"I hired Terry from Reyes LLC to remove our popcorn ceiling and paint afterwards. He did a fantastic job in a quick time frame getting everything stripped, painted and ultimately improved in a matter of days. Will hire again for my next project and I recommend others to do the same."

"First I'll get this out of the way: They had made a clerical error on the original estimate that caused their bid amount to be lower than the final outcome - but we were able to work it out, and I was happy with my choice. Beyond that, we had excellent service from Sejay construction. Rick, Walt, and crew were very friendly and meticulous. They had the job started and done in no time at all. Throughout the job, Rick was always prompt, and kept me posted on how things were going, along with their findings, in case additional repairs would be needed. The roof and chimney flashing looks absolutely beautiful, and the skill and experience these folks have really shines through in every aspect. The cost of the job was extremely competitive, and I can't believe how efficient the whole process was. I would definitely hire them again to do other work."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Hiring a contractor or professional deck refinisher is the best way to ensure your deck is properly stained. They have the expertise, tools, and supplies to do the job quickly and efficiently. However, staining a deck is a manageable task for most homeowners, and doing the job yourself can save money. Just keep in mind that DIY staining is a long process requiring physical strain, so it may not be the best option for everyone.

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.

Aftercare includes routine cleaning, checking for water repellency, and promptly addressing any chips or peels, maintaining the deck's appearance and functionality.

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.
