"Pratt construction did an excellent job. From putting up 2 buildings to putting down our flooring thru out the house, along with fixing some electrical issues we had. I would highly recommend them. They will be the first I call when I need something done."

"Luke was amazing. He gave us a quick quote that was reasonable. He started and worked when he said he would. He kept us updated and sent pictures afterward. The quality of his work was excellent. I was so pleased with his work. He went above and beyond by doing a couple extra things for us as we were out of state. I would and will recommend him to anyone looking for a professional quality painter!"

"Triple P (Michael and Tonya) exceeded our expectoration! Their work is amazing. We were impressed with their professionalism and how they treated our home while working in it. They were neat and clean throughout the four days they worked while we were home, mind you. We had many questions about their process and about other items we are considering and instead of up selling us, they explained how to do it and for me, this is a true mark of integrity. Five stars!!!!"

"Jose was very prompt to respond to the referral. He was able to give me his estimate within 30 minutes of our initial visit. Others took longer and one overnight. I had several estimates. However, Jose’s proposal included a minor carpentry work replacement of a handrail, which others avoided. He also included some additional caulking for which one estimator listed as extra. The job was to paint my front porch railings, pickets and steps. In addition, the crew painted 8 window shutters and two doors. The work was done conscientiously. I had a new ceiling that was not part of the job and the painters did not mar it. They scraped the steps back to wood before applying new paint. The two doors have windows and were properly trimmed. I expect to do some interior work in the Spring and will keep this business info for then. I may not even seek other estimates because I am so pleased by the work. The crew was on time and prepared. I give them my highest rating."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Two coats of stain are ideal for the best protection and aesthetic appeal. However, if your decking is made of particularly dense hardwood, you may only need one coat. If you want an intense color, two coats are ideal.

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths

The best temperature to paint a pool deck is between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit, because many paints and sealers require temperatures warm enough for the chemical reaction to take place for proper curing. The paint should not be allowed to freeze, and temperatures above 90 degrees can cause the paint to dry too quickly, also preventing the chemical reaction from following through to completion.

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.

Whether you can paint over your existing paint depends on what’s on there. Most of the time, you’ll want to sand down or scrape off the paint that’s currently coating your surface. Epoxy paint, for example, won’t let new paint stick to the surface. Latex paint is more forgiving and will accept a new coat, but a primer is recommended if you’re switching colors.
