"Wilber and his team did a good job. There were some touchups for the paint and stain that required the crew to come back (perhaps I'm a bit demanding), but overall I'm pleased. The natural oak stain on the stairs was well matched to the existing flooring and the paint job was well done with Sherwin Williams Cashmere (upcharge from Promar). Overall a good value."
"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!!!"

"William MacKay Roofing is a family business. I purchased a package from this company to have my roof inspected since more than 20 years have passed since it had been replaced. The MacKays arrived promptly as stated when we made the appointment. The employees were very professional, my roof was inspected, and I was shown pictures of my roof with an explanation of the its condition. Since my roof did not need to be replaced, I advised Mr. MacKay that I would call him to replace my roof when that time came. I was very satisfied with the services provided by this company and would definitely use them again because of the excellent services that I received with this inspection. "
"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)."

George (Jorge) was exactly on time when he came for the estimate. He recommended a paint brand that was very nice (Sherwin Williams Cashmere) and carefully documented the areas of work. His estimate was right in line with what I was expecting. He set a start date of the 14th.
A company rep (his son), called the day before to check-in and let me know they would arrive at 7 am. They were on time, pleasant and professional. The covered my floors and new carpet an got straight to work. The house took 2 1/2 days and each day they started exactly at 7 and let me know the plan of the day. They returned a fourth day to paint the deck since it had been raining.
The inside of the house and the deck look brand new!! They paid attention to detail, filed all nail holes, and always let me know where they were in project. I could not be happier with the great work they did. I am very picky, but could only find 2 small areas that needed touch-ups.
The crew also helped me move an old love seat and set-up my new table. I was so relieved because I had no idea how I was going to do it. They were so helpful.
This a family company with great employees and I am so happy I found them!! I would definitely recommend them and hire them again!!!
"I highly recommend Diego and his crew. Our deck was in pretty bad shape but they restored the deck to almost new condition. They identified and replaced boards, power washed and stained and sealed the deck. Communication was excellent."
Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.
You should refinish your deck to maintain its appearance, durability, and longevity. Refinishing your deck protects the wood from foot traffic and the elements. It also helps extend its life span by keeping rot, mildew, and termites at bay. By maintaining your deck, you can avoid the cost of replacing your deck sooner. A refinished deck also looks great and restores some of its original beauty.

Liquid rubber is great for waterproofing, but it can damage your deck if it’s not applied correctly. First, it can trap moisture in the wood if the deck isn’t completely dry before application. Second, applying it too thickly can create a heavy, rubbery surface layer that peels and cracks under fluctuating temperatures. For the best results, ensure the wood is completely dry before application, and apply the liquid rubber in thin, even coats. A quick inspection every now and then will help you catch any issues early, keeping your deck protected and looking its best.
Whitewashing isn’t permanent, but it can last for a long, long time. When you apply it correctly or have a seasoned pro whitewash your brick, whitewashing can last for 20 to 30 years or longer. Whitewash is very durable and typically requires little maintenance, making it a great project for most DIYers.
