I am generally a 2 man operation serving Richland and Kershaw Counties. We both live in Camden and have been in business since 2011, but have 20-22 years of experience in most of the services I offer. I love what I do, and do my best to return phone calls and text messages asap, which is the best way to reach me. I charge both by the hour and by the job, depending on what the job/s are. I do have 2 other very capable gentlemen. Who help get involved depending on the job, location and availability. If what you are asking is beyond our expertise I promise to tell you!!

"Dave's A-Z removed the carpet and replaced the flooring with hardwood and also painted the master bedroom and bathroom. We were extremely pleased with the quality of the workmanship and the communication during this project. We highly recommend Dave's A-Z."

Hello. My name is Doug Woodbrown, and I am pleased to be partnering with HomeAdvisor to offer my full-service handyman services to the greater Columbia and Greenville areas. No job too small, and we look forward to doing a great and thorough job for you. Please call for a free estimate.

"Doug had me send him pictures of my gate so that he could estimate the cost. However, we were both surprised at home much worse the damage was when he got here. Once he got started, he worked in some really awful heat to fix all of the issues that he encountered. When he was done, I accepted the fact that he was going to charge more given the additional issues he found. What I didn't expect was that I would have to argue with him that he wasn't charging enough! We finally agreed on a price that I still think was too low!! At any rate, I am very pleased with Doug's work and won't hesitate to make use of his skills in the future."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

DIY staining or painting is manageable with proper preparation, including safety measures, necessary tools, and adherence to safe weather conditions for application.

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.

Choosing the best color for your home exterior should factor in longevity as well as your personal taste. To keep your house looking newly painted as long as possible, stay away from red paint. Although red homes pop and are quintessential for country-style barns, red paint tends to fade fastest in the sun. Go with earth tones if you want paint that best resists fading.

Sealing a deck is better than staining in terms of protection. Stain on its own does nothing but change the color of wood, while sealing protects wood from moisture, insects, and UV damage. If you want to stain your wood, consider a stain-and-sealant-in-one to change your deck's appearance while protecting it from the elements. Reapply stain and sealant once every year or two.

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for.
