"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

Yes, it is generally a very good idea to seal your deck after pressure washing. Power washing removes not only dirt and debris but also a thin layer of wood, leaving the surface exposed and more susceptible to weathering. Sealing is almost always needed after this process. After a general cleaning, sealing isn't automatically necessary if the existing sealant is still intact. You can test the surface by placing a few drops of water on it. If the water beads up, the sealant is working. If it soaks into the wood, it's time to apply a new sealant. If it has been a few years, it's wise to remove the old sealant, wash the deck, and reseal for maximum protection.

Apply a wood stain or sealant to properly maintain a wood deck railing and keep it looking new. Sealants protect wood from moisture and weathering. Regularly inspect the railing for loose screws, damaged balusters, and other signs of wear to make timely repairs. Routinely clean the railing using mild soap, water, and a soft bristle brush.

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.

Beyond liquid rubber, homeowners can use sealants, stains, membranes, or tapes as waterproofing options. Oil-based or water-based sealants soak into the wood, creating a moisture-resistant barrier. Waterproofing stains—available in transparent, semi-transparent, and solid colors—add both protection and style to your deck. For heavy-duty waterproofing, deck membranes and waterproof tapes can be applied under the deck boards to direct water away from the structure below. Whatever method you choose, clean and prep the deck first to ensure the best, longest-lasting results.

Yes, beginners can use a paint sprayer, but there is a learning curve. It's important to go slowly, read the instructions thoroughly, and spend some time learning the technique. Watching tutorial videos for your specific paint sprayer model can be very helpful. Before starting your main project, practice on a scrap surface to get used to the sprayer and avoid common issues like overspraying, which can cause drips, bubbles, and other imperfections. For safety, always wear a mask and gloves, and be careful not to touch the sprayer's tip when it's in use, particularly with high-powered airless sprayers.
