"Cesar was great to work this. Came out immediately and provided a good quote. His crew was able to come out the next day. Power washed the fence, replaced some damaged boards and rebuilt the gates. Restained everything, the fence looks great. Cesar walked through with me ensuring I was satisfied."

"Painting was done in conjunction with roof and gutter replacement after a hail storm. Work was done quickly and with excellent results. Two years later, the exterior painting still looks great. The fence was stained at the same time and also still looks great. I've used this contractor since and referred him to others. He's really responsive and easy to work with."

"We recently completed a whole home interior paint projects (3/2 1800 sq ft). Ivan, our project manager, walked the house with me and provided a fully detailed, written estimate afterwards. We chose this company due to the competitive pricing (not the cheapest or most expensive), online reviews (from several sources) and that they have employees (which makes the bid a bit higher but worth it). They arrived on time (every day) with the correct paint. We were fortunate to have a 5-man team who worked hard, start to finish, each day (no messing around, too many breaks etc). They covered everything appropriately and none of our floors or personal items were damaged or accidentally painted. When they had to move our larger antiques, bed, electronics, they were careful. They staged their materials appropriately in the rooms (if you have a larger family than our 2-person household and need to live in while doing it, make sure that's known so they'll clean up every night or 'camp out' with your kids and make it fun). They were very accommodating of my request to repaint certain sections up to three times (paint samples were bleeding through). They really seemed like they wanted me to be happy. Happy I was. Because I could stay home while they were working, I could answer questions if needed, but they went to work and so did I. We had little interaction and that was fine. We walked through each day to check progress. They let me blue tape areas to tackle the next day. At the end we did a final walk through and it was a beautiful project. They even took the mirrors off the wall to paint behind them! I highly recommend and may hire them to paint our garage when we move in a few years."

"Ronald did an excellent job. I’m very happy with the way it turned out. He was on time. Did the job in a timely manner very professional. Once he started the job, he finished completely and in a short period of time and the stain looks fantastic on the shed. I would recommend this pro for any job that you have or you need done."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

A wood deck requires annual cleaning and regular inspections for loose or broken boards, nails, and screws. It should be refinished by applying a stain or sealer every two to three years to protect the wood from water damage, rot, mildew, and sun fading. The exact frequency can depend on the climate and the deck's exposure to sun and moisture. If your deck is painted, it will need repainting approximately every 10 years. Signs that your deck needs refinishing include faded, splintering, or warping boards.

It’s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that’s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat. 

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

Yes, pressure-treated wood can occasionally turn green due to certain preservatives, such as copper-based chemicals, used during the treatment process. These chemicals react with the wood, creating a greenish tint. The good news? It's temporary, and the color will fade over time. Staining or painting can also help hide any unwanted hues.

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.
