"I recently hired Upstate Home Repairs for a variety of tasks around my home, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results! From start to finish, he was professional, efficient, and incredibly detail-oriented. Every job, whether big or small, was completed perfectly, and the quality of the work was outstanding. What really stood out, though, was the customer service. Steve was friendly, approachable, and took the time to explain everything thoroughly, answering all of my questions. It was clear that he takes pride in the work and values customer satisfaction. I truly appreciate how punctual and reliable Steve was throughout the process. It’s rare to find someone who not only does great work but also provides such a positive, stress-free experience. I highly recommend Upstate Home Repairs for anyone looking for top-notch service and quality craftsmanship. Will definitely be calling again for future projects!"

He quickly assessed my bathroom faucet leak under the sink, (We had 2 leak spots!) & repaired them. He unclogged my tub too. I will definitely use Pat again when needed. I highly recommend him."

"Removal of popcorn ceilings is not an easy thing to do. They did it quickly, covering and removing everything daily with plastic. Then painting professionally. Even sent someone to clean afterwards."

Painting questions, answered by experts

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

Yes, staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan, typically by five to 10 years. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and rot over time. Applying a treatment creates a protective shield that helps prevent splintering, fading, and decay, preserving the wood's strength and appearance. A combination stain and sealer often provides the best protection, as it soaks into the wood grain rather than just sitting on top. This offers superior defense against UV damage and rot and lasts longer than a sealer alone. To maintain the wood's natural look, consider using a near-translucent stain. You should plan to reapply the stain or sealer every two to three years.

You can only change your neighbor's fence with their permission. A neighbor's fence is their property, and altering it without their consent could constitute trespassing or property damage, which may have legal consequences. If you have concerns or disagreements about your neighbor's fence, communicate with them openly and try to reach a mutually agreeable solution. If you believe the fence violates local zoning laws or property regulations, consult with local authorities or seek legal advice to address the issue through proper channels. 

Regular staining, sealing, and inspecting for rot or insect damage prolongs fence lifespan.
