"Bob Griffin is a true professional. A list of projects he completed on my home follows . Note that I was "5-Star" impressed with his work in every area. - Soft wash of roof, exterior siding, and patio - Apply two coats of Cabot's bleaching stain to home exterior - finish all fixtures (hinges, handles, and all fixtures) - Caulk and / or putty all areas exposed ( cracks, splits, etc..) - He was hired to "soft" power wash my home and then apply two coats of Cabot's bleaching oil to the 7 year old cedar shingles. Bob showed up. on time, worked a full day, and kept me informed of all progress. The "soft" power wash left the roof and exterior of the home in beautiful condition. He also added a soft wash of the back patio; again, it came out beautiful and was a task he threw in no-charge. He applied caulk and wood putty as required to protect any cracks or gaps in the surface. He then went on to refinish all the black hinges, handles and fixtures. These details really made a difference. I was so impressed with all of the above that I asked Bob to return to paint the cellar. Once again, Bob sought the right paint and primer for the job and covered the walls and floor of this old cellar in record time. We can not get over the improvement to the home while under Bob's control. Finally, I was always so impressed with Bob's initiative. He helped declutter the cellar before starting the paint without so much as a word. His pricing is more than fair in every way. He is a very nice man and I am happy to have met him. He strives to exceed every customer's needs. He is something special and earns 5 stars in every area."

Customers say: True professional

"Nestaly and Edwin did a great job replacing an exterior wooden staircase and metal railing system with a Trex solution that is both beautiful and solid as a rock. They were here at 8 AM both days and cleaned the debris up afterward. Wonderful people and company to have working with me on this project. Fair pricing for this project and I was so pleased with the result that I already booked them to replace a couple of windows and exterior door. I will certainly use them in the future and can"t recommend them enough."
Before demo, client had a wall separating the kitchen & dinning room they wanted to tear it down and add an island.

Customer service kept up to date on the project and was also very pleasant and professional. I now have a beautiful deck. Would hire again without a doubt!"

"Work was performed exactly as discussed and agreed to (match existing paint colors) at estimated cost. Start was delayed at our request due to high heat and humidity, with no complaints. Work was further delayed through no fault of Arch Painting due to continuous wet weather. Once a good weather window finally occurred, the work was performed quickly with no impact on us. We were totally satisfied with the quality of the work and the finished product."

"Ryan got to the house right on time the first day and within 15 or 20 minutes after looking at the job (which was exterior painting which included the vinyl sided house, shutters, trim, bulk head door and a railing), he had a detailed, printed estimate presented to me. He was the only one of the 5 companies who did that. I was already impressed. The estimate was also the best of the 5 that I received. Shannon kept me informed during the process and even gave me help in picking out colors. Lewis was great. If I had any concerns, he always responded with "No Worries". And he followed through on his promises. I always had confidence in him. His crew were also all very nice. When the job was finished, Lewis and I did a walk through and I just pointed out a few minor details. I was already very happy with the job. After that, we did another walk through because he wanted to make sure everything was as I wanted. Shannon came by an hour or so later and we did another. I told her I was very happy. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone based on our experience. In fact, I told Shannon that I was going to paint my deck in the Spring, but if I changed my mind and didn't feel like doing it myself, I'd be giving them a call. All very nice people."

"The painters were not only very personable and professional but also very efficient and did an excellent job stripping and painting the outside of my home. All the work was completed in a timely fashion. I originally had old white vinyl siding and when finished, my house looked brand new. I couldn’t be happier with the updated appearance."

"Herb provided an estimate with a range in price (labor and materials) based on A) the job going smoothly, without any problems and B) if he ran into problems which he later said he meant as minor problems. On the very first door, Herb ran into trouble as he found that after 25 years the doors on the northwesterly side of the house which sees the most severe weather, had rotted below the door frame and needed to be removed and replaced. He found the same problem with the second door (same side of house) and really did a great job of clearing out the rotted wood and replaced it with rot proof synthetic material that we while more expensive, will be well worth it in the long run. the last two doors went in just fine with the one caveat being that as I guess is to be expected, doors vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and while we bought the sizes correctly, the opening for the new doors was actually smaller than it was for the old doors, so Herb had to re-frame all the openings which he did just fine. Overall, Herb's work was very good. I think his quality of workmanship and attention to detail is excellent. He takes pride in his work and when I complemented him on how great the new doors looked, he was beaming with pride. To me a good sign that the satisfaction of his customer is very important to him. While the cost was higher than we had anticipated, in fairness, they ran into problems that no one could have forseen. I'm sure I could have gotten the job done for much less, but I'm not sure that someone else would have been able to handle the "curve-balls" that were thrown Herb's way. And, I'm not sure I would have gotten the solid repair to the rotted door frames that I know Herb provided. I have no doubt that Herb's work will stand the test of time. And the quality of his work is excellent."

"We were very pleased with Lucas Medeiros for the painting of our house and deck. All of the workers were on time each day, and were efficient in getting the job done in a timely manner. They left the area clean and did not leave until they checked everything. We would definitely recommend this company and would certainly look to them for future work."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

It's okay to walk on a newly painted deck after about four to six hours as long as the weather has been dry. Be sure to wait at least 24 hours before you place any outdoor furniture or grills on a freshly painted deck, though.

Rags used with oil-based stains are highly flammable and can spontaneously combust in the right conditions. To reduce the fire risk, throw them in a metal container after use and add rocks on top to secure them. Add an inch of water and seal the container. Take the rags in the container to a hazardous waste factory as soon as possible.

Staining a deck is typically less expensive upfront than painting. The cost to stain a deck professionally averages around $850, with most homeowners paying between $550 and $1,250, depending on the deck's size. A DIY staining project can cost less than $100. The cost to paint a deck ranges from $500 to $2,000. While the initial cost of staining is lower, it's important to consider long-term expenses. Paint can last up to 10 years, whereas stain needs to be reapplied every few years, which could lead to higher costs over time.

Aftercare includes routine cleaning, checking for water repellency, and promptly addressing any chips or peels, maintaining the deck's appearance and functionality.

Adding a second coat of stain to wood can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.
