"We had a great experience with Sal! Our house is 130 years old and has not been painted in 25 years. Honestly, we weren’t even sure the house could be painted and expected the condition of the exterior to be a major challenge. He did an amazing job bringing it back to life! He paid close attention to detail, was hardworking and professional, and took great pride in his work. The finished result exceeded our expectations, and our old house looks fantastic. We are extremely happy with the transformation and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled, reliable, and quality painter!"

"The Village of Orleans is extremely pleased with the exceptional kitchen renovations completed by M&R at the Orleans Municipal Building. From start to finish they demonstrated outstanding professionalism, attention to detail, and craftsmanship. The scope of the project included installing new flooring, countertops, cabinet hardware, and a fresh coat of paint on the walls and cabinets. The results have transformed the space, giving it a modern, refreshed look. Communication was clear throughout with any questions or adjustments addressed promptly and respectfully. We are extremely satisfied with the results and will definitely be hiring M&R again for future projects!"

"Jack and his crew did an excellent job. My location is somewhat difficult in several respects. One side of the house faces Lake Champlain and the only access to that side is from the deck. There is no ground on which to stage ladders but they made it work. Parking is also an issue and they were able to bring their trailer and place it in a location that allowed the neighbors access to their property. Sounds confusing but this is "rural Vermont"
The job was a day and half. They cleaned up carefully making sure all nails and old shingles were picked up and removed. Everyone was polite and professional.

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

A five-gallon bucket of deck stain will cover roughly 875 square feet in a single coat. Actual coverage will vary based on the type of wood you’re staining and the number of coats. If you plan on doing multiple coats, multiply the square footage by the number of coats to calculate how many buckets of stain you’ll need.

No, it is not okay to paint over rotted wood. Painting over rotted wood will not address the underlying issue and can trap moisture, leading to further decay. Properly addressing the rotted wood by removing and replacing or repairing the damaged areas is necessary before you can even consider painting.

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. 

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.
