"The painting went very well. John Alden did such a nice job on a neighbor's house that I hired him to repaint our Cape Cod style house. The pressure washing and application of stain (Benjamin Moore) were completed in good time, with high quality finish on siding and trim. They took good care of the surrounding garden while working and cleaned up well when done. All of the team were very pleasant to have around. Overall an excellent experience."
"The service was terrific. He was perfectionist, he worked extremely hard to paint as we wanted, he has a lot of experienced in painting, he has some creative input to offer, his suggestions was very helpful, he was diligent and he did the job on time."
"Actually they started it beginning of August, and they just finished it last Thursday. I had a little trouble with them. The deck came out beautiful but I tell you they were very unprofessional, they made me wait, they never called me for weeks. The reason they finished it was because I went to the top and I called the owner and complained about them because they were making me wait. They never gave me my railings, they told me that the company cut them too short and then 3 weeks later, they didn't call me to tell me what's going on so I finally had to call the owner. They did beautiful work but I wouldn't hire them again. They do a good job but if you don't want the work done right away, hire them but if you want the work done right away and you want punctuality and professionalism, I wouldn't call them. I think their workers were very unprofessional, they left cigarette butts all over my yard, they never magnetized my yard for all the nails and they blasted their radio while they were at my house "

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place.
When applying multiple coats, wait four to six hours for each coat to dry. Not waiting long enough can result in streaks, peeling, and uneven color. Plus, it will be more difficult to discern where the second coat has already been applied.
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.
If you have a smooth, already bonded concrete surface, painting a concrete pool deck can be a great way to brighten up the area and add longevity. If the surface has another covering or a different type of paint has been used previously, you won’t be able to paint it without removing the existing coating. Wooden decks benefit from painting as it helps to keep them watertight. Quality pool deck paints also help make the surface less slippery and less likely to gather mold and mildew or prematurely crack.
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.
