"Victor called the day I put in the request for rv garage door repair. He left a message saying he could do the job. The next morning he sent a text to be sure I knew he was available. I told him the problems and he said he could take care of it. He arrived as promised. Very professional and polite. He fixed the rv garage door and then he serviced our two car garage doors. Now they all work great. We will call Victor any time we need anything done concerning our garage doors"

"Ron is a much-needed breath of fresh air, in the world of dishonest handymen. Excellent communication skills. Each day, he would call to tell me he was on his way, each time that he needed to leave the job site, he would explain why, etc. Superb sense of time management. If a task he was doing was taking longer than expected, he would change gears immediately, to use the time on the job wisely. Admirable determination. Worked hard on the tasks he was hired to do, and followed through until the job was complete. Personable and polite. Interacted in a friendly and professional manner. Due to this, I recommeded Ron to friends and neighbors."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint. 

Provided conditions are ideal, staining an entire deck should take as little as a couple of hours and up to a couple of days to apply and cure. Additional procedures, like sealing a deck or using additional treatments, may extend the project by a few additional days.

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

When choosing between deck stain or paint, knowing what will last longer is important. Deck paint lasts longer than deck stain. With deck paint, you can get up to 10 years of coverage before you need to reapply. With deck stain, that time is significantly shorter at two to three years. 

Yes, it is important to wash your deck before painting to ensure the paint applies well and adheres properly. While you don't have to use a pressure washer, it is one of the most efficient cleaning methods. Pressure washing can quickly remove dirt, wood fibers, and flaked paint, getting deeper into the wood than manual scrubbing. You can also clean the deck with a stiff broom and a cleaning solution. Regardless of the method, a clean surface is essential for good paint adhesion. Make sure the deck is completely dry before applying any paint.
