"Adrian and his crew did a fantastic job with our cabinets. He was very professional and really took time to make sure everything was properly sealed from overspray and really clean. We also had him come back to do our wooden island and the picture talks for its self. I really recommend his services."

"Very good work on the house. Missed a few area's on the stained/sealed fence. But touched them up as soon as I brought them to their attention.
Always on time and completed the work on time. Very Professional in their dealings with us.
Easily reached by email or phone. Returned email within a few hours or the same day.
We would use them again and would highly recommend to others.
They were not the cheapest, but we feel we got a good quality job for the money.

We removed all old wood siding, then we sheathed with plywood and put on new wood siding, primed and painted two sides of the house then we scraped, sanded ,primed , caulked and painted the rest of the house. We also put new tongue & groove pine boards on ceiling under the porch then stained it.

"Amazing on both jobs!! Painting was done so efficiently and in such a timely manner. We just purchased home so Jose knew we wanted to start moving as soon as possible. He completed the job in half the time quoted. Pricing was affordable and work was top quality. Him and his crew was on time every day and put in a day’s work, not like others we have seen that arrive late, leave early and only get a few hours in daily. We then hired him to power wash the outside of the house. Our home is 3000 square feet per the appraisal. Master bedroom is 2nd floor, so is full attic over game room. They removed all green algee on siding, cleaned bricks, windows were washed and squeegeed. All gutters were cleaned. White entry door looks brand new. The house looks amazing inside and out. My husband has hired him to replace a second story balcony deck to our master bedroom. He will be starting that project soon. We would highly recommend Jose and his company to anyone looking for quality work, at an affordable price. He was amazing to work with. So professional."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

Waterproof paint creates a barrier to hold back moisture, but it doesn’t eliminate the source of the water. If you hire a basement waterproofing contractor, many will tell you that waterproof paint is only a temporary solution. On average, you can expect it to last from six months to two years in a wet basement before deteriorating.

While the answer varies based on weather, 10 a.m. is a good time to start painting. The dew will have dried, meaning there’s no moisture on the house, and the temperature will likely be moderate and the sunlight less direct. Starting mid-morning should also give you enough daylight and pleasant weather to work on the job for several hours.
