"This is the second time I have used them. Once again they did a phenomenal job!! I would give 10 stars if I could. Not only did they install new drywall in my garage but repaired the ceiling and then primed and painted. I can’t praise them enough and the job that they do. True professionals fair price and great people. Trevor you and your team nicked it out of the park AGAIN!!!! I added some before photos as well as the completed job😁"

"I Can't say enough good things about this company. Big company expertise with that small personal feel from a small company. I initially reached out over some power issues but had to put it off after discovering a roofing issue.2 months later I contacted PBS and asked to schedule something. He gave me several time slots he could be there for a quote. He came to look and I had a few issues that he had to work around in order to hook up a new panel upgrade (moving it to another side of the house as well) and some other issues. The day of the bulk of the install proved to be very difficult for him and his crew. This project was extremely difficult and took a very long dayof work. However the crew never gave up and just keep pushing to get it done. It looks beautiful, he took great care of my house while working in it and I am deeply impressed with their work ethic. Pricing was very fair as well. Highly highly recommend this team for big and small projects!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

The staining or painting process involves cleaning the deck, sanding surfaces, applying a primer (if needed), and carefully applying stain or paint for an even, lasting finish.

The best time to paint your deck is when temperatures are neither too cold (below 60 degrees) nor too hot (above 85 degrees). Always paint your deck when there’s no risk of rain. For fast-drying paint like acrylic or latex, ensure your deck can dry for at least four hours. Oil-based paints take longer to dry and may require 48 hours to completely cure.

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.

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.
