"Derek and team have been to our house twice and soon a third time. Derek came the night we moved in and gave us a quote for some urgent work. The team fit us into the schedule and knocked out one large room and a fire place. The quality of work was AMAZING. They just came back and did our dining room, entry way and three other rooms. Will have them back again in spring to finish the remainder of the house. I highly recommend their services! PS - they also do deck staining and tile. Will be inquiring about that as well."
"Mike and his crew did an amazing job. Mike's advice was valuable in helping us chose paint and color, the work was impeccable, fast and He even helped rebuild the wood ramp to our home and pained that as well. I have already suggested him to friends needing a pained deck. and will hire him for any future needs."
"I couldn’t be happier with the work Eastwood Carpentry did for us! From start to finish, they demonstrated exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. The quality of their work is simply outstanding, and it’s clear they take immense pride in what they do. Not only that, but their pricing was very reasonable, especially considering the high level of expertise they bring to the table. The team was clean, professional, and respectful of our home, always leaving the workspace spotless at the end of each day. Communication was seamless throughout the project, and they were always willing to accommodate our needs and preferences. If you’re looking for a reliable, skilled, and fairly priced construction company, Eastwood Carpentry is the way to go. Highly recommend!"
"Although CertaPro was the most expensive, we decided to go with them because they were the most responsive. We needed the house interior painted, which included filling in cracks and holes in the walls, caulking gaps between wall and trim and cutting out damaged drywall around moving cracks and joints, re-tape spackle until smooth. Removing loose nails in great room ceiling and replace with screws. Water spots from skylight leak primed with stain blocking primer, and various loose seams removed and replaced. A painter we used previously left several drips along wood the trim, which CertaPro would clean up if possible. Although the contract was signed at the beginning of June, the work wasn't started until August 21st and completed on August 23rd due to other projects they had. The work crew was professional and courteous. The work crew indicated that they were not able to clean the paint drips left on the wood trim by the previous painter. We had them paint the wood strip at the top of the trim in front of the kitchen the same color as the walls so that the drips would not be noticeable. The work crew cleaned up every day when they finished for the day. They did a good job. The owner did not do a final inspection of the work but did call a few days later to ask how it went and it anything needed to be touched up. After the paint settled, we noticed some things that needed to be touched up. The work crew came back and did the touch ups. Now the house looks nice and clean. "

Various kinds of substances and deck preservatives act as protective coatings for wood to prevent rot, which is caused by water getting into the wood and creating cracks and splits. Stains, paints, and sealants are the three best options to protect your wood, but there are also oils, varnishes, and waxes available. You’ll need to reapply sealant at least once per year, and you should inspect your wood deck regularly to look for signs of damage or general wear and tear.
If you don’t treat a cedar fence, it will turn from reddish brown to gray over time. You can keep the cedar from graying and retain its attractive, deep red color by sealing your cedar fence with a stain that keeps the wood’s oils in and serves as a barrier against the sun’s UV rays.
Yes, it is generally a very good idea to seal your deck after pressure washing. Power washing removes not only dirt and debris but also a thin layer of wood, leaving the surface exposed and more susceptible to weathering. Sealing is almost always needed after this process. After a general cleaning, sealing isn't automatically necessary if the existing sealant is still intact. You can test the surface by placing a few drops of water on it. If the water beads up, the sealant is working. If it soaks into the wood, it's time to apply a new sealant. If it has been a few years, it's wise to remove the old sealant, wash the deck, and reseal for maximum protection.
Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.
Exterior paints contain more volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, making them dangerous when used indoors. Without the free ventilation of the great outdoors, it can take longer for the fumes to dissipate than interior paint. While you may notice the smell lessening more quickly, you should be wary of paint fumes inside for 48 to 72 hours after it dries.
