"This was one of the best experiences we have had working with a contractor. It was a for a large install of ceramic tile. From removing the old hardwood, to leveling, to tile install and quarter round install through final cleanup, all was great. The finished flooring looks fantastic! Very diligent, thorough and professional from start to finish. As a bonus they also painted an area of our home with 16’ ceilings and it looks great, saving us time and a lot of effort. 5 stars plus!!!"

"Excellent workmanship. We had our front porch Masonite ceiling that was compromised from an old roof leak replaced with stained shiplap. Dynamic finishing did a beautiful job staining the shiplap, replacing and painting the trim to match and mounting 2 new ceiling fans on the porch. We also had our outdated kitchen backsplash replaced with herringbone subway tile. The tile was even wrapped around the corner to continue the pattern. Impressive. Excellent work and craftsmanship."

"I would highly recommend this business.  We had them come and restain the deck and at first just powerwash the house.  They scheduled the work right away.  After doing the pressure washing, there were some areas with paint chips under the soffit.  Mike offered to repaint those for free.  During this, they noticed areas of the soffit that were rotten, so we had them repair those areas of the wood.  They also fixed a few screens that were damaged during the pressure washing for free.  
Everything turned out great, and we are very happy we had this work done.  Mike and Crystal are very professional and easy to work with.  I will be having them do some more work on our house in the near future.

"Scott Bowles and his crew did a magnificent job in painting the exterior of my house. I was at first put off by his seemingly high cost estimate but after comparing other estimates from Angie's List of reputable painters, it was in line with the others. In fact, after considering all the additional work such as pressure washing the whole outside of my brick house, caulking the windows, and repairing woodwork, even those damaged by squirrels, I found it to be an exceptional value. Of primary importance to me, or to any customer, is his responsiveness to my directions. A problem occurred in that the window shutters' paint color mixed by his paint seller did not match the printed paint chip from the manufacturer. This showed too much red under sunlight that grates on the eyes, which is reality. However, Scott promised to repaint the shutters with a different color of my choice at no additional cost. Overall, Bowles Painting did a thorough, professional painting job such that I am now proud to show off my classic Southern Colonial home!"

"Communication was excellent. Painting skill was good. When I have them back to do more I will supply shoe covers. We did have some red clay tracked in on the carpet. We did manage to get the stain out. I would hire them again."

"I've never met anyone who cares so much about his customers the way Don does.  I'm disabled and have a lot of furniture.  Don's crew moved all the furniture for me and put everything back just the way it was after the job was done.  Don's work and crew were fabulous. Don's prices were also great.  He saved me at least $300 on the carpet."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, you must thoroughly clean your deck before staining. If you don't, dirt, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped between the wood and the new stain. This not only looks unsightly but also prevents the stain from penetrating the wood properly, reducing its ability to protect the deck from weather and UV rays. As a result, the stain won't last as long or look as good. Any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning for the wood to dry completely before applying stain.

DIY is possible but presents risks of uneven surfaces or improper adhesion; professionals offer expertise to ensure a lasting finish.

Wood stain is not flammable after it dries. The solvent in wood stain is what causes the liquid form to be highly flammable, but the stain drying process involves the solvents dissolving, which leaves behind a non-flammable product on your wood project. Wood stain is, however, flammable before you apply it, so you should always store partially full cans and used wood stain rags away from sources of heat and open flames.

For the longest-lasting exterior paint, consider acrylic or enamel (oil-based) paints. Acrylic paints, including acrylic latex and acrylic enamel, are known for withstanding harsh weather and sun exposure. Enamel-based paints are also one of the most durable options available. While latex paint is common, it typically has a shorter lifespan than acrylic or oil-based options. The paint's finish also affects its durability; a higher gloss finish is generally more durable. For resistance to moisture and cracking, matte and satin finishes can be effective, while a high-gloss acrylic or oil-based paint offers a combination of maximum longevity and durability.

Yes, it is important to wash your deck before painting to ensure the paint applies well and adheres properly. While you don't have to use a pressure washer, it is one of the most efficient cleaning methods. Pressure washing can quickly remove dirt, wood fibers, and flaked paint, getting deeper into the wood than manual scrubbing. You can also clean the deck with a stiff broom and a cleaning solution. Regardless of the method, a clean surface is essential for good paint adhesion. Make sure the deck is completely dry before applying any paint.
