"Entoni showed up early, ready to work! He worked efficiently and carefully. I asked for a patch on tiles that needed to be replaced. He communicated with me every step of the way to ensure I would have a job that I loved. Unfortunately, my original tiles are discontinued, so we talked about sizes that would work best. Entoni did an excellent job on the patch and gave me a reasonable price. Entoni communicates with you to make sure that he job he does is to your satisfaction. I would recommend him for any tiling project and will use him again for any future work I need done."

"Shamrock Painting did a great job on the interior of my mother's 3-bedroom house in Riverdale, which I have been preparing to put on the market. Kevin and his team did an outstanding job repairing the walls and ceilings - there was decades worth of peeling paint, staples and nails, holes, tape and glue, water damage and other stains everywhere - and repainting them. They did not take any shortcuts and were highly professional in their tools, materials and techniques, and in communications about the work. Now the walls and ceilings are perfect and the house looks really good! Moreover, their price was extremely reasonable. Shamrock Painting has my highest recommendation."

"A friend advised that we check out Home Advisor, we had never heard about it before so we gave it a chance and I am so happy that we did. We went on their website to review the recommended companies and saw that Handymack Handyman Services stood out with their reviews. We can now see why, we are SO happy with our deck! There were a few minor scheduling mishaps throughout the process, but overall they did a wonderful job. They were willing to do a style of stairs off our deck that they had never done before and were very helpful with the planning process of it all. I was impressed that they did everything in their power to ensure our happiness with the results as well as making sure everything would be up to code, safe and sturdy. I think all parties are very happy with the result! They had great ideas throughout the process that added a personal touch to the deck and made it look even better than imagined. We will definitely use their services for future projects in a heartbeat and will refer to all of our friends as well! We are very satisfied customers that can not wait to enjoy our deck for many years to come!!"

"Danny Vitulli and his crew were excellent! They came into a disaster of a remodel left behind by a prior contractor and made everything right and beautiful. With changes mid stream and difficult city inspectors they got the job done in a timely manor at a reasonable cost. Neat and clean every day. I would recommend them high. Great to work with. Camille"

Customers say: Quality work

"Steve Tart (the son from Steve and Sons) returned my initial call quickly and came out to give me an estimate as requested. I was on a tight time frame because I am leaving the area and wanted to take care of this work beforehand so I won't have to worry. Once I decided to hire him, he went out of his way to schedule my small project - replacing the horrifically leaky downspout and cleaning the gutter. He came out when he promised, with all the required materials and tools. My dow spout is now complete and the work was done beautifully! I'm actually hoping for a storm so I can "see" how well it works! Steve is personable, easy to work with, and does great work. I couldn't ask for more! He is now officially my go to guy for any future work or any issues that crop up."

"I would give Champion and Danny six stars if I could. We have a 1934 Tudor house with original wood (oak) windows and doors. The old single pane windows were drafty and hard to open, and the exterior storm windows (from the 1950s) were ugly and ineffective. The wood window frames and doors were beat up and the shellac finish had bubbled and cracked. I go into more detail about the window replacement shopping process below because it took us a long time to figure out the right way to do it. Danny knew exactly how to do this job! The window installation was fairly simple but the refinishing of the window frames and doors was really handcrafted, so the entire job took six weeks from the construction start date (and perhaps another eight weeks from time we agreed on the scope until the installation began). Danny and every member of his team had exceptional customer service. They arrived on time, and called to let us know they were five minutes away. Every person associated with the job put in a full day's work with exceptional focus on the job at hand. There were frequent check-ins to make sure we were on board with decisions about say leaving hardware on the doors or variations in stain color. They left the house spotless every day and were considerate of noise, cats, home office work, everything. The work is stunning and reflects craftsmanship and attention to detail that went far beyond our standards. The windows Danny recommended (Trimline), while not a name brand, are fantastic and much better quality in our view than the Andersen product sold by Home Depot. The price was fair and worth every pretty penny. Danny threw in a major gift "a custom rebuild of an attic window frame and door" that we would have happily paid for. More research showed that Trimline was a smallish factory outside of Pennsylvania, and the Brooklyn Heights historic district approved them. We compared a sample to the Andersen window at Home Depot and there was no comparison. Trimline was sturdier, easier to operate, aesthetically cleaner lines and indeed all that has proved to be the case now that they are installed. The warranties seemed to be identical to Andersen. Danny was extra careful in the measurements and ordering”texting me frequently to make sure he had the correct finish and style on the hardware, for example. Danny said the windows (we have 24 of them) would take a week to install and he could do it if the weather was above 40 degrees I think. So we installed in the middle of January (!); we went on a trip, and they were in place when we returned. Danny and the installer both made sure we checked every window and understood how to open them for cleaning. Very easy. The staining of the wood interior window panels and the sanding and staining of the window frames and doors (22 doors) was labor intensive to say the least. Danny's subcontractor John created a test window so we could review the color of the stain and the satin poly coat."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Limewash and whitewash are two techniques used to give brick a light, matte finish, but they differ in composition, application, and permanence. The best choice depends on your aesthetic goals and the specific surface.

Composition

  • Limewash: A natural and environmentally friendly option made from limestone, water, and sometimes pigments. It is breathable and soaks into porous surfaces like brick.

  • Whitewash: Traditionally made from lime, water, chalk, and binders, but a similar look can be achieved with watered-down white paint. It is paint-based and sits on top of the surface.

Appearance and Finish

  • Limewash: Provides a natural, textured appearance that allows the brick's character to show through. It offers a more traditional finish.

  • Whitewash: Creates a softer, more opaque finish, often used for a rustic or shabby-chic style.

Application and Permanence

  • Limewash: Is semi-permanent and can be removed, making it a good choice if you might want to change the look in the future. It requires more skill to apply and cannot be used on previously painted brick.

  • Whitewash: Is a more permanent solution. It is more forgiving to apply and can be used on painted brick. However, because it sits on the surface, it can trap moisture.

Ultimately, if you want a breathable, natural, and reversible finish for unpainted brick, limewash is a great option. If you need a more permanent, opaque coating that can be applied over painted surfaces, whitewash is the better choice. Whitewashing may also be more economical, costing approximately $1.40 to $4.20 per square foot.

The best way to protect a deck is to prevent damage from UV light, water, mold, mildew, insects, and abrasive cleaning methods. Sweep regularly to prevent debris that hides bugs and traps moisture that can result in mold or mildew growth. Use a deck cleaner once a year to remove algae, mold, and mildew. Avoid using pressure washers on high, as they can damage the wood. Applying a deck sealant can protect the wood from UV and water damage, and adding shade can also reduce sunlight damage.

Liquid rubber is great for waterproofing, but it can damage your deck if it’s not applied correctly. First, it can trap moisture in the wood if the deck isn’t completely dry before application.  Second, applying it too thickly can create a heavy, rubbery surface layer that peels and cracks under fluctuating temperatures. For the best results, ensure the wood is completely dry before application, and apply the liquid rubber in thin, even coats. A quick inspection every now and then will help you catch any issues early, keeping your deck protected and looking its best.

If you have wood decking, there are several common deck problems that you might encounter. For example, your natural wood boards may fade over time due to things like sunlight, weather, and debris. On top of that, some types of wood decking can rot, grow mold, and attract destructive pests—including termites, carpenter ants, and woodpeckers.
