They skillfully repaired sheetrock, painted the interior of our entire home, and provided tree service in under 2 weeks. In addition, they were thoughtful, kind, and overall great people. We highly recommend this family business and will definitely work with them again on future projects."

"The 3 man crew did excellent work for us. Marcos actually came out on the Fourth of July as we asked to give us our estimate! They did a fast and neat job painting two colors on the outside and trim on our older one and a half story home which required a good power washing first. We took up Marcos' recommendation on the window and corner trim paint application and it made our house look so much nicer. For a moderate charge they also power washed our hardscape and replaced a rickety deck step with a strong, well built, and much safer one. During the course of their work in the searing July heat , a Thursday and Friday, we asked about an additional sheetrock repair in our kitchen area. We are still amazed looking at it how the well the The Wizards of all sheetrock repairers installed the patch and matched the wall paint and texture exactly to what was there. Admirably skills which made us very happy. Our place was all spruced up in time for a quickly planned outdoor micro wedding ceremony for a family member. Thank your Marcos and team. We are glad it was you who responded to our online request. We will look M&G Painting up for our next project."

They paid high attention to detail and cleaned up every day before they left. The quality of work performed was excellent at a fair price. I will use them again."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Pressure-treated wood lasts at least 10 years, but with the right care and treatment, it can last as long as 40 years. Painting the boards is one way to increase the lifespan of pressure-treated wood. The layer of paint provides extra protection for the wood against the exterior elements and insects.

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.

Limewash and whitewash do not harm surfaces if you apply them correctly. Use on non-suitable surfaces can cause issues. For instance, applying limewash or whitewash to surfaces with existing sealants or incompatible materials may lead to poor adhesion or flaking. Also, harsh cleaning agents on limewashed or whitewashed surfaces can damage the finish. Proper preparation, application, and maintenance ensure that limewash and whitewash do not harm surfaces.

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
