"The work was amazing, they are very good at what they do. We have a three bedroom house and it took a lot of time due to their initial 3-4 hours per day to paint, but ultimately, we have a beautifully painted house and would very much recommend them to do yours."

"We used Rebecca and Magnifical Painting's services at the recommendation of family members who had a great experience with them in the past.  Rebecca came to our home to provide a quote and additionally helped us pick out paint colors.  She was very professional and thoughtful during this visit.
I was not home for much of the painting - our nanny was home with our son for parts of the days and she found the team to be extremely professional and kind.  They managed to work two to three days consecutively without disturbing my son's naps while painting nearly the entire interior of our home.  They moved furniture, patched holes, painted and cleaned up after themselves beautifully.  They even returned to our home after the job was complete to take care of some small issues we found on final walk through with them.
To boot our estimate was significantly lower than the other two estimates we received.
We will definitely be using Magnifical again next time we need painting done and will recommend them to friends.  I do not have a single complaint and LOVE the way our home looks.  Over the holidays our visitors were amazed by the beautiful colorful walls of our home!
Thank you Rebecca and Magnifical!

"The SparKlean team was outstanding. They arrived on time, worked ho*** ** my flooring project for two days straight, and even purchased products on my behalf that we’re needed. They were very kind, easy to work with, and I would recommend them to anyone. Their work was outstanding. They focused on the small details as well as the more extensive nuisances. Also, their pricing was outstanding! I hadn’t found anyone that even competed with their price. Do yourself a favor and give them a call; you won’t be disappointed. I couldn’t have gotten a better deal or result anywhere else!"

This is who you should call with your roofing needs."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. 

The best paint for an older deck depends on the material and whether or not your deck already has a coat of paint. Generally, if your deck already has paint on it, you should choose the same type of paint when repainting the deck. For example, if an old deck has oil-based paint on it, stick with oil; if your deck has water-based paint, choose water-based paint. 

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.

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.
