"Gary and his team were excellent! They set realistic expectations for the time line of the project and were able to exceed it by a day. Gary explained in detail all of the work he could do and the quote outlined the conversation. He was able to start quickly and complete the job quickly. As the job progressed, he made good suggestions on ways to improve the exterior design of our house with strategic color placements and repairs. The team went above and beyond the initial quote when they came across a detail that would improve our home, rather than just ignore it because it wasn't quoted. They were also able to accommodate a last minute request for additional work on a part of the house we did not initially intend to be painted. They cleaned up after themselves and left the property free of construction and painting materials. I highly recommend them and will use them again for other projects."

"Very pleased with the repairs and painting of my deck. Looks like new again. Two young men worked non- stop out in the boiling sun and were very meticulous about finishing the project correctly. They replaced rotten boards, sanded and scraped the entire deck and gave the deck two coats of paint. I will definitely be using them for future projects."

"Wonderful…I would definitely use his services again. He took extra care to cover all items. He was even helpful in the decision of the paint color for the bedroom. He had all the equipment needed for the jobs. The job took a few days and he made sure to clean up everyday. Glad I chose this company, he did a tremendous job. I am loving the new colors."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.

You have a couple of options when choosing a durable pool deck coating. Epoxy is common and offers excellent stain and water resistance. Epoxy also withstands high temperatures and UV lighting, making it ideal for sunny spots. You can also add a coating to cement, which significantly lowers the temperature of the concrete, is environmentally safe, and makes cleanup a breeze.

Avoid using cleaning products that are abrasive or contain bleach or acidic components on composite decking to avoid discoloration. Early-generation Trex decking isn’t designed to handle pressure washer cleaning—and if you use them on second-generation boards, always use a low setting to avoid the risk of damage that can risk voiding your warranty.

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.

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.
