"I had two large bathrooms that needed to have very bold print wall paper removed or covered up.  I was very nervous about this process as I had heard stories and seen bad examples of attempts to do this.  I sought out consultations and found Steven Macon to be the most thorough and to offer the most comprehensive plan for ensuring full coverage with a combination of stripping loose areas, sealing seams and texturing over bold print prior to primer and paint.  He looked at each room and inspected the condition, texture and print of the wall paper very thoroughly before making his recommendations.  He offered several levels of texturing, providing pictures to assist me in the decision process.  He patiently explained the process he would use in each room which varied based on the condition of the wall paper.  He was thorough, answered all of my questions, gave options in consideration of my budget and put my mind at ease regarding the quality of the end result.  I was uncertain of color scheme and he was very helpful in providing color suggestions that would complement the surrounding areas in the house and still provide some accent.  All of this took place in our initial consultation.  After reviewing the three bids and consultations that I had obtained there was no question he was the best option as no one provided the comprehensive knowledge base that he clearly had of both interior design and technique.  He was able to meet the very specific schedule requirements that I had within a week's time and was willing to work with me in coordinating access to the house.  I found him to be very dependable and respectful of my time.  He always contacted me if he was running even a few minutes behind schedule when meeting me at the house.  Other than utilizing a helper on the initial prep stage, he did all of the work himself.  When the helper was there, Mr. Macon worked right along aside him at all times.  As previously stated, I was not sure of my color selection for one of the bathrooms so he used a color primer to help me get a feel for the look and when I asked to change the final coat color he didn't hesitate and made the change which ended up being perfect.  Several months later I have had ample opportunity to inspect the quality of the work and can say that you would not know there was ever wall paper in either bathroom and the texture and paint coverage/color looks fantastic. I found Steven Macon to be very knowledgeable about all aspects of the interior design process.  He has a degree in interior design and art and brings an understanding of the overall context that I had not experienced with previous painters or in any other consultations.  He is pleasant, professional and very competitive in his pricing.  I would not hesitate to use him again and would recommend him to anyone.  He has the perfect blend of interior design knowledge, technique,  and professionalism."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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. 

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.

The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage. 

Constant exposure to inclement weather conditions can damage your deck, causing it to fade, warp, or crack over time. Regular maintenance keeps it looking and performing its best. That means giving it a good cleaning and applying a quality sealant or wood treatment to help defend against moisture, sun damage, and everyday wear.

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.
