"Slower than expected; due to rain and storms. Normally a crew of 4 experienced painters showed up at 9 am and often stayed until 5:30 or 6 pm. They laid tarps everywhere and were respectful to our neighbors. Excellent detail and trim work. They stored all equipment and replaced deck furniture daily. Excellent crew. Quiet and efficient."

"James was great to deal with, even though we never met. He was the first to call me back from my request through Angi. This property was unoccupied, I gave James the code to get in, which he promptly scheduled a visit to give me a quote. Days later, we agreed on a price and Ingersoll started the job a couple weeks later.... completed. (4 Bedroom ranch, painted all the rooms and ceilings). I just went to my vacation home this weekend and I was totally impressed with the great job Ingersoll did. I never knew they were there! He also got my heat running. Recommend these guys any day!"

"I had my daughter's old bedroom painted from a deep dark turquoise to a light gray. The painter arrived on time, and did a wonderful job. He took off the light and outlet covers and made sure the items were there so when the paint dried I could put them back on. The price was as quote and they did an incredible job. I will never try and paint a room again myself."

"Needed our big wrap around porch repainted. Called Fourever cure and they got back to me right away. The guys ended up doing a great job and used extra trim paint to redo the door. Would recommend if you need a quality job done quick in the area."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years.

When applying multiple coats, wait four to six hours for each coat to dry. Not waiting long enough can result in streaks, peeling, and uneven color. Plus, it will be more difficult to discern where the second coat has already been applied.

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.

Painted decks typically require a new coat about once every ten years. In between new coats, it's best to maintain your deck by regularly removing debris, washing it down with non-abrasive cleaners, and staying ahead of structural issues, such as loose boards and rotting wood. In some cases, painting a small section of your deck affected by damage or the sun can lower your costs and workload.

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.
