"Wonderful! He's very good. He did our roof a couple years ago too. Did a great job. Price was cheaper than everybody around. Cleanup was beautiful. We've had people here before doing our gutters that have just left a real mess and Jimmy was just meticulous with the clean up. He did a great job. He was here promptly when he told me he would be here and he cleaned them. He was only here about an hour. He gave me some advice about my downspouts. He did a great job. Good price too for gutters. I'd give him an excellent. He's been very prompt with us and good. When he tells you he's going to do something, he's here. We called several people. He was the cheapest and he did the best job. He's very nice too. A very nice person to deal with. He's good. He goes out of his way. A good guy."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Two coats of stain are ideal for the best protection and aesthetic appeal. However, if your decking is made of particularly dense hardwood, you may only need one coat. If you want an intense color, two coats are ideal.

Deck staining or painting safeguards wood against the elements through its protective layer, enhancing decay resistance, prolonging structural integrity, and improving visual appeal.

You don’t necessarily have to remove all the old paint before repainting your deck, but it’s best to remove as much as possible to ensure a smooth and long-lasting finish. Prioritize scraping off loose, peeling, or flaking paint, and sand down rough areas to create a smooth surface for the new paint to bond with.

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must. 

Aftercare includes routine cleaning, checking for water repellency, and promptly addressing any chips or peels, maintaining the deck's appearance and functionality.
