"Antonio had his crew working at my home for 4 days. They were on time and Antonio inspected their work daily. Ortiz Custom Remodeling corrected the work on all my doors from an individual I hired prior. They did an excellent job. They had to cut out my bedroom door frame to install a 32" steel door and did that in an hour. I was amazed how quickly they installed it! They sanded, kilz and painted 6 interior doors, three double closet doors and one steel door. They removed the tri fold closest doors and framed in the double closet doors. All my doors fit perfectly and are beautiful. I'm so happy and plan to hire them again for my upcoming home improvement projects. They are awesome! I'm extremely grateful to all of them for their professionalism and kindness. I thank God that ANGi helped me find them. Ortiz stands above the rest of the companies and were also cheaper on the cost."

"While he was nice (no issues with personality), he arrived a half hour late, worked very slowly and took too many smoke breaks outside. He took about 3 hours to tape and prime the bathroom (which is pretty small) and after a lunch break he did re-caulk my kitchen counters. He then tried to paint the bathroom. At that time, he told me the paint was inferior and didn't adhere well so I had to go get a better paint - which I went out to do. In the mean time - he did spackle and touch up the walls where we had small blue paint tape marking where it had to be touched up. There were other spots in the house that he didn't get too though. When he finally started to repaint the bathroom with the better paint - he told me time on the coupon ran out and that he would have to come back over the weekend to finish the job (a couple of hours worth of work - up to $200). I had to decline and will paint the bathroom myself. So - overall, in the 8 hours, he did 2 of the 6 tasks on my list (granted the repaint of the bathroom required some prep work, not all tasks being equal I mean). I would have still thought the entire list was doable for a handyman in 8 hours. He must have guessed that he didn't do everything I asked and that I would leave a not great review...During the day I asked him for an estimate on painting my entire ceiling and he never got back to me on that estimate. I am sure he's capable of doing work at a fixed price (not time based). If time based, the meter will run and I believe you'll wind up spending a lot more than you expected to spend. I'm just glad my loss was limited to the price of the Angie's List coupon. Unfortunately, I'll now have to do the remainder of the work myself (which defeats the point of getting a handyman for 8 hours to bang it out!)."

Painting questions, answered by experts

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

Moisture and rot are the largest threat to wooden fences. Stain can help your wood fence last 15 to 20 years, but only if you choose a stain with waterproofing qualities or add a sealant. Oil-based stains create a thicker moisture barrier than water-based stains, though both are mold and mildew resistant. You’ll generally need to re-stain your fence every one to eight years to get full protection.

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 best time to stain a fence is when the weather is dry and temperatures are between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Late spring, early summer, and fall are typically the best seasons for this project. You should avoid staining during very hot weather, like in the middle of summer, or when it is raining. Heat and moisture can cause the stain to dry unevenly. Likewise, if it's too cold, such as in winter or early spring, the stain may not be able to dry fully. Before you start, check the forecast to ensure there will be no rain and low humidity for at least a few days.

While the answer varies based on weather, 10 a.m. is a good time to start painting. The dew will have dried, meaning there’s no moisture on the house, and the temperature will likely be moderate and the sunlight less direct. Starting mid-morning should also give you enough daylight and pleasant weather to work on the job for several hours.
