mess and the place looks like new. They also exceeded the requirements by power washing my fences, block along the driveway and even did the outside furniture! A couple of neighbors stopped by to admire their work and enquire as to their availability. They deserve a VERY high rating, You will be pleased. :-)"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

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.

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.

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

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.
