"I had two large bathrooms that needed to have very bold print wall paper removed or covered up.  I was very nervous about this process as I had heard stories and seen bad examples of attempts to do this.  I sought out consultations and found Steven Macon to be the most thorough and to offer the most comprehensive plan for ensuring full coverage with a combination of stripping loose areas, sealing seams and texturing over bold print prior to primer and paint.  He looked at each room and inspected the condition, texture and print of the wall paper very thoroughly before making his recommendations.  He offered several levels of texturing, providing pictures to assist me in the decision process.  He patiently explained the process he would use in each room which varied based on the condition of the wall paper.  He was thorough, answered all of my questions, gave options in consideration of my budget and put my mind at ease regarding the quality of the end result.  I was uncertain of color scheme and he was very helpful in providing color suggestions that would complement the surrounding areas in the house and still provide some accent.  All of this took place in our initial consultation.  After reviewing the three bids and consultations that I had obtained there was no question he was the best option as no one provided the comprehensive knowledge base that he clearly had of both interior design and technique.  He was able to meet the very specific schedule requirements that I had within a week's time and was willing to work with me in coordinating access to the house.  I found him to be very dependable and respectful of my time.  He always contacted me if he was running even a few minutes behind schedule when meeting me at the house.  Other than utilizing a helper on the initial prep stage, he did all of the work himself.  When the helper was there, Mr. Macon worked right along aside him at all times.  As previously stated, I was not sure of my color selection for one of the bathrooms so he used a color primer to help me get a feel for the look and when I asked to change the final coat color he didn't hesitate and made the change which ended up being perfect.  Several months later I have had ample opportunity to inspect the quality of the work and can say that you would not know there was ever wall paper in either bathroom and the texture and paint coverage/color looks fantastic. I found Steven Macon to be very knowledgeable about all aspects of the interior design process.  He has a degree in interior design and art and brings an understanding of the overall context that I had not experienced with previous painters or in any other consultations.  He is pleasant, professional and very competitive in his pricing.  I would not hesitate to use him again and would recommend him to anyone.  He has the perfect blend of interior design knowledge, technique,  and professionalism."

"taking care of all of the aspects.  The gutter was done by a subcontractor and caused a couple of issues with the roof.  I called Tony and they sent a couple of workers out and took care of the issues.  I would use them again without considering anyone else.

"Don does great work! He was friendly, professional, and hard-working - he went above and beyond to ensure that our project was completed with high quality results despite a tight deadline. His prices were very reasonable as well. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs help with interior or exterior painting, or any other home prep services!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

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. 

Choosing the right product involves understanding deck material, desired finish, and local weather conditions. Opt for high-quality, weatherproof formulations ensuring long-term durability and appearance retention.

Most gutter painting pros also specialize in complete home exterior painting. You may save by making your gutter painting part of the cost to paint the exterior of a house in its entirety. Many people have all parts of their home exterior painted simultaneously to keep everything looking equally fresh. Consider having walls, trim, porches, shutters, and doors painted as well.

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.
