"From the initial estimate to completion of the painting job, Ronnie was responsive and dependable. His estimate for the work was very reasonable. He called the day before he planned to start to let me know his team would arrive at 7:30 a.m., which they did; and they immediately got to work. Ronnie had to travel to several paint stores to get a particular stain that we needed for the job, and he handled that well -- not annoyed or flustered by the inconvenience. He also replaced some damaged shingles and moved a set of exterior shutters to an upper window. The team was neat and organized and worked together like a well-oiled machine. He asked me to inspect the work when he finished and told me to call him if I found any problems and he would return to fix them. I haven't found any problems at all. I would definitely hire Ronnie again - for either interior or exterior work. I highly recommend him."

"Dan and his crew did a fantastic job painting the interior of our newly purchased home. Two things are noteworthy. A large wall of wood-stained built ins was painted white. Several painters didn't want to touch this part of the job, but Dan and crew did a great job! We are thrilled with the effect. Secondly, all the work was done while we were away. Dan updated us regularly with pictures and our home was in great shape when we arrived to see the transition from Oriental to Coastal. We recommend him wholeheartedly. You can trust both the quality of the work and the integrity of the workers. When we have another paint job, we'll feel great about working with Dan again."

"They did a terrific job. Arrived promptly, covered everything before beginning to remove the wallpaper. Sanded and smooth the walls before painting so no bumps would show. When they were finished cleaned up the area. Would recommend them to friends."

"Jim was very professional from the time we met him to check our roof from the hail damage, he was not pushy and was very professional, Jim, helped out with everything we needed to get the roof completed after hail damage. Our neighbors were so impressed several of them hired his company as well, his workers were very polite. I would definitely hire him again. They got their work done fast and they cleaned everything up when they were finished. I thought his prices were very fair compared to other companies that we had gotten estimates from. Allrestore has the Certainteed roofing and also has a five-year warranty on the work, That gave us a peace of mind."

"We recently updated our primary bathroom and interviewed several companies to paint our cabinets. We chose Above and Beyond, and we’re so glad we did! Joel repainted our cabinets and did an outstanding job. His promptness during the estimate process was greatly appreciated, and his attention to detail, cleanliness, and professionalism truly stood out. We’re extremely pleased with the results and highly recommend Above and Beyond for any cabinet painting project."

"Mike was very professional from the first phone call. He came that evening when he said he would to give us a estimate.
We originally called for a estimate on staining our fence front and back and after talking with Mike we also asked him to pressure wash the house. He came when he said he would and did everything we asked, he even went the extra mile and stained our yard swing the same color as the fence.
We were so happy with the job he did on the fence we then asked him to stain our deck, we had tried to stain it on our own last year and had really made a mess. He had to work really hard to get the stain off but he did a great job and our deck looks so good.
It was a pleasure to work with Mike and we are very pleased with the work he did and will definitely use him again. He is prompt and does a high quality job. Our fence and deck look great and we have received compliments from friends and neighbors, we highly recommend him.

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

You’ll need to restrain your deck when you notice fading, cracking, peeling, or mold and mildew over a moderate to large area, or when it’s become especially difficult to clean. As for how often to stain a deck, plan to do it every two to three years or whenever you start to notice extended damage.

When applying multiple coats, wait four to six hours for each coat to dry. Not waiting long enough can result in streaks, peeling, and uneven color. Plus, it will be more difficult to discern where the second coat has already been applied.

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

The need for a topcoat on a painted deck depends on various factors, primarily the type of paint used and your desired level of protection. Many premium deck paint formulations are self-sealing, eliminating the necessity for an additional topcoat. These paints often have built-in additives that substantially protect against moisture, UV rays, and everyday wear and tear.

A properly applied coat of stain will last between 3 and 8 years, depending on your climate. If you live in a place where your fence experiences a lot of moisture or high heat, your stain will last for a shorter period than in more temperate conditions. We recommend reapplying stain every 3 to 5 years to keep your wood in good condition.
