"Great work power washing, staining, and leveling our large deck. Melvin came out to give us a decent estimate. Workers worked for 2 days straight on the project and were pleasant and professional. 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!"

"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."

"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."

"Ray, Mike and Tony were very professional and great throughout the whole process of painting the exterior trim to our house. They power washed the exterior of the whole house prior to painting and brought new life to our old cape cod style wood shingles. My wife and I highly recommend them. Tom N."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage. 

Oxygen bleach uses hydrogen peroxide as a base and won’t harm wood when using it as a cleaner. On the other hand, chlorine bleach breaks down wood at the cellular level and causes irreversible harm. Although you may not see immediate damage to wood after exposing it to chlorine bleach, its strength and integrity are now compromised.

There are deck restoration products and oil-based wood stains that can help bring back some of the color and shine to your faded Trex decking. However, if your boards are suffering from serious fading due to UV rays or chemical cleaning products, don’t expect miracles. Also, these products are only suitable for use on the older Trex boards, not the capped, second-generation Trex products. 

You may be wondering: can you paint cement? Fortunately, the answer is yes.

To change the color of your cinder blocks, you have two options. You can either paint them or stain them. Either way, you'll be able to choose from a wide range of color options. Some popular colors for cinder block painting include off-white shades and gray tones, which add a modern spin to the traditional gray blocks.
