"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!"

Customers say: Terrific value

"Jeff and Donny did an excellent job staining our replacement two-level deck with pergola, rails and steps. We chose Cabot semi-transparent stain and the results are beautiful. Jeff gave us a fair quote and arranged the project date. Communication was great. We will look forward to more home projects with Jeff in the future."

"Everything turned out amazing! Donnie and his son were so Profesional! They powerwashed my house, painted the entire interior, fixed the drywall where it needed, painted and stained my front porch and stained my back deck. He even went above and beyond by reinstalling my railing that leads upstairs that was loose and installed a missing doorstop in one of the bathrooms! Very reasonable pricing and I would definitely recommend him to anyone! Thank you so much for doing such an awesome job my house looks amazing thanks to you and your company!!!"

"Juan was available within a few days of calling to meet me at the residence to go over the scope of work needed. This included removing and replacing rotted soffit and fascia board, power washing, prep, and painting of entire exterior of wood siding and replaced woodwork. Was very reasonably priced and started the work within a couple of days. Additional scope of work was added due to unexpected wood rot but Juan was also reasonable with additional costs. We also agreed to add new gutter & downspouts. The quality of work throughout was outstanding. Since I didn't live there, Juan would periodically text me photos of the work as it progressed. Finished the work within a few weeks as discussed and very pleased with the job."

"Jesus first met with us to give us an estimate and walk us through our options. We were impressed with Jesus's knowledge of roofing and dedication to providing quality work and quality materials. Although he was confident in his ability to provide the service for the best price and quality, he was not pushy. He encouraged us to get other estimates for the job. We took his advice to get other estimates, and he was dead on with the price/quality difference. Another estimate we received for the job was $1,300 more and did not use the same quality of materials. Since we were unsure about what shingles would look best for our roof, Jesus took us to his supplier (ABC Roofing Supply) to look together. Jesus helped us to make the decision while not being overbearing. We gave Jesus a 50% down payment on Monday, and his crew was there and finished by Saturday of the same week. The work looks wonderful and could not have gone any smoother. I was especially impressed with the amount of cleanup that they did. No dreaded roofing nails scattered throughout the yard. Jesus is doing work for other people in our neighborhood, and I can assure you he and his crew are some of the hardest working men around. They come early and stay late to get the job done.

"EaZy Construction replaced our roof and caulked around the window frames in the front of my house in July 2020. The crew was very professional, did a great job, showed up as expected, and did a thorough job cleaning up before they left. I would highly recommend them!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Whether you can paint over your existing paint depends on what’s on there. Most of the time, you’ll want to sand down or scrape off the paint that’s currently coating your surface. Epoxy paint, for example, won’t let new paint stick to the surface. Latex paint is more forgiving and will accept a new coat, but a primer is recommended if you’re switching colors.

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

It’s a good idea to sand your porch before painting. This will remove loose or chipped paint and debris, and give you a cleaner surface so that your new paint goes on smoothly. But if the existing surface is in good condition, it’s not necessary to sand your porch before you paint.

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.

Two coats of stain are ideal for the best protection and aesthetic appeal. However, if your decking is made of particularly dense hardwood, you may only need one coat. If you want an intense color, two coats are ideal.
