"It went very well. Angel Torres was easy to work with and responded quickly to my initial phone call. All of the work was completed in a timely manner, and he took great care in both prepping the door, and in the clean-up afterwards. The garage door looks super - way better than I ever thought possible (circa 1958). The price was reasonable too. He was also very helpful in advising me as to how to go about updating/re-painting the outside of the rest of my house. So, I am looking forward to Spring 2021 when he will be painting my entire house (aluminum siding, trim, awnings, re-glazing windows, etc.). Thank you again, Mr. Torres."

"The process was pretty seamless and straightforward. The only issue was that the only person we could verbally communicate with was the site leader who did not stay onsite. The painters themselves did not speak English and communicating as a mime was not very efficient....Overall the job was done and done well. Would still consider them again."

"Very professional. They went above and beyond. Cleanup was great. The job was a lot of work and the three color combo looks fantastic. Hire them, ask for some business cards and keep one in your wallet should the occasion arise to promote their business."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Choose based on climate, finish preference (glossy, matte), and durability. Tailored coatings also provide longevity.

Adding a second coat of stain to wood can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.

It’s best to use an exterior latex acrylic paint to promote maximum adhesion to composite decking. This flexible paint type can better cope with the natural expansion and contraction that can occur with composite deck boards. Oil-based paints won’t adhere as effectively and are more likely to crack and peel as the boards flex. Testing whether your chosen paint will stick on an inconspicuous section or a spare board is a good idea.

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.

While the answer varies based on weather, 10 a.m. is a good time to start painting. The dew will have dried, meaning there’s no moisture on the house, and the temperature will likely be moderate and the sunlight less direct. Starting mid-morning should also give you enough daylight and pleasant weather to work on the job for several hours.
