"Billy and his crew did an incredible job. I needed help painting over an extremely dark color - I was worried about the white not being able to cover the dark color. The crew had to do three coats, but it looks amazing and you would never know the walls use to be very dark. I am very happy with the work they did! Thank you!"

"A pleasure to work with David and his crew. Great communication, great service. Workers were here each day until the job was finished. Prepped and painted the exterior of my 2-story house, with accent trim and doors, power-washed and oiled my wood decks- all within 4 days!! David responded quickly to questions and went the extra mile to make sure I was happy with the work. My house looks amazing! Very pleased with the value for the price. Would hire again."

"We had Travis come and paint our entry, kitchen and living room, including ceiling. He did a fantastic job. We would hire him again in a heart beat. He hand rolled the whole job and it is perfect. And we found the price to be very reasonable."

"As a former project manager for a general contractor, I have hired many contractors over the years. Derek had a bid to me within two hours of me posting ad and had a crew at our building the day after I hired him. He agreed to do more work for the same price. If you would like to speak to me or see our building, please contact Derek for my info."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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. 

Here's the deal with leaving used rags covered in oil-based stain lying around in a pile: Depending on the conditions, these rags can take just an hour or up to a few days to combust. The source of ignition is caused by trapped heat that can be compounded if the rags are near a heat source.

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.

Liquid rubber is great for waterproofing, but it can damage your deck if it’s not applied correctly. First, it can trap moisture in the wood if the deck isn’t completely dry before application.  Second, applying it too thickly can create a heavy, rubbery surface layer that peels and cracks under fluctuating temperatures. For the best results, ensure the wood is completely dry before application, and apply the liquid rubber in thin, even coats. A quick inspection every now and then will help you catch any issues early, keeping your deck protected and looking its best.
