Q: Can you waterproof all wood?

• <div><p>Yes, you can waterproof any wood that has not already been treated. A good way to test this is to splash some water on it. If the water starts to bead up, the wood is treated and most likely doesn&rsquo;t need another coating.</p></div>

Q: What is the best time of day to paint outside?

• <div><p>While the answer varies based on weather, 10 a.m. is a good time to start painting. The dew will have dried, meaning there&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: What is the best way to protect a deck?

• <div><p>The best way to protect a deck is to prevent damage from UV light, water, mold, mildew, insects, and abrasive cleaning methods. Sweep regularly to prevent debris that hides bugs and traps moisture that can result in mold or mildew growth. Use a deck cleaner once a year to remove algae, mold, and mildew. Avoid using pressure washers on high, as they can damage the wood. Applying a deck sealant can protect the wood from UV and water damage, and adding shade can also reduce sunlight damage. </p></div>

Q: Do services include repainting after repairs?

• <div><p>Yes, most professionals offer painting services to match the repaired area with existing walls.</p></div>

I hired Bruce over 2 years ago to paint our stained kitchen cabinets and trim. He recommended oil based paint which was extremely difficult to prep and work around. They taped the room off and brought in a large blower for the fumes. The prep work was impressive, but things quickly went downhill...

They did so,so. They do carpet cleaning. I don't think they did as good as they have done in the past. I don't know if they were just in a hurry. They did okay, but usually they go above and beyond, but they did not seem to. We have a big house, but we don't have that much carpet in it. Only...

There was some problems with the finished decks and when we pointe them out they were fixed promptly and with no attitudes about having to fix the problems. All employees were very courteous. Will definitely use them again.
