"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."

"All work was done in a timely, professional manner.  Shingles and majority of the work was done within two days with a few items finished a few weeks later-a skylight that had to be ordered, etc.
Everyone did a top notch job.  The roofers even went over the grounds two times picking up nails after the job was done, and did a very good job at that.  They were very pleasant folks.  We were glad to have them do the work.
After the ridge vents were installed, I noticed s savings in my electric bill, too.  We wee able to raise our thermostat by 3 degrees and still stayed cool in the last few hot days of summer.  Ridge vents are definitely the way to go.
Thank you, Tony and crew.  Keep up the good work.  I highly recommend Tony's Roofing Service.
The office staff even helped me get my warranty registered with the Certainteed company after the work had been completed.

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Liquid rubber is great for waterproofing, but it can damage your deck if it’s not applied correctly. First, it can trap moisture in the wood if the deck isn’t completely dry before application.  Second, applying it too thickly can create a heavy, rubbery surface layer that peels and cracks under fluctuating temperatures. For the best results, ensure the wood is completely dry before application, and apply the liquid rubber in thin, even coats. A quick inspection every now and then will help you catch any issues early, keeping your deck protected and looking its best.

Limewash and whitewash are two techniques used to give brick a light, matte finish, but they differ in composition, application, and permanence. The best choice depends on your aesthetic goals and the specific surface.

Composition

  • Limewash: A natural and environmentally friendly option made from limestone, water, and sometimes pigments. It is breathable and soaks into porous surfaces like brick.

  • Whitewash: Traditionally made from lime, water, chalk, and binders, but a similar look can be achieved with watered-down white paint. It is paint-based and sits on top of the surface.

Appearance and Finish

  • Limewash: Provides a natural, textured appearance that allows the brick's character to show through. It offers a more traditional finish.

  • Whitewash: Creates a softer, more opaque finish, often used for a rustic or shabby-chic style.

Application and Permanence

  • Limewash: Is semi-permanent and can be removed, making it a good choice if you might want to change the look in the future. It requires more skill to apply and cannot be used on previously painted brick.

  • Whitewash: Is a more permanent solution. It is more forgiving to apply and can be used on painted brick. However, because it sits on the surface, it can trap moisture.

Ultimately, if you want a breathable, natural, and reversible finish for unpainted brick, limewash is a great option. If you need a more permanent, opaque coating that can be applied over painted surfaces, whitewash is the better choice. Whitewashing may also be more economical, costing approximately $1.40 to $4.20 per square foot.

Costs depend on coating type, labor, site preparation, and required finishes.

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

Many decking oils can help slow down algae growth, but they don't completely stop it. These oils work by sealing the wood, which reduces moisture and, therefore, algae growth. Some decking oils also help protect against UV damage, but they need to be reapplied according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the decking stays protected.
