"This contractor was prompt to come and give us an estim.ate and showed up the next day to begin the work. Because the kitchen floor was so wet it was in danger of collapsing or having one of us go through, he came and began the work immediately. They repaired the water leak and tore up all the wet chipboard. They replaced all the wet floor with plywood Finally they installed my dishwasher and put down our new flooring. They definitely knew what was needed and did the work quickly, completely and bagged up all the trash and removed it for us. This was all done for a very reasonable cost. We will call them for any jobs that come up in the future,"
"Excellent painter, quick and detail oriented. I trust them in my home and my rental property. Has also done contractor work from kitchen, bathroom, roof, gutters, plumbing and electrical. You will be happy with his workmanship."
"Jobs (2 decks and remodeled bathroom walls) were done right without any re-work. Is extremely customer service focused, and very good about communicating back in forth - this is an important attribute to me given how many times I’ve been ghosted by other contractors. Is very, very cost competitive, and is honest about his schedule availability to get to your work - another great thing about Drew. He also replaced 13 windows for us and we experienced all of the above qualities from Drew. I will absolutely hire him again."
"We had this company to replace our front porch steps and had an additional job for them after this to install indoor closet organizers and fix a door for us and also painted our front porch with concrete paint. They are very professional and very knowledgeable and did an excellent job for us."

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.
Yes, it's a good idea to sand the wall with fine-grit sandpaper after spackling, especially if you plan on painting. You can do this by hand or using a sander, but the idea is to ensure the spackle is flush with the wall. Sanding will give your wall a smooth, uniform finish and help your paint and wallpaper stay put.
Many decking oils can help slow down algae growth, but they don't completely stop it. These oils work by sealing the wood, which reduces moisture and, therefore, algae growth. Some decking oils also help protect against UV damage, but they need to be reapplied according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the decking stays protected.
Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.
You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.
