"Tom did an awesome job painting my metal awning. I was first quoted by someone else for an outrageous price because he said he needed to build scaffolds to paint it. Tom was my second quote. He took detailed measurements, broke down all costs, and took the time to explain everything. He also did not need scaffolds. He is extremely fair with his pricing, attentive to detail, and great with his recommendations. My metal awning looks brand new. I would definitely call Tom for my next project and recommend him to someone else."

"We bought a home two years ago that was built in 1927, and we’ve been in the process of renovating it. It is our home, so we’re doing the work so we can continue to live in the house, not to sell it. We hired Robert Dell’Aquila to replaster the ceilings and walls in our living room, dining room, foyer, and staircase. The old ceilings in our LR and DR were old 12x12 tiles over furring strips. The old plaster on our foyer and staircase ceilings was a “stipple” texture, and the walls in the various rooms were two different types of textured plaster, high-relief “orange-peel” and swirled. It was ugly and had numerous cracks in it. Robert and his crew did a wonderful job of giving us smooth plaster walls and beautiful “skip-trowel” textured plaster ceilings in all those areas. The whole crew did good work, but Tony Baker, who is Robert’s partner, is particularly noteworthy. Tony supervised the job and did the ceilings. The work he did on the ceilings is beautiful. He did a fabulous job. As for the walls, I couldn’t believe they were able to give us such a smooth finish over those old heavily textured walls. Robert worked with us to accommodate our schedule delays when a contractor who was supposed to do some preliminary work for us (taking down the crown molding, removing the old ceiling tiles, and some unrelated electrical work) bailed on us after months of delays, and we had to hire a different contractor to do that work. I appreciate that Robert was easy to contact and responsive, and I could communicate with him by text or email. When we were finally ready, Robert scheduled our job to begin within a week. The work took four days and each day the crew was prompt, worked hard, was meticulous, and was thorough. They paid a lot of attention to detail and cleaned up well when the job was completed. The price seemed fair for the amount of work we had them do. We are very happy we chose Robert Dell’Aquila and Tony Baker to do the work for us, and we would recommend them without any reservation."

"Phil and his team did a wonderful job digging up my old patio and replacing it with a deck built with Trex materials. The job was done professionally and he worked with me, even when I added additional scope to the job. I highly recommend them and plan on using P Sqrd LLC for future projects."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

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.

Avoid using cleaning products that are abrasive or contain bleach or acidic components on composite decking to avoid discoloration. Early-generation Trex decking isn’t designed to handle pressure washer cleaning—and if you use them on second-generation boards, always use a low setting to avoid the risk of damage that can risk voiding your warranty.

Deciding whether to stain or paint a pool deck depends on your budget, desired look, and the deck's material. Both options can work. Paint offers a wider variety of color options, provides excellent water resistance, and can last longer. However, it requires a primer and can eventually fade or peel. Stain is often cheaper, easier to apply, and penetrates the wood for a more natural look and longer-lasting finish. It also has great water resistance. The downsides are fewer color options and the need for a sealant. The choice can also depend on the deck material; for example, staining may be a better option for concrete as it bonds well and lasts longer than paint.

If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.
