"Painted our 2 story home and did an excellent job. Went out of there way to stop at our shed builders to get a paint sample from our sheds to match our home. It matched perfectly. They were professional and arrived each day on time. Very happy with their service and will definitely use them again."

I had used this company before and even though the price was high I was pleased with the work and follow thru they did when the painter who was originally doing the job had a very bad accident and couldn't finish the job.  A new person was sent out to finish the job and I was pleased. That is why I hired them again.

The work on the deck was done but much slower than it should have been.  The stain ordered was the wrong color and it had to be ordered again and put over the area where the first stain was put.  There was only one man on the job and he had to carry off all the furniture and when the job was done, had to put it back on all by himself.  He was the man who had the bad accident years ago and I felt bad for him.  But I couldn't help as I had knee surgery.  Unfortunately, some of the furniture had to be dragged back on because of it being so heavy and that left dark marks on the deck.  The owner came out several times to look at it and decided that it was mud and that I had to wash it off.  So it was left that way and after buying TSP, I slowly did scrub off the dark marks, bad knee and all.  I wasn't pleased with that as two people should have been on the job.

I would use them again only if the job that needed to be done had the right number of people assigned to do it.

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

The best type of paint for concrete exterior surfaces like concrete porches, steps, or walkways is high-quality exterior-grade paint with strong weather resistance. Acrylic latex blends with tiny anti-slip particles will help create an anti-slip coating for your concrete porch. This type of paint will stand up best to the elements, especially rain, snow, and ice. An exterior epoxy will also help strengthen your concrete porch.

Eggshell and satin finishes are best for porches because they sit in the sweet spot between scuffable matte and distracting high gloss. Your porch sees a fair amount of wear and tear, so you don’t want paint that’ll show every mark like matte, but you don’t want to be blinded by glossy paint in the sun either. Eggshell and satin have durability and a look that sits nicely in the middle.

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.

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.

It's okay to walk on a newly painted deck after about four to six hours as long as the weather has been dry. Be sure to wait at least 24 hours before you place any outdoor furniture or grills on a freshly painted deck, though.
