"I was extremely pleased with the work done on my patio. Jason is a very hard worker and is focused on making sure of the customers satisfaction. I would highly recommend Jog pressure washing and cleaning."
"Maria and her team were very professional and courteous. They worked well together and hardly ever took breaks. This team hand brushed the entire house and it looks great. Clean-up was well done too. Maria was one of the only painters in the area that was willing to work us into her very busy schedule. She knew we had a very strict timeline and the job had to be finished quickly (we had renters arriving). Despite all the rain we had last week and an unfortunate personal issue, they got the job done just in time. I'm grateful for Maria and her team and their diligence. We would recommend this team and would definitely hire them again. Thanks Maria! "

"I was very pleased with the work. The job required new studs for the drywall as the cottage was built before 1930. The contractor answered any questions, gave estimates to the work and delivered in a timely fashion. I would recommend and use them again."
"Jonathon was GREAT--his customer service was EXCELLENT--We had him do several jobs for us and our daughters house----He trimmed tree limbs--trimmed all of our bushes--took out 4 LARGE OVERGROWN bushes--planted new bushes--replaced stone for a DRIVEWAY--cleaned the backyard debris--PRESSURE WASHED A 3 story aluminum sided house--cleaned all the gutters for 2 houses--put top soil in the entire backyard and seeded--took all the excess debris from all the projects away--ALL WITHIN THE BUDGET THAT I HAD--the only suggestion that I would have for his business is to make his quotes a lot more detailed and go over his quote in person or by phone call BEFORE he starts the job"
Opt for an interior wood stain that is rated for your type of wood. Consider your personal style preferences as well as the overall use of the room when choosing a color. Remember, the color you see at the store may look different on your actual floors once applied. This is why if you have the chance, it’s helpful to test a few options on a scrap piece of wood in the room first. Once you narrow it down, you can test a small patch on an inconspicuous area in the room to see it on the actual floors.
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.
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.
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.
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.
