"I had just purchased a house and the paint in the kitchen and family rooms were a dark (and I mean DARK) shade of brown. I desperately needed the space to be lightened up and for the work to be done before I moved in. Because of how dark it was (and how many places), it took detailed work and several coats. Sean tackled the project like a pro. Excellent outcome (see pics of the kitchen) and on time! I couldn't have been happier."

"Ken is by far the best contractor I have ever worked with. His attention to detail and workmanship are top-notch. He is honest, reliable, and trustworthy. I would give him ten stars if I could. He did an amazing job painting our monolithic dome and 3 car garage. He also helped with landscaping, interior paint, carpentry, and several other things that needed attention. I am so grateful to found him and would hire him again in an instant!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.

A five-gallon bucket of deck stain will cover roughly 875 square feet in a single coat. Actual coverage will vary based on the type of wood you’re staining and the number of coats. If you plan on doing multiple coats, multiply the square footage by the number of coats to calculate how many buckets of stain you’ll need.

If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.

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.
