"Matt and his team painted our entire house, and we are so pleased with the results. Some of our rooms use very dark colors, and we have a good amount of complex moldings, so we needed (and got!) a very skilled painter. We chose to use Farrow & Ball paint, and between that and the summer humidity, it took a couple of weeks longer than planned. He was great about communicating with us about the finish date when it became apparent that there would be a delay, and was happy to schedule around other work we had planned on the house. Matt and his team were precise and careful with our floors and belongings. He is also professional and just plain nice. Would definitely use him again!"

"I found Shamrock through Angie’s List. I knew nothing about them, they weren’t a recommendation from a friend….just hired them based on their reviews here. I am now a believer In Angie’s List…..cause I found a painter for life! THANK YOU ANGIE and all past reviewers who helped me make the right decision! Such a pleasure to meet a contractor that actually shows up and ALWAYS shows up on time! Has a fantastic work ethic, never a break, except lunch hour (was there from 8 or 9 -5 or later everyday) – doesn’t book 2-3 jobs at once, so doesn’t leave early to go finish other jobs, AND is even more detail oriented than I am (and I’m tough to beat!) Kevin and his partner painted and did wallpaper removal on a one bedroom apartment for us. Apartment hadn’t been painted in many many years…. and with apartment steam heat and windows closed all the time (elderly occupant), walls had major cracking and chipping of old paint. The amount of plastering to be done was huge. Due to the shape of walls, I didn’t hold out much hope of the walls looking decent even after paint and plastering, but Shamrock was able to get it done. In addition, there was old wallpaper upon wallpaper to remove and again they did it, and did it beautifully. The whole apartment has smooth walls / window sills and looks brand new! You would never have known it was as bad as it was! A few days after job was done, I did notice one area on a pipe that was off in color (probably painted once, instead of twice like rest of pipe (really minor and easily missed due to lighting). Although he had left us the left-over paint, I called Kevin to ask if he could come back to do that part of pipe again. He apologized and without hesitation said he’d gladly come back. Told him I’d get back to him with date he can return, but before I could make the appointment, illness struck and weeks turned into 2 months later…. And then… HE CALLED ME… to remind me that he wants to come back to do the pipe! I thought I was dreaming! He remembered that small non-issue item??? NOW, come on….what contractor does that.... and... 2 months later??!! This is your proof of attention to detail and how they want you to be happy with the job!!! To Kevin the job wasn't complete until the pipe was re-done. I’ve worked with many, many, many contractors and this has NEVER happened, nor can I imagine any one of them even thinking about a job 5 minutes after its done! All contractors should have Kevin's business sense and work ethic. Bottom line: They are hard working, no-nonsense, honest, nice guys, focused on your job, extremely detail oriented, will make sure you are happy with the results. Started & completed the job on time. I am a happy camper that highly recommends Shamrock!"

"We hired Abdul, of RRS Builders, to take over a stalled deck construction and installation project from a previous contractor who had disappeared with our money. We had a hard time finding someone to take over the partially-started, messy job, requiring many corrections. We found RRS through the subcontractor who had fabricated the frame of the deck, and had also been robbed by the first contractor. Before signing a contract, we thoroughly researched RRS and Abdul through a private investigator, who found no problems. Abdul corrected all of the first contractor's mistakes and built us a beautiful deck in just a couple weeks. His crew was reliable, meticulous, and respectful and his pricing was reasonable. DOB immediately approved the deck on our land marked building without any issues. We would love to work with Abdul again and will go to RRS immediately with any future jobs."

"The team from Precision did an incredible job! They did everything from exterior deck work (repairs, replacement of rotted wood and new sealing stain), to gutting our bathrooms and kitchen for a brand new look, to installing amazing new hardwood floors (perfectly!) to fixing all the small cracks in our plaster walls, before repainting them! They even rebuilt our interior entry stairs from the ground up. They are pros, have competitive pricing and completed the job on time and on budget. A+ for the entire team. Highly recommended."

Deck Staining 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.

For homes in areas with extreme weather, high heat, or intense sun exposure, high-quality acrylic paint is the best option. Acrylic paint is durable, resistant to both heat and cold, and provides a protective barrier with excellent UV resistance. For best results, look for acrylics that contain natural earth pigments, which are better suited for resisting sun damage. While oil-based paint is also durable, it can be prone to fading in high heat and can become too viscous to apply easily in cold temperatures. Additionally, choosing a neutral or light color like gray, beige, or white can help, as these colors absorb less heat than darker shades.

The need for a topcoat on a painted deck depends on various factors, primarily the type of paint used and your desired level of protection. Many premium deck paint formulations are self-sealing, eliminating the necessity for an additional topcoat. These paints often have built-in additives that substantially protect against moisture, UV rays, and everyday wear and tear.

Here's the deal with leaving used rags covered in oil-based stain lying around in a pile: Depending on the conditions, these rags can take just an hour or up to a few days to combust. The source of ignition is caused by trapped heat that can be compounded if the rags are near a heat source.

Waterproof paint creates a barrier to hold back moisture, but it doesn’t eliminate the source of the water. If you hire a basement waterproofing contractor, many will tell you that waterproof paint is only a temporary solution. On average, you can expect it to last from six months to two years in a wet basement before deteriorating.
