"Exceptional work and totally professional. Everyone who Anton brought onto this job was a great craftsman, and each was polite, arrived early, worked the whole time diligently, and seemed to really specialize in whatever their job was. The level of work is exceptional, the attention to detail really impressive. I work from home, so I kind of had my eye on the guys throughout the job, and just watching them size and cut each piece of siding not only put me at ease, but also taught me a lot about carpentry. The dry wall on the interior is top-grade. I got fussy over paint colors, and Anton was gracious and accommodating with my changes of heart. Anton also has a deep knowledge of historic, reclaimed woods, as well as quite an inventory to pick from. He was so good with the cedar trim on the exterior that I had him frame a painting to hang in our main house in the same style and it looks great. Best of all, they came up with solutions to problems I didn't even know I had, such as how to properly frame the exterior light that I installed myself before they got here (see photos). Please note that the exterior work is not painted in the photos, as it is too cold to paint, so we'll wait until Spring."

Customers say: Quality work

"Highly recommend! Provides quick estimates and delivers quality work in a very timely manner. Very responsive throughout the process. We were looking to update our outdated home with a modern, Scandinavian aesthetic and they delivered 100%. We started with interior painting. We were thrilled with the speed and quality of the work so we hired them for a lot more work! - They replaced/rebuilt our outdated stairs, banisters, and spindles. - Stained exterior of the house matte black. - Replaced rotted deck boards and stained white. - Cemented and sealed minor cracks in the foundation. - Replaced front door. We are new to the area, moved up from Brooklyn and Agape set us up with a beautiful home. When we inevitably have more work, we will be calling these guys."

"Joe is great. He stained my front and back porches, and is such a friendly guy to work with. Price was within my budget so I had him paint an accent wall as well. Really good experience. Definitely recommend him!"

"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

Whether to paint or stain a deck depends on your personal preference for appearance and budget. Stain provides a natural look with a range of undertones, is typically less expensive, and may only require one coat, but it does not last as long as paint. Paint offers a sleeker finish with a virtually unlimited color palette. Both options will protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear.

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.

The best paint for an older deck depends on the material and whether or not your deck already has a coat of paint. Generally, if your deck already has paint on it, you should choose the same type of paint when repainting the deck. For example, if an old deck has oil-based paint on it, stick with oil; if your deck has water-based paint, choose water-based paint. 

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

No, you don't need to stain Ipe decking, although you can if you want to change the color. You will, however, need to apply a UV coating if you don't want the natural color to fade. Speak to a deck staining specialist near you to discuss the best options if you want to stain your decking. And remember that you’ll need to seal your Ipe wood deck annually to protect it from scratches and Mother Nature.
