"Wilbers Painting company did an excellent job painting my gutters/downspouts and trim around my front door. I also had my front door stained which did not come out to my satisfaction the first time and I showed Wilber a picture of the door and he came back and re-sanded the door and re-stained it. It is beautiful now. Wilber stands behind his work. I would definitely hire his company again for future painting projects. Wilber and his staff were very professional and courteous. M. CASEY"

"BLESSED BROTHERS WERE VERY PROFESSIONAL. THE HOUSE AND DECK WERE EXTREMELY DIRTY FROM 4 YEARS OF OTHER HOUSE BUILDING IN THE AREA. THEY GOT THE HOUSE AND DECK LOOKING LIKE NEW! WE DEFINITELY WOULD USE THEM THE NEXT TIME."
"Marshall’s crew built our deck in one day and we couldn’t be more happy. They do quality work and have a very hard working crew (even in the overwhelming heat)."
"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."
"Wonderful! Great job! Salazar Painting has done several jobs for me. Excellent work, jobs completed on time, always cleaned up,he was there when he said he would be and finished on time. I will be hiring Salazar Painting for more jobs in the future."
"Jesus and his crew far exceeded our expectations. They finished our roof within 1 1/2 days! They arrived punctual each morning and worked tirelessly. When they were finished they cleaned up so well you couldn't even tell work had been performed! I was worried about nails being left on the ground but Jesus's crew assured me they will clean and do the best they can to get all of them. Our new roof looks amazing! We went with a darker color(we have red brick home with black shutters and a red front door and an paved driveway) so we felt the darker shingle would look best and once they were done it looks wonderful! We were so pleased with their work and we highly recommend Jesus and his crew! We have even reached out to Jesus to give us an estimate on replacing our gutters! I would definitely hire Jesus again!"
We had flood damage to our basement. I called Dave to assess to the need for repainting. He came the same day to provide an estimate and was able to begin work within two days. Dave's estimate was in the middle range in terms of price so based on that and his friendly and professional demeanor, I decided to give him a try.
I have not been disappointed. The finished work far exceeds my expectations. During the project Dave and his crew were always very neat and respectful of our very busy home. He always showed up when he said he would and even came back after new carpet was installed to repair the scratches and scuffs that popped up.
"It went very, very well. Mr. Wayland was polite, professional and very personable. He showed great knowledge in all areas regarding the different projects .He did an outstanding job with everything. He was very tidy and conscientious. Very reasonable in his prices. I am now going to contract him to stain and repair my deck and build wood siding around my chimney, I know it will look great !"
"Ferguson Home Improvements was very professional and on time when they did our tile work. The technicians were very respectful and instructed us of everything they were going to do in there step by step process and made sure we approved everything before the began the work. After the work was completed on-time and within budget they explained to us how to care for our new floor and made sure that our house was left they way it was when the arrived. We received a call about a week later from the owner of Ferguson Home Improvements to make sure we were satisfied with the work. All and all it was a great experience and we will use them in the future. "
A wood deck requires annual cleaning and regular inspections for loose or broken boards, nails, and screws. It should be refinished by applying a stain or sealer every two to three years to protect the wood from water damage, rot, mildew, and sun fading. The exact frequency can depend on the climate and the deck's exposure to sun and moisture. If your deck is painted, it will need repainting approximately every 10 years. Signs that your deck needs refinishing include faded, splintering, or warping boards.
If you have wood decking, there are several common deck problems that you might encounter. For example, your natural wood boards may fade over time due to things like sunlight, weather, and debris. On top of that, some types of wood decking can rot, grow mold, and attract destructive pests—including termites, carpenter ants, and woodpeckers.
Various kinds of substances and deck preservatives act as protective coatings for wood to prevent rot, which is caused by water getting into the wood and creating cracks and splits. Stains, paints, and sealants are the three best options to protect your wood, but there are also oils, varnishes, and waxes available. You’ll need to reapply sealant at least once per year, and you should inspect your wood deck regularly to look for signs of damage or general wear and tear.
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.
The staining or painting process involves cleaning the deck, sanding surfaces, applying a primer (if needed), and carefully applying stain or paint for an even, lasting finish.
