Although we had changes to our original plan, Bob went with the flow and made sure I was satisfied with the outcome, Bob is a real professional, whom I feel goes out of his way to satisfy is customers. I would hire Bob again and highly recommend him to others."

"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."

"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!

Customers say: Quick response

"Julio and his team were very professional, courteous, and considerate throughout the project. The quality of their work is excellent. My project involved prepping, sealing, and staining a new cedar wood fence, and we are very pleased with the outcome. Julio quickly returned my calls whenever I had a question, and the team came on time as scheduled; they were very punctual. They also cleaned up when the project was complete. I will request their services again for other projects and I highly recommend them. It was a pleasure working with them. Joe from Bayonne, NJ"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Choose based on climate, finish preference (glossy, matte), and durability. Tailored coatings also provide longevity.

Deciding whether to stain or paint a pool deck depends on your budget, desired look, and the deck's material. Both options can work. Paint offers a wider variety of color options, provides excellent water resistance, and can last longer. However, it requires a primer and can eventually fade or peel. Stain is often cheaper, easier to apply, and penetrates the wood for a more natural look and longer-lasting finish. It also has great water resistance. The downsides are fewer color options and the need for a sealant. The choice can also depend on the deck material; for example, staining may be a better option for concrete as it bonds well and lasts longer than paint.

Yes, it is generally a very good idea to seal your deck after pressure washing. Power washing removes not only dirt and debris but also a thin layer of wood, leaving the surface exposed and more susceptible to weathering. Sealing is almost always needed after this process. After a general cleaning, sealing isn't automatically necessary if the existing sealant is still intact. You can test the surface by placing a few drops of water on it. If the water beads up, the sealant is working. If it soaks into the wood, it's time to apply a new sealant. If it has been a few years, it's wise to remove the old sealant, wash the deck, and reseal for maximum protection.

Eggshell and satin finishes are best for porches because they sit in the sweet spot between scuffable matte and distracting high gloss. Your porch sees a fair amount of wear and tear, so you don’t want paint that’ll show every mark like matte, but you don’t want to be blinded by glossy paint in the sun either. Eggshell and satin have durability and a look that sits nicely in the middle.

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.
