"Due to foundation settling we had lots of cracks in the dry wall. We had them come in patch and paint, and touch up where necessary. 5 rooms total plus the garage. Their color matching was practically perfect. There were some hiccups and we did have to have the crew back out to get everything to 100%, or at least to an acceptable level. But they were eager to get everything to a state I was happy with and that's exactly what I wanted. I'm quite happy with the final result."

"We were selling our house and the entire interior needed a paint refresh as it had been over 5 years since it was done. We also had some small wall repairs that needed done and he did a fabulous job in completing all of the work in the time frame we needed. After that work was done we needed an “emergency” repair job in laundry room/living room and we knew we could count on him to get the job done and done correctly, knowing the next owner would not have to worry about out any issues. He was a pleasure to work with and when we need help in the future we will definitely reach out to him. Definitely would refer him."

"The process was pretty seamless and straightforward. The only issue was that the only person we could verbally communicate with was the site leader who did not stay onsite. The painters themselves did not speak English and communicating as a mime was not very efficient....Overall the job was done and done well. Would still consider them again."

"KMG Restoration were extremely reliable, fast, & knowledgeable. They power washed my townhome, sidewalk, driveway, front of the garage (and did some repair work on the garage door also), the front porch and the patio around back - and again did some repair and painting on the back door. They worked with my schedule & needs. They do so much more than power washing!!! Call them for big & small repairs, painting, and help on home projects. Kevin and his son Chris were outstanding. Thanks again guys Debbie"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.

If you have wood decking, there are several common deck problems that you might encounter. For example, your natural wood boards may fade over time due to things like sunlight, weather, and debris. On top of that, some types of wood decking can rot, grow mold, and attract destructive pests—including termites, carpenter ants, and woodpeckers.

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.

Staining a deck is typically less expensive upfront than painting. The cost to stain a deck professionally averages around $850, with most homeowners paying between $550 and $1,250, depending on the deck's size. A DIY staining project can cost less than $100. The cost to paint a deck ranges from $500 to $2,000. While the initial cost of staining is lower, it's important to consider long-term expenses. Paint can last up to 10 years, whereas stain needs to be reapplied every few years, which could lead to higher costs over time.

It’s best to use an exterior latex acrylic paint to promote maximum adhesion to composite decking. This flexible paint type can better cope with the natural expansion and contraction that can occur with composite deck boards. Oil-based paints won’t adhere as effectively and are more likely to crack and peel as the boards flex. Testing whether your chosen paint will stick on an inconspicuous section or a spare board is a good idea.
