"I was very happy without the work,they were very professional, they were very communicative, they were prompt in starting the work there was no time log."
"I am pleased to report the fabulous interior/exterior paint job Johnson Painting provided us and only the highest praise for Dwayne Johnson and his team. They were courteous, prompt, extremely professional and left our home very clean. I wanted to give our home a fresh new look and am completely amazed by the results. I would highly recommend them!"
"All work was done in a timely, professional manner. Shingles and majority of the work was done within two days with a few items finished a few weeks later-a skylight that had to be ordered, etc. Everyone did a top notch job. The roofers even went over the grounds two times picking up nails after the job was done, and did a very good job at that. They were very pleasant folks. We were glad to have them do the work. After the ridge vents were installed, I noticed s savings in my electric bill, too. We wee able to raise our thermostat by 3 degrees and still stayed cool in the last few hot days of summer. Ridge vents are definitely the way to go. Thank you, Tony and crew. Keep up the good work. I highly recommend Tony's Roofing Service. The office staff even helped me get my warranty registered with the Certainteed company after the work had been completed. "
"Our storage building build was awesome. It came out really nice and was was done quickly. Their work ethic is beyond great. They go above and beyond what is required."
"Install went great. I needed the ability to haul my goose neck horse trailer and I had a few preferences in functionality and he built it exactly as I had imagined"
"Good Guys came out to my house, gave me an estimate (really competitive) and within 2 days, they were working on my new roof. They were very professional and clean. No mess left behind, which is always a problem with any construction work done at my house. They started and finished the job within 2 days. I would definitely use them again and I recommend to all my family and friends. Great Job Good Guys!!!"
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.
Hot, intense sunshine can cause your stain to dry too quickly, which could lead it to look uneven or patchy. If you’re staining the deck during hotter months, it’s best to do it in the morning or evening once the wood has had time to cool down. If you’re staining in cooler weather with less sunshine, the time of day won’t make as much of a difference.
Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years.
The best paint for an older deck depends on the material and whether or not your deck already has a coat of paint. Generally, if your deck already has paint on it, you should choose the same type of paint when repainting the deck. For example, if an old deck has oil-based paint on it, stick with oil; if your deck has water-based paint, choose water-based paint.
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.
