"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

Deciding whether to stain or paint a pool deck depends on your budget, desired look, and the deck's material. Both options can work. Paint offers a wider variety of color options, provides excellent water resistance, and can last longer. However, it requires a primer and can eventually fade or peel. Stain is often cheaper, easier to apply, and penetrates the wood for a more natural look and longer-lasting finish. It also has great water resistance. The downsides are fewer color options and the need for a sealant. The choice can also depend on the deck material; for example, staining may be a better option for concrete as it bonds well and lasts longer than paint.

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

Aftercare includes routine cleaning, checking for water repellency, and promptly addressing any chips or peels, maintaining the deck's appearance and functionality.

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.

Wood stain is not flammable after it dries. The solvent in wood stain is what causes the liquid form to be highly flammable, but the stain drying process involves the solvents dissolving, which leaves behind a non-flammable product on your wood project. Wood stain is, however, flammable before you apply it, so you should always store partially full cans and used wood stain rags away from sources of heat and open flames.
