"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!"

"Walter came promptly and gave us an estimate. After giving him the job, he and his crew were very prompt. They powered washed the two story house and garage in one day; came back the next and began painting. Every surface was washed and painted with two coats of Duration paint. The crew was polite and cheerful. They worked every day and got the whole job done in about a week. We are extremely pleased with the way our house and garage look. Walter repaired damaged wood, caulked where needed etc. and applied two coats of paint. The crew were very professional and pleasant. They cleaned up every day. When the job was complete, there were no paint drips or any debris anywhere. We are definitely going to hire Walter again."

"We had this deck repair done in 2019 by a contractor that didn't know what they were doing. Troy came in and expertly repaired our deck and made it safe again. He was fantastic to deal with and did a great job. We will definitely use Troy-Bilt again!"

"Steve and his son Jason did a spectacular job!  They were prompt, efficient, and left everything spotless. It had been a really long time since I had my home power washed, so they had to work really hard to get everything clean.  Now, I can be proud of how my home will look for all my holiday visitors!  I highly recommend them for your power washing needs!!
In addition, when Steve was providing an estimate for me for the power wash job, we talked about his painting service. My screened-in deck really need work!  Anyway, I asked about interior painting of my ceilings, and ended up hired his painting crew to paint 4 of my ceilings. The ceilings were lifted (they were majorly drooping - about 1/2 an inch in the middle) by Ed Sawyer (another Angie's List person that I highly recommend for your drywall needs) back in June, and desperately need new paint.
When my husband took down the ceiling fans to make the ceiling ready for the painters, we discovered that the boxes for our ceiling fans had cracked the drywall, plus they be lifted up from the attic to make them work. Steve's painters (Chris and Russell) fixed the boxes and patched the drywall for us. They did such a great job of both and kept our hose so clean while they worked!  They're scheduled to paint on Monday (Sep 18th), and I'm fully confident that they're work will be excellent.  I'll do another review to let you know.

"Scott Smith is a knowledgeable, skillful builder who has very high standards of performance for himself and his team. When I called to ask about his availability, he called back in a very timely manner, and we were able to set up an appointment in the same week. He was easy to talk to, he listened closely and communicated clearly about the work he would do and the cost of the the projects. His prices were fair. He also made it clear that he would be sure the job was done carefully and to my liking. The projects he completed included powerwashing and staining my deck and stairways leading to and from the deck. He also repaired some damaged drywall in the laundry room. I am very pleased with his work, and I highly recommend Scott for any building projects."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Limewash and whitewash do not harm surfaces if you apply them correctly. Use on non-suitable surfaces can cause issues. For instance, applying limewash or whitewash to surfaces with existing sealants or incompatible materials may lead to poor adhesion or flaking. Also, harsh cleaning agents on limewashed or whitewashed surfaces can damage the finish. Proper preparation, application, and maintenance ensure that limewash and whitewash do not harm surfaces.

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.

It is not always necessary to remove old stain before restaining a deck. If the previous stain is in good condition and is compatible with the new stain, you may be able to apply a new coat after thorough cleaning. However, if the old stain is in bad condition, flaking, or peeling, it is best to remove it completely to ensure an even surface and proper adhesion for the new coat. Staining over a damaged layer can lead to an uneven finish and poor penetration. For best results, test a small area first and consult the stain manufacturer's guidelines.

Eggshell and satin finishes are best for porches because they sit in the sweet spot between scuffable matte and distracting high gloss. Your porch sees a fair amount of wear and tear, so you don’t want paint that’ll show every mark like matte, but you don’t want to be blinded by glossy paint in the sun either. Eggshell and satin have durability and a look that sits nicely in the middle.

Rags used with oil-based stains are highly flammable and can spontaneously combust in the right conditions. To reduce the fire risk, throw them in a metal container after use and add rocks on top to secure them. Add an inch of water and seal the container. Take the rags in the container to a hazardous waste factory as soon as possible.
