"Amazing service. Jason was here the next morning and worked on the shower drain that was filled with grout from a tile contractor. Hired a local plumber to clear the drain and all they did was pierce the p trap in 2 places. Jason took over jetted the grout out, then sent the camera and noticed the 2 holes. Didn't leave me hanging over the holidays with family arriving in 2 days. Came back the next morning and dug his way under the home to replace the p trap. Saved me from cutting up all my new interior shower flooring. Highly recommended. Thank you Chloe and Jason."

"I hired Chuck to help restore and paint my 110 year old home. This house was no small project as it is four stories high, includes 3 dormers, and had an ugly peeling paint job all over. Not only that but I wasn't sure what colors I wanted to use. I was very lucky to get Chuck and his crew. I've dealt with several contractors who do okay work but I could tell Chuck had a passion for helping me restore my home. He gave me several suggestions out of the Benjamin Moore catalogue of historical colors where I found a set I really liked. He had about a 4wk lead time until he was ready to start my home and during this he gave all sorts of tips on how to do some work myself and even bought me the supplies (Duramax paint, rollers, buckets, 5 in 1 tool) his crew would use so I could do some DIY. This helped me immensely and I got a good bit of work done. He showed up when he said he would begin the job and he and his crew worked tirelessly for nine days straight. This included a lot of scraping and prep work, some wood repair for damaged clapboards, painting my gutters and down spouts, and extensive caulking of the siding and around every window (20+ widows on the house). They put 50+ tubes of caulk into my home to seal it and they had to rent a lift to reach the dormers and top of the house. There were times when those guys worked 8am to 8pm. These guys spent a lot of time on the prep to get the surface right and a lot of time around each window to seal it properly. The end result was beautiful restored home. Chuck did extras for me as well including fixing my antique front door, added a new front and rear porch light that looked historical to match the house, reattached a fallen gutter, and added a long horizontal board along the bottom which not only protected some of the weaker clapboard but also was a good aesthetic choice. More over my house has a lot of trim and Chuck had the idea to paint some trim the body color so there were less lines overall and it really looks amazing. The bottom line is Chuck has been doing this for a long time and has a lot of experience and it really shows. His crew was solid and worked very hard. They didn't just do the minimum but added some nice details and extras and having someone that cares about their work goes a long way. They cleaned up nice and we had no disputes about labor or payment. I would personally rehire them for additional work and would also highly recommend them for future jobs."

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

Staining pressure-treated wood is a recommended practice. While inherently resilient, it's not impervious to moisture and UV exposure. Staining treated wood is feasible and recommended for enhanced protection and longevity. Applying stain and sealant safeguards against degradation, prolonging its life span. These measures shield the wood from environmental threats while augmenting its aesthetic appeal, ensuring your investment endures the test of time.

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.

If it rains after you paint your fence, you may need to apply another coat of paint after the fence thoroughly dries. This will ensure a good seal if the rain weakened any areas of the paint. However, if your paint had enough time to dry thoroughly before it rained, you should have no problem.

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

You shouldn't paint a metal fence. Painting doesn't necessarily damage a corrugated metal fence, but these types of fences are meant to flex, and paint can easily chip and break off. Latex paints can address this issue, but those tend not to be very weather-resistant. Certain paints can trap moisture in the corrugation, which can rust the metal and lead to corrosion. And finally, if you paint a copper fence, it won't patina, which is one of the main reasons people buy copper.
