"I was so impressed with Wilber and his employees that in addition to painting our deck, I also hired him to pressure wash our deck and fence, replace the lattice on our pergola, as well as perform some other minor wood work. His responsiveness, quality of work and price were all excellent and would be hard to match. I have already referred him to several others in our neighborhood and look forward to hiring him again in the future!"
"George was on time, neat and did a great job painting my daughter's room. He also patched up and painted a wall in my basement; it looks good as new. I'd definitely use George again."
"Manny and his team did a fantastic job on staining my deck! Got the old paint off with great detail then stained it for a great finish. When I noticed something that was concerning, he redid the section to make sure I was pleased, no questions asked. He was punctual, kind and fast! Highly recommended and will be using him for other projects. Great experience all around!"

"Jakob is honest and was great to work with. The finished product was high quality. He and his team are fast and reliable. My redone deck and patio looks absolutely pristine. Highly recommend him."
"I called Efren about a retainer wall that had many cracks which needed to be repaired and painted.It went very well. I also mentioned that the stucco on the back and side of my house could use a paint job. He said they can do that. Well, they did do that. Plus, they painted my cellar door in back of the house. Canopy in front of the house was scraped and painted. They even installed a handicap bar by my side door which I really needed. And few other small things. It worked out very well for me. They did an excellent job. I would definitely recommend Efren and his crew to others."
"He did a great job exactly how I wanted. Was professional and always on time. Great price for the job. Went over color schemes and textures for my deck. I would definitely recommend him for your next painting project."
"Moises and his crew repaired water rotted wood in difficult locations and completely finished the garage to every detail from insulation to molding, as shown in pictures here. They thought of every detail that shows their pride over their work. Not only is their work top notch, but they are also easy to work with and very communicative through the whole process. I have already hired them for a second job."
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.
It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.
If you don’t treat a cedar fence, it will turn from reddish brown to gray over time. You can keep the cedar from graying and retain its attractive, deep red color by sealing your cedar fence with a stain that keeps the wood’s oils in and serves as a barrier against the sun’s UV rays.
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.
Choose based on climate, finish preference (glossy, matte), and durability. Tailored coatings also provide longevity.
