"We first hired Sergio Hernandez. He was to do a large entry way custom cabinet plus bookcases in our study to match the one we already had. We paid him $2,900 to get started with another $2900 due upon satisfactory completion of the work. Sergio took a piece of the decorative trim from the top of the existing bookcase to make sure the trim he used on the new bookcases would be a good match. He planned to use the most expensive wood and assured us the workmanship would be of the highest quality. That was on February 8. Sergio promised all work would be done by the end of the month. A little work was done the following week; then nothing. Repeatedly he said he and his workers would be here on a given day at a certain time, but would not show. He would even text to say he was on his way, but of course he was not. We finally said either get this done, or give us our money back. If he was not able or willing to do the work or refund the money then we would go to the police. Finally Sergio does show up and a little later two other people join him. We had seen one of them before doing some of the work. A few minutes after they arrived Sergio left. These two were Augusto turbo de la Cruz and Angel Ramos. They said Sergio had contracted with them to do the work. They said the reason the work had not been done was they did not have enough money to pay for materials. Sergio had previously given them $1,000 and when they showed up today he gave them $200 more, saying that total - $1,200 - was the entire amount we had given him. They went on to say Sergio told them if they needed more money, it would have to come from us. We showed them a copy of the $2900 check we had given Sergio. They were surprised. They seemed honest and it seemed that they knew what they were doing so we decided to fire Sergio and hire them. We repeatedly, by text and voice mail, let Sergio know we wanted him to refund $1,000 of the amount we had paid him or we would go to the police. We have since filed a police report. We hired Augusto and Angel to complete the work-$1,800 now and another $1800 on satisfactory completion of the work. They asked that we make the check payable to Monica Gonzalez Rangel. That was on March 23. They indicated the work would be completed in less than a week. To make the story a little shorter we will just say we have not seen them since - looks like we will be having another visit with the police, We met Mario and Raul at Gonzalez Tile in Brownsville, What a breath of fresh air. We told them our story. They came to take a look. They showed us where the few materials that had been used were not great quality and would need replacing. No payment until we were satisfied with a completed job. They showed up when they said they would. The cabinet has been completed. It is the first thing you see when you open the front door. It looks great. In fact Mario and Raul worked from a picture we had found in a home design magazine. The cabinet looks just like the picture- only better. We cannot say enough good things about Mario and Raul. We only wish we had found them sooner. We recommend them to you without reservation, Michael & Carol Young, South Padre Island"

"The trimming went great. This was a very complicated situation because of the size and shape of the tree plus the massive deterioration to the inside of the tree. We had several contractors out to review the tree and give quotes. The solution that Rick came up with turned out to be the best and the cheapest. What more can you ask for. I will be using Rain Hunters more in the future"

"From the beginning, when I met Mr. Jim Hernandez, he and the other staff members were very courteous and professional. Materials and cost were explained and agreed upon. The job was delayed due to several days of continuous rain. They made sure that the job would be done when it was clear. Once the job was begun, I was shown the damage. I was shown the before and after pictures. I was very pleased with the work. They did a great and professional job. I can rest assured that the new roof will last a long time and prevent my home from being damaged by inclement weather. I will recommend Roofing Solutions to anyone who needs a roof replacement."

"We hired Property Maintenance Professionals for 2 jobs recently. 1) Was to repair 2 walls in a bedroom & replace 2 bedroom doors.. They were the light at the end of a dark tunnel, they rescued us from ?handyman hell?. Then they took their time & made sure the jobs were done right & correctly. They also went the extra mile & did things they did not need to. We would very highly recommend them to anyone. They will be regulars with us. NOTE: The repairs they did for us were in a house we rented & we did have the paint color to finish the walls."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Wood stain is not flammable after it dries. The solvent in wood stain is what causes the liquid form to be highly flammable, but the stain drying process involves the solvents dissolving, which leaves behind a non-flammable product on your wood project. Wood stain is, however, flammable before you apply it, so you should always store partially full cans and used wood stain rags away from sources of heat and open flames.

It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the deck refinishing process. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.

Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint. 

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.

There’s no single paint that’s the most waterproof. Instead, there are several types of waterproof and water-resistant paints that suit different purposes. Epoxy paint, for instance, is commonly used to provide a waterproof coating to floors and decks. Masonry paint is an excellent choice for exterior walls. Meanwhile, there are waterproof acrylic paints that can be used for interior and exterior walls. It’s more about choosing the best type for what you’re painting instead of the most waterproof paint overall.
