"I was so impressed with Wilber and his employees that in addition to painting our deck, I also hired him to pressure wash our deck and fence, replace the lattice on our pergola, as well as perform some other minor wood work. His responsiveness, quality of work and price were all excellent and would be hard to match. I have already referred him to several others in our neighborhood and look forward to hiring him again in the future!"

"Quality of work appears very good and work ethic of the roofing team was very good -- worked very hard and long hours with few breaks even in high heat and humidity. And the price seemed very reasonable compared to other quotes I received. I would use them again. Only 3 complaints, only the first of which I would consider serious. 1. Scheduling (which I rated above as punctuality, since there was no scheduling category) -- This past spring was a busy time for roofers due to the bad storms, and it was a bit rainy, so I fully understand and appreciate why it took many weeks to get me scheduled. What is unacceptable, though, is that I felt as if I was being misled and strung along regarding the installation date. Specifically, I was initially given an estimated installation date, depending on weather, of about 3 weeks out from when I signed the contract (and sent them a substantial deposit), but I was assured that it would not be any later than one month out. The week before the month was up, I called and was given some reason why it would be another couple weeks. That went by, and then a couple more weeks (at this point weather was fine and no longer an issue), and, then a couple more weeks until finally I blew up and accused them of 'bait and switch' -- I complained that it seemed to me that they had never intended to do my work within a month or even within 2 months of receiving my deposit -- it felt like they were stringing me along rather than giving me a realistic date upfront. A couple days later I got a firm date the following week and the work was done. In all, it was well over 2 months from when I signed the contract until when they installed. 2. Care for my Property -- The method they used for removing the old roof resulted in some minor property damage. Flying shingles damaged two window screens and resulted in some minor marring of the finish on the side of my new deck and on the painted trim on my house, and some slight damage to my mailbox. Not a huge deal. 3. Clean up. For the most part they did a great job cleaning up the high volume of debris. And they did pick up virtually all of the hundreds of nails that came off the old roof. However, they missed a few nails in the driveway (probably that had rolled under their truck) that could have been bad news for my tires had I not been anal about sweeping up after they left."

"It went well. Mario came out promptly to access the damage to my basement and gave me an estimate that was within my budget. The work was scheduled and completed within a week. The guys Antonio and Daniel repaired drywall, baseboards, shoe molding and replaced the vinyl flooring in the bathroom. They also painted two large walls. The guys did an excellent job matching the stain on the shoe molding. And I just love the bathroom floor...what a great job. The job was scheduled to be finished in one day but they had a problem finding the shoe molding that matched. They were back the day and all is well. What a great job guys. I will definitely use their services again."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

The best way to protect a deck is to prevent damage from UV light, water, mold, mildew, insects, and abrasive cleaning methods. Sweep regularly to prevent debris that hides bugs and traps moisture that can result in mold or mildew growth. Use a deck cleaner once a year to remove algae, mold, and mildew. Avoid using pressure washers on high, as they can damage the wood. Applying a deck sealant can protect the wood from UV and water damage, and adding shade can also reduce sunlight damage.

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.

You’ll need to restrain your deck when you notice fading, cracking, peeling, or mold and mildew over a moderate to large area, or when it’s become especially difficult to clean. As for how often to stain a deck, plan to do it every two to three years or whenever you start to notice extended damage.

You can use latex or acrylic paint outdoors. Although acrylic paint tends to last longer outside, it also costs more, so if you’re painting the outside of your house, for instance, latex paint is often a go-to option. However, acrylic will be your best choice if you want to spend some extra money for added durability.

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.
