"Proposal was developed after a review of the job in the field. Committed to do the work in a short period of time. This involved scaffolding to the second floor.  Exterior of gutters were cleaned, shutters removed/repainted/remounted, porch re-grouted in the worst places and reattached missing bricks. Cleaned sidewalk. Repaired area in eave that the porr squirrels had chewed up when they got hungry. Surface prepped all areas to be painted, including metal vent housings. Replaced roof rubber seals around all sewer vents poking thru the roof of the 1st and 2nd floors. Did throrough cheanup after job completion. Re-worked leaking gutter on back of house over the deck.
This job was manned up adequately so work got completed within 3 weeks. In other words, the workers showed up and the the work done without dragging out the job or asking for change orders. Communications was great between us and the contractor thourhout the job process.
Really liked working with Robert Toling. No hidden ball tricks here. Just a good professional that does everything he writes down. He really does a great job communicating between everyone to be sure the job goes well.

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.

A wood deck requires annual cleaning and regular inspections for loose or broken boards, nails, and screws. It should be refinished by applying a stain or sealer every two to three years to protect the wood from water damage, rot, mildew, and sun fading. The exact frequency can depend on the climate and the deck's exposure to sun and moisture. If your deck is painted, it will need repainting approximately every 10 years. Signs that your deck needs refinishing include faded, splintering, or warping boards.

You’ll want to avoid excessively hot or humid conditions, so it’s best to apply your stain in late spring to early fall. It's also important to watch the weather forecast and aim for days when there isn’t rain expected for at least three days. For new decks, allow the wood to season beforehand for at least four to eight weeks.

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

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.
