We are your one stop shop for any of your interior and exterior remodeling and renovation needs. With almost 10 years of general contracting experience, we are here to address all your remodeling, painting, floors, drywall and more. Give us a call today for your FREE ESTIMATE!

"Lesson learned. You get what you pay for. Deveto (Veto), quoted me a two-day job starting on a Wednesday and ending on Thursday. Unfortunately he was late the first day by half an hour and did not return until the following Saturday. This was after several days of my husband continuously contacting him. The first day he advised us that he would fix a few cracks and taping off the area, which would only take a few hours. Instead he actually worked for approximately 9 hours. This would not have been an issue had I known before hand. He did a good job protecting the woodwork in my home however, the actual painting was very sloppy and rushed. Unfortunately there was only one coat of paint applied and it showed. Veto lacks communication skills and seems to have little to no respect for others time. I would definitely NOT recommend hiring this company for any future work!"

Abrahamson Services provides a wide range of services to the 4 county Milwaukee area. Anything from windows, doors, roofs, gutters/toppers/cleaning, to roof raking, ice removal and interior work

"Ken was fantastic from start to finish. I hired him to remove an old basketball hoop, pour new cement, and install a new one. The job turned out to be much tougher than expected—the old cement was nearly impossible to break up and the clay ground was hard to dig deeper for the required dept —but Ken handled it like a pro, using a jackhammer and digging through hard clay soil without complaint. Despite the extra work and materials needed, he stuck to his original price even when I asked to pay him more, which speaks volumes about his integrity. He returned a few days later to assemble the hoop, and the final result was perfect—every measurement was spot-on. Ken went above and beyond, and I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again. Highly recommended!"

"While I was quite impressed with Quinn, I was disappointed with our job. In our contract, it stated that vertical cracks and gaps would be caulked (see quote screenshot) and that all siding boards would be replaced that needed it. I pointed out the ones I knew about but was relying on them to tell me what boards needed to be replaced (see email screenshot). As you can see in the pictures from our chimney inspector today (3 weeks after painting), there was no caulk replaced at all and there are at least 8 more boards we found on our chimney that need to be replaced which have HUGE gaps from warping. When I asked Quinn about those particular boards that I could see from the ground, he said his crew told him they were fine. I'm highly disappointed and now have to hire someone else to fix these issues. I chose QGC as they gave me the best "feel" that things would be done correctly. They were my most expensive quote out of 6, I went with them based on what I thought would be done."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

It's okay to walk on a newly painted deck after about four to six hours as long as the weather has been dry. Be sure to wait at least 24 hours before you place any outdoor furniture or grills on a freshly painted deck, though.

Applying a sealer after staining is often recommended, especially for outdoor wood surfaces like decks or fences. It helps protect the wood from moisture, UV rays, and other elements, extending the life of the stain and preserving the wood's appearance. It also enhances the stain's durability and resistance to wear and tear. 

However, in some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection required. Always check the specific product recommendations and consider the wood's exposure and usage when deciding whether to apply a sealer after staining.

Applying a topcoat sealer is not required, but it will keep the stain from fading over time. This is particularly important if the stain imparts a color or varnish. If you’re staining exterior wood, you should apply a sealant or finish to prevent weather-related issues down the line. Also, stained wood that lacks a seal won’t look as clean and fresh. A clear topcoat will give it the professional result you want.

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.

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.
