"Don’t look further! Beautiful job on complete upstairs including cabinets and doors. Exceptionally hard workers and are almost artistic in their attention to detail. Met and surpassed our wildest imagination of what we had dreamed of… We are retired and they not only did the job timely but were very conscious of our special needs. If you pick someone else you made a BIG mistake. Bill B"

Customers say: True professional

"We were in the process of selling our house but wanted to give the walls and cabinets a fresh coat of paint before putting our house on the market. Gerardo was able to come in a lot sooner than other painters. The other bids I received were out 2+ weeks and he also finished sooner than we expected. He is very professional and his quality of work was excellent. We will definitely use him again for future projects and would highly recommend!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. 

Routine cleaning, sealing/staining, and inspection prolong deck life and appearance.

Adding a second coat of stain to wood can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.
