"Enlightium Preparatory Academy hired Jeff and his crew to remodel several classrooms, replace 15 windows, paint, and renovate the exterior stairs. We are very pleased with their work. Jeff and his team completed the project ahead of schedule, delivered excellent quality, and were open to suggestions—even mid-project adjustments to the original plan. I would highly recommend Jeff and his team for any construction project."

"Elias Contruction provided a detailed estimate after inspecting the roof and making some qualified recommendations. The project required a few change orders that were not clarified in writing. I would recommend hiring Elias if you get changes in writing. They cleaned up pretty well although they missed a few things due to finishing in the dark. Overall satisfied with the job and cost was 60% of other bids due to sheathing adjustment."

"John has painted our condos in the past and we were happy use him again. There are 8 2-story units with cedar siding. Painting included front doors and garage doors and some decks as requested by homeowners. He completed all the services listed in our agreement at a very fair price.

"These guys were absolutely great! I’m pretty picky and they exceeded my expectations. I had the exterior of my home painted last week and it looks fabulous. They caulked, caulked, and then caulked some more. The trim and ceiling lines were very clean. House was sprayed and back rolled (the proper way to do it). The whole crew was very friendly and trustworthy. I had some small plants started near the house and they didn’t accidentally step on a single one, even I stepped on one a few weeks ago. When it was time for the final walkthrough, there was one tiny little spot they missed, that’s it. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone and if I ever need to have paint done again, this is who I would hire. Quality work is hard to come by these days, and they are top notch."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must. 

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

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.

For the longest-lasting exterior paint, consider acrylic or enamel (oil-based) paints. Acrylic paints, including acrylic latex and acrylic enamel, are known for withstanding harsh weather and sun exposure. Enamel-based paints are also one of the most durable options available. While latex paint is common, it typically has a shorter lifespan than acrylic or oil-based options. The paint's finish also affects its durability; a higher gloss finish is generally more durable. For resistance to moisture and cracking, matte and satin finishes can be effective, while a high-gloss acrylic or oil-based paint offers a combination of maximum longevity and durability.

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.
