"Fabiano was a pleasure to work with. He was punctual when showing up to provide an estimate and to the project itself. He gave me accurate time lines and updates in real time when fixing my deck. After comparing 4 other contractors to replace my deck, Fabiano gave the best quote with no surprises and the estimate was spot on! I would absolutely recommend Fabiano for your next project"

"Prior to having Dan come out I received several quotes from other contractors listed on Angie's List, but I was not comfortable with their proposals and level of painting knowledge.  After meeting Dan, I felt completely confident that he understood what I was looking to do with the job and was willing to ensure that I would be happy with the results after the job was completed.  Although his bid was not the lowest, I decided to move forward with Dan due to his knowledge, customer focus and willingness to back up his work with a 3 year warranty.

We arranged a start time, and his team was right on schedule.  His work leader, John, met with me before getting started and detailed what would be done each day and the approximate timeline.  John is a professional who has been painting a long time and knows the difference between the right way and the quick, easy way.  At every stage of the process, I felt completely comfortable that the crew knew what they were doing and would make sure the job was done right. 

Due to some rainy and windy conditions, it took about 2 weeks to get the entire job completed.  We did encounter some small issues along the way, but after speaking with Dan all of my concerns were addressed and corrected quickly and fairly.  Dan's only concern was my complete satisfaction with the work, and this was evident in every conversation. 

My house looks incredible now, and I would recommend Dan and his crew to anyone who is looking for a professional team that gets the job done the right way.

"Ryan’s painting work was executed with an exceptional level of skill and attention to detail. From the outset, the floors were protected, and all the walls were patched. The painters were methodical in their preparation, thoroughly protecting our household items. We were very happy with the finished product and will definitely hire him again for all our painting needs."

"I feel sorry for amyone that had an opportunity to work with this family owned, local business, and wind up using someone else. Ive had an amazing experience with Jay, his brother Serge and the crew that worked on my home for 3 weeks. They have worked closely with my designer and painted the entire home. We also found out that they do carpemtry too and had them do the ceiling trays in the great room. I will be recomending them to all of my family. Terrific job LHI!"

"Juan takes great pride in his work and that of his team, and it shows. They finished up ahead of schedule, and did a wonderful job on the project, smoothing the new drywall to existing cement board. He provided great suggestions, and had a very fair price--great price when factoring in the quality of the work. After they were finished, the house was left in a condtion that was better than when they arrived. We will be sure to contact Juan for the next project as well.
Thank you!

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.

The best temperature to paint a pool deck is between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit, because many paints and sealers require temperatures warm enough for the chemical reaction to take place for proper curing. The paint should not be allowed to freeze, and temperatures above 90 degrees can cause the paint to dry too quickly, also preventing the chemical reaction from following through to completion.

It’s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that’s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat.
