"As with my previous contacts with Dan Collins, the work was accomplished with professionalism, reliability, and excellent results.  Since I had been concerned about protecting a new deck from the ravages of the elements, and since I am no longer able to apply water treatments myself every one to two years, Dan had suggested going with Sherwin-Williams solid color stain, for maximum protection.  The trade-off was that solid color stain does not allow the wood grain to show through, and that was a trade-off that I was quite willing to make.
Dan's carpenter, George, measured the porch for the new decking, painted the new tongue and groove wood planks on all sides in the shop for maximum protection (after I had selected a color for the stain) and removed the old porch decking with an assistant, once the new decking was ready for installation.  The new deck was completed in two days, as had been previously estimated, and was ready for a final coat of the solid color stain.  Due to unavoidable circumstances, the painter who had been scheduled to apply the final coat on a Saturday was unable to do so.  Dan apologized and offered to come out on Sunday morning and apply the final coat of paint to the deck himself!  I thanked him for his consideration and accepted his offer.  He arrived ten minutes earlier than he had said he would arrive and completed the job with an attention to detail that I have come to associate with Dan Collins Painting.
I have heard nothing but compliments on the new porch deck from everyone who sees it, and I am completely satisfied with the results of this project with Dan Collins.  I will continue to use Dan for all of my painting needs and look forward to my next interaction with him.  
If you have need of a painter who goes beyond professional standards to provide outstanding service, reliability, integrity, and excellent results, Dan Collins should be the person you call.  You could not possibly do better!

"We chose Steve for the job of cleaning and staining our deck after talking to a few different contractors. Some of the things that we really liked were his knowledge of what he needed to do to get the job done right and to our specifications. We feel Steve really took the time to explained the process of what he was going to do and why. He kept is word with his commitments and was always on time and did an excellent job. Even though we never met in person it was one of the most pleasant contracting experiences we�ve ever had. We will use Steve again."

Process went great.

Very quick for the estimate, which originally included my Painting and also Power Washing and Staining my Deck. The owner revised my estimate quickly when I asked him to remove the deck from the proposal.

They came out the day before to prep the area and were able to finish most of the work.  I was unable to have anyone at the house that day to allow the front door to remain open to dry.  They came back the following week to paint the front door.

everything cme out great and I would definitely hire them the next time that I need painting done.

"I decided to replace all of the drywall in my 1st floor bathroom. It had some uneven spots on the walls from nails poking out from the drywall and several water stains on the ceiling from accidents (Grandsons) in the 2nd floor bathroom. I went on Angie's List to look for highly rated contractors and foound JA Drywall. I called them last Thursday and Juan answered the phone. I told him what I thought I needed done and asked for an estimate. He came out later that afternoon and we discussed the work. He gave me three options for the work and the price for each. I decided to go work the complete removal of all the existing drywall (Ceiling and walls) in the room, istallation of green board throughout and all spackling and sanding for a ready to paint finish.Agreed price was $800.00.  He agreed to start the following Monday.
   Monday morning his crew arrived and in less than 2 hours had removed all existing drywall and completely cleaned up the space. They then pointed out several framing issues in the room and agreed to stop work and allow me to correct these problems with a promise to returnwhen I was ready.
Tuesday morning I completed the corrections to the framing adding a couple of studs and better securing several others. I called Juan around Noon and he agreed to send his crew back the next day.
Wednesday morning thru to his word the crew arrived and within a couple of hours the room was completely rerocked and ready for taping. They called the taper and within an hour he was at the house applying the 1st layer of tape a spackle.
As agreed he came again Thursday and Friday morning and completed the spackling and sanding each time completely cleaning up after his work. The f
nished product looks great.   I need to ppoint out that everone connected with this company was friendly, polite and very professional. Yhey covered all areas with clean tarps and vacuumed all areas near where they worked.
I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for this kind of service. They were prompt, neat and very professional refusing payment until all work was completed. A great experience.

"As a first-time homeowner, finding the right contractor for a major renovation project was incredibly important to me and my family. We recently purchased a colonial-style home in Abington that needed significant cosmetic updates and repairs before we could move in. Wesley and the team at WNP Painting and Remodeling exceeded every expectation. In just two and a half weeks, they completely transformed our home. Their work included wallpaper removal, painting the entire interior, electrical and plumbing repairs, deck updates, fence installation, door installation, shutters, exterior trim work, luxury vinyl plank flooring, carpet installation, and much more. The quality of the work was outstanding, and the attention to detail was evident throughout the entire project. What impressed me most was Wesley's communication, honesty, and leadership. Since this was my first home renovation, I relied heavily on his expertise. He kept me informed every step of the way, explained issues when"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

To make sure the paint won’t bubble as you apply it, make sure to paint on a day that’s cooler than 85 degrees Fahrenheit. When the temperature is too high, the paint won’t dry evenly, which can result in bubbles forming on the surface. Another way to prevent paint from bubbling is to clean the walls, apply primer, and let everything dry completely before you begin.

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.

Provided conditions are ideal, staining an entire deck should take as little as a couple of hours and up to a couple of days to apply and cure. Additional procedures, like sealing a deck or using additional treatments, may extend the project by a few additional days.
