"I am very pleased with A Roof Above The Rest. I have been trying to get estimates since January. Joe (owner) was the only one out of 6 that gave me an estimate on the spot. The other 5 were very difficult to reach, and only 2 of them actually got an estimate back to me. Joe came out on a Saturday (called before coming with an hour heads up) listened to me and was by far the most reasonably priced. He was 1/2 the price of one of the other contractors. I told him I would hire him. His 4 man crew got to work, and was done in 2 hrs! They were very polite, and cleaned up all debris. I was so satisfied that I signed a contract for deck work, and will do another contract to complete my other outside work. Joe was very upfront about the tasks and what needed done where the others price gouged and were trying to nickel and dime me. Call them for all your outside repair needs! They do roofing, siding, painting, decking, gutters, pressure washing, the list goes on!"

"James was super nice and came out for afree estimate. I needed a new roof as part of selling my home and he was very helpful working with me and my realtor. The work area was cleaned up and the roofers were very friendly. The roof looks great. Wouldn't use any other company!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.

It’s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that’s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat. 

Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint. 

You can refresh a painted deck by either giving it a thorough cleaning or refinishing the deck altogether. Chipped or faded paint, as well as extensive damage, often calls for a new finish. To do this, remove the original coat of paint with a sander and add either a new coat of paint or a stain to protect the wood below.

Routine cleaning, sealing/staining, and inspection prolong deck life and appearance.
