"We chose W C Painting based on its many great customer reviews and the prompt, reasonable estimate Walter provided us. With the work completed, Walter and crew get an "A" in each category connected to the job (including flexibility in accommodating a color change and some add on work). The prep work -- powerwashing; scraping; sanding; wood repair and replacement; caulking; priming -- was particularly impressive, and will make the paint job itself (which looks great!) last for many years. We would definitely use this hardworking, trustworthy, professional outfit again, and will not hesitate to recommend it to others."

"Went very well.   Amazing difference!   Impressive 'before and after'.   Previously the brick was very gray, dingy with mildew/mold.   Brick and aging wood deck all now look like new!

"Dale was very responsive to my request for an estimate. he gave it right away, and it was a fair price. He power washed my deck and staircase and stained it. It looks great, and he was very professional and pleasant to work with. He is new to the area, and needs to get the word out. I would highly recommend him."

"G.W. Services pressure washed the entire house, move furniture ands plants off two decks; painted the decks, railing and strairs. They also waterproofed my shed deck and stairs. They worked quickly and efficiently. Everything was done well. And at a reasonable price. Highly recommended."

"The piping under our sink had been leaking for some time before we bought the home, and the previous owners had covered it up with a ?false floor? and tiles to hide the damage.  We contacted Mr. Palumb and he came over and gave us an estimate to repair the damage. We decided to go ahead and re model the kitchen, since the repair work was going to be extensive.   We trusted Mr. Palumb and were happy with the price and his suggestions.  Mr. Palumb finished up the work in a month and informed us that if anything were wrong with the work, that he would come back and fix it.  He said to make a list, which he referred to as a ?punch list.? We were happy that the kitchen was done and the nightmare plumbing issue and water damage were resolved.  After the work was completed, we began noticing a couple of flaws in the kitchen. We also noticed that in the sun room behind the kitchen, there was exposed piping; Mr. Palumb had removed the wall outside to gain access to the piping, but did not cover it.  Additionally, debris and a large segment of drywall were left in our sun room.  After contacting Mr. Palumb about these issues, he gave us a date that he would come back and fix the kitchen.  My husband took a day of leave for this project, and Mr. Palumb did not show up.  We called him again and scheduled another day for the project, with myself taking time off from work.  When he arrived, he fixed what needed to be fixed, which we were generally happy about it. When I asked about the exposed piping, he said that he would have to buy a whole roll of insulation for just a tiny piece, so it would be better if we did it ourselves.  He also cut a hole in the drywall to place a shut off valve for the outdoor pipe.  He told us we could put a panel over the hole to gain access to the shut off valve.  Unfortunately, the hole was too big for any panels found at the store and required a drywall patch job and re-cutting of the drywall to fit the panel, which we had to fix ourselves.  Mr. Palumb also left a mess in our sun room, which included a large amount of sawdust, nails on the floor, building debris, and dried caulking on the brick floor.  Today we discovered some leaking under the sink.  When we investigated the leak, we discovered that the pipe Mr. Palumb installed had a crack!  We are now cleaning up the area and figuring out how to repair the damage0

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Essential tools include brushes or rollers, drop cloths, sandpaper or power sanders, and appropriate cleaning supplies. Quality materials ensure long-lasting results.

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. 

A concrete overlay is often the most cost-effective way to resurface a pool deck. To do this, you’ll need to pour a thin layer of concrete over the existing pool deck, which you can customize by stamping or painting. A stamped concrete overlay provides additional traction on a pool deck that can help minimize the risk of people slipping and falling.

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

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.
