I’ve been working on my own home for 4 years on and off remodeling both bathrooms and the kitchen from the floor joists to the ceiling! I have also done other similar projects in the past 10 years. I live in Levelland currently but I work in most of the surrounding cities including Lubbock, Littlefield, and Wolfforth. My expertise is sheetrock and painting, and I can also do just about any other handyman job. Communication is very important to me and I put high attention on detail. The more we can communicate about your project the better! I look forward to working with you

"Mr. Pena has been far more responsive that I've experienced with other contractors in Lubbock. His person installed the deck boards and there were a few that were less than ideal. I pointed them out and he agreed and fixed them within 24 hours. He is very responsive, always has ideas to improve the project and as a result it feels more like a partnership that a contractor relationship.As a result of his quality we've moved from a small job to over $15K of work."

"Pendant lights were installed perfectly. Electrician did an excellent job. Crown molding and fireplace mantel (custom built) look great. I had to do some minor touch ups using stain to cover wood filler and some corners, but overall, great job. Picture windows installed were completed in a  professional manner, no issues, looks great. I would definitely use Gill Construction again. Also, a special thanks to Micky Hutson, sales representative for Gill Construction. Micky was always available and responded well to any questions or concerns that I had during and after the construction process.

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

You don't need to seal your deck after painting it because most exterior paints are waterproof and weather-resistant. While stealing is not necessary, it can add an additional layer of protection.

The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage. 

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.

When choosing between deck stain or paint, knowing what will last longer is important. Deck paint lasts longer than deck stain. With deck paint, you can get up to 10 years of coverage before you need to reapply. With deck stain, that time is significantly shorter at two to three years. 

You can use latex or acrylic paint outdoors. Although acrylic paint tends to last longer outside, it also costs more, so if you’re painting the outside of your house, for instance, latex paint is often a go-to option. However, acrylic will be your best choice if you want to spend some extra money for added durability.
