"Clei was wonderful to work with. He kept me updated constantly and was very responsive to all my requests…he even suggested the perfect color for my shutters after the samples I chose didn’t work out! He also repaired and painted my old deck, which everyone else said couldn’t be done, making it look like new. He did a beautiful job on both my house and my deck, and I highly recommend him. I will definitely use him for any future painting jobs."

"We just hired Jorge/GMC Landscape to mow our lawn, and so glad we did. He is very personable, professional, and cares about his work. My neighbor had some extra clean up on her property (as she hired GMC too) - Jorge and his worker did a GREAT job! I am sure she agrees! In addition, he will be plowing our driveway(s) this winter. Seeing how detailed and hard working he is, I am confident he will not disappoint. ð"

"Anton, the owner of European Craftsman and Remodeling, has done a lot of work for us over the past few years. He has painted and fixed the entire exterior of our home, repaired our roof, built a beautiful front patio with stonework, and also re-finished our cedar outdoor deck. This man is an absolute top-rate craftsman of the highest order. Every single job that he has done for us has been done with great care, detail, and amazing quality. All of this done with complete trust, no price increases unless there is an impending issue that comes up, and extreme reliability. We have other work that we need done, and there is absolutely nobody else that I will ever call in the Hudson Valley - Anton is our man! We have had nightmare issues in the past finding good carpenters and contractors - they are usually not reliable, do garbage or incorrect work, overcharge, etc so when we found Anton, we were amazed and are now thrilled. If you need something taken care of in your home or want to upgrade some appearance, painting, stonework, repair, decks, I give my highest recommendation to call Anton. I would rate his entire work for us at a 10/10 and A++ rating, no joke. I am simply a very happy customer. Frank"

"We couldn't have been more pleased with the quality of the service and the work that was done. General Painting is a professionally run operation; we appreciated the attention to detail that was evident from the job estimate, contract and follow through on promises. Ours is an old shingled farm house that needed the wood shingle to be stained and the trim to be painted. The prep work they did was impressive and the crew was unfailingly polite and responsive to any concerns or directives. We will be using them again for interior work in the near future!!! We whole heartedly recommend them."

"Rich and his team are truly professional painters and the best I have seen in the painting business. They stained the exterior of our home in 2021 and painted several high-ceiling rooms. They provided a fair price inclusive of paint/stain and truly are experts in painting. There are people that will paint for you and then there are professional painters who can quote a job, show up with all the necessary equipment for complex jobs and finish on-time. Highly recommend Rich and his team!"

"Edgar and his crew performed very professionally and with great communication. Despite all of the weather delays, he managed to squeeze in some work when they could. He always kept me abreast of whether or not when his crew would be able to start work. I appreciated the constant communication because we often wonder if the contractor we hire is someone we can trust. Edgar has proven to be trustworthy and reliable. His price was more reasonable than three other contractors. His work is impeccable and he also pointed out future repair work that would need to be taken care of soon. I will be definitely using him in the future."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

It’s best to use an exterior latex acrylic paint to promote maximum adhesion to composite decking. This flexible paint type can better cope with the natural expansion and contraction that can occur with composite deck boards. Oil-based paints won’t adhere as effectively and are more likely to crack and peel as the boards flex. Testing whether your chosen paint will stick on an inconspicuous section or a spare board is a good idea.

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.

You’ll need to restrain your deck when you notice fading, cracking, peeling, or mold and mildew over a moderate to large area, or when it’s become especially difficult to clean. As for how often to stain a deck, plan to do it every two to three years or whenever you start to notice extended damage.

No, it is not okay to paint over rotted wood. Painting over rotted wood will not address the underlying issue and can trap moisture, leading to further decay. Properly addressing the rotted wood by removing and replacing or repairing the damaged areas is necessary before you can even consider painting.

Oxygen bleach uses hydrogen peroxide as a base and won’t harm wood when using it as a cleaner. On the other hand, chlorine bleach breaks down wood at the cellular level and causes irreversible harm. Although you may not see immediate damage to wood after exposing it to chlorine bleach, its strength and integrity are now compromised.
