"He was honest and on time. He was a perfectionist. He cleaned everything when finished. A great price and value. We are having him back in two weeks, and he will be our only painter. Thank you! We are more than satisfied. What a relief to have the work of finding a true proffessional done for us!"
"I had a great experience with this contractor. I needed a quote on many projects and they were very versitile. I ended up only needing them for a painting project, but they did a great job, no hassle, they were the first and just about the only one who responded to my request on H.A. The price was very fair and the quality and efficiency of the work was greater than my expectations. I will continue to use this company in the future."

"My microwave oven broke right before the Thanksgiving holiday. Help!!! I called By All Means And More and, as usual, they rescued me. They installed my new microwave very quickly. They came just a few days after I called them and put me into their schedule as an emergency. I have used these guys for all sorts of construction and fixes around the house. They are friendly, courteous, clean and always do what they promised to do. They clean up after themselves beautifully. Their list of references is a mile long. ?"
"THE HOUSE ,DECK, OUTBUILDING, FURNITURE AND DOG KENNEL WERE ALL POWER WASHED PAINTED AND TRIMMED. THE OWNER DID THE PAINTING AND CHECKED ALL WORK DONE BY HIS HELPERS. WILL HIRE AGAIN FOR MY NEXT PAINTING JOB"
"Assessed the project within a 2 day timeframe ; provided a quote within a 1-2 day timeframe. Was patient in our approval process to get the job. Went above and beyond work asked of him outside the initial quote, without blinking an eye. Provided professional wall repair and professional painting. His work and his workers were professional and are proud of their work. Never said "he couldnt or wouldnt" do what I asked of him. Completed the job in a timely manner and corrected only a couple minor flaws the same day. Highly recommend for more work and will use this contractor in the future.
Contractor did not call me (harrass) to find out if quote was good or if he got the job. He was patient in our approval process even though it only took 2 days to approve."
"They have already been to my house three times! They put up my trampoline for me, Stained outdoor furniture for me, And then I have asked them to do a lot of other odd jobs. They work the whole time and are super professional!"
"Great response and customer service follow up. Offers other services such as bush removal and pressure washing of homes. They did an excellent job on mine!"
Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.
The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.
Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.
Yes, it's a good idea to sand the wall with fine-grit sandpaper after spackling, especially if you plan on painting. You can do this by hand or using a sander, but the idea is to ensure the spackle is flush with the wall. Sanding will give your wall a smooth, uniform finish and help your paint and wallpaper stay put.
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.
