"Dave was very easy to work with. He was very prompt in replying once I sent out the request. He did a great job working with some large tiles that I picked out for a backsplash. He was very cognizant of keeping the areas clean. Very friendly and very hard-working. We really appreciated his services."

"CDJ Remodeling did a great job with our project. We hired them to paint rooms, doors and trim, and a challenging project painting and staining a staircase. We had a tight deadline which they met by working long days and late nights. They stuck to the quoted price even after running into some unexpected complications. Chris and Jess were responsive, attentive, great to work with, and very nice people."

"I haven't reviewed that one because that was a disaster. The thing is I tried to get my money back through Angie's List, in the end Paul at Meistersinger actually did give me a paraded portion of my money back so I felt like in the end it was settled fairly so I don't really wanna like you know I don't want to generate the guy's reputation. He just wasn't very professional. I mean he was late the two days he was here, he ended up leaving early both days, he didn't call me to tell me he was gonna leave early on the second day, he just left me a note on my stairs. He didn't get a full room painted, he was very slow, he spilled paint, he cursed I mean he just didn't seem like a professional painter."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

You can use latex or acrylic paint outdoors. Although acrylic paint tends to last longer outside, it also costs more, so if you’re painting the outside of your house, for instance, latex paint is often a go-to option. However, acrylic will be your best choice if you want to spend some extra money for added durability.

Various kinds of substances and deck preservatives act as protective coatings for wood to prevent rot, which is caused by water getting into the wood and creating cracks and splits. Stains, paints, and sealants are the three best options to protect your wood, but there are also oils, varnishes, and waxes available. You’ll need to reapply sealant at least once per year, and you should inspect your wood deck regularly to look for signs of damage or general wear and tear.

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.

Yes, you must thoroughly clean your deck before staining. If you don't, dirt, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped between the wood and the new stain. This not only looks unsightly but also prevents the stain from penetrating the wood properly, reducing its ability to protect the deck from weather and UV rays. As a result, the stain won't last as long or look as good. Any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning for the wood to dry completely before applying stain.
