"My husband and I had a more complex project, which included painting the inside of a 5200 square feet house, staining beams and staircase, and adding additional work as the project went on. CertaPro was very professional, reliable, and took pride in their work. They were helpful in guiding us on our project in terms of what colors, stains, and additional ways to add extra character to our home. They even helped correct uneven walls, cracks, and baseboards. We are obsessed with how our home looks and will definitely use Craig and his team again! Definitely recommended!"

"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."

"I originally had used Zach and his crew services in the past for gutter cleaning. They were always easy to work with and on time. When inspecting my roof Zach mentioned that my front porch roof was dipping in from deteriorated decking. Since the roof was already close to end of life he repaired the decking, replaced the roof and flashing, and added new gutters. His crew was extremely professional and completed the job quickly."

"Gary came to the house to inspect the porch and cellar well. He took the time to answer questions and explain his plan to make the necessary repairs. He provided an estimate the same day. Joe (supervisor) and his work crew were easy to work with. Joe kept me updated and answered questions as the work progressed. When they close to finishing the work, Joe walked me through all the repairs made and sealed some additional areas at my request. In general, the project was pleasant from estimate to finished product."

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

Opt for an interior wood stain that is rated for your type of wood. Consider your personal style preferences as well as the overall use of the room when choosing a color. Remember, the color you see at the store may look different on your actual floors once applied. This is why if you have the chance, it’s helpful to test a few options on a scrap piece of wood in the room first. Once you narrow it down, you can test a small patch on an inconspicuous area in the room to see it on the actual floors.

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.

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.

You can refresh a painted deck by either giving it a thorough cleaning or refinishing the deck altogether. Chipped or faded paint, as well as extensive damage, often calls for a new finish. To do this, remove the original coat of paint with a sander and add either a new coat of paint or a stain to protect the wood below.

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.
