"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

A five-gallon bucket of deck stain will cover roughly 875 square feet in a single coat. Actual coverage will vary based on the type of wood you’re staining and the number of coats. If you plan on doing multiple coats, multiply the square footage by the number of coats to calculate how many buckets of stain you’ll need.

Deciding whether to stain or paint a pool deck depends on your budget, desired look, and the deck's material. Both options can work. Paint offers a wider variety of color options, provides excellent water resistance, and can last longer. However, it requires a primer and can eventually fade or peel. Stain is often cheaper, easier to apply, and penetrates the wood for a more natural look and longer-lasting finish. It also has great water resistance. The downsides are fewer color options and the need for a sealant. The choice can also depend on the deck material; for example, staining may be a better option for concrete as it bonds well and lasts longer than paint.

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.

Ipe wood can last up to 75 years with minimal maintenance because its own oils help to preserve it. However, to get the most out of your Ipe wood deck, you should perform some routine maintenance, including regular cleaning, sweeping of leaves and debris, and rinsing spills with a hose. It’s also important to repair any deep scratches as soon as you spot them and reseal the deck annually to protect against scratches and scuffs.

Painted decks typically require a new coat about once every ten years. In between new coats, it's best to maintain your deck by regularly removing debris, washing it down with non-abrasive cleaners, and staying ahead of structural issues, such as loose boards and rotting wood. In some cases, painting a small section of your deck affected by damage or the sun can lower your costs and workload.
