"I had called 8 other companies and they wanted to do unnecessary work at extremely high prices. We were referred b another company on Angie’s List, who explained we really needed a waterproof coating. I then Spoke to the owner of Fiber Coat Deck Company, and he immediately knew what we needed to stop the leak and prevent it from recurring with a special fiberglass coating used by his company. He even gave a warranty when other companies weren’t even sure that their high priced work wood fix the problem. They were amazing and even sealed around areas the HOW had moved that contributed to the leakage. They put on very professional drain covers and corrected the tilt so the water would actually drain like they should. There has been no leak since. They only took 2 days and the work is excellent quality and looks amazing. The cost was between 1/2 and 1/4th of what other companies put in their bids and they could not guarantee their work. They were honest, professional, competent, on time and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend the services of Fiber-Coat Deck Company."

Incredibly detailed interior and exterior painting for a competitive price. Palafox Drywall & Painting was founded in 1998 by Ruben Palafox and since then we have seen prodigious growth in overall customer satisfaction. We are driven by each positive experience and will do what many will not to ensure satisfaction.

"Joel and his team did a great job painting the entire interior of our home, including the ceiling along with some drywall repairs. Detail-oriented with good communication throughout the process. Fair pricing and adherence to a standard weekday work schedule made planning easy. Focus on quality over speed with a small team meant a few more days but ended with a great paint job that we were very happy with."

There is nothing like a reliable, all-purpose handyman. We pride ourselves on our reliability and superior customer service. From being your residential drywall contractor to providing you expert house painting service, you can rely on us to provide you with high-quality workmanship that will last. Or maybe you need a quick-fix drywall repair. Whatever the case may be, we lend a helping hand to any project you require.

"WARNING: We recently got new kitchen cabinets, countertops & backsplash installed. Hired Jason to paint our kitchen walls, patch & paint ceiling, paint the area that flows into the eating area & family rm. He was supposed to paint the baseboards in the kitchen, the crown molding didn’t need to be painted. We also wanted him to paint the outdoor 2nd story shutters. The 1st day he had most of the stuff covered & taped off pretty well. There were several planned days before he was coming back for the 2nd day. We had stressed to him numerous times to make sure everything is covered & protected in the kitchen, he got small paint drips splatter on our new cabinets and quartz countertops. He had spilled paint on our floor & didn’t get it all cleaned up. He didn’t tape off the edges of plantation shutters & got paint along all the sides & splatter speaks on them. I had to loan him a smaller slanted edge paint brush to cut into the edge of the trim b/c he only had a huge fat brush. He used my kitchen sponge without asking me to scrub the paint off the trim of the shutters. He still didn’t get all the paint off. He had opened paint cans on our quarts countertop & on the floor w/o anything protecting those surfaces, until I said something to him. He went upstairs & used our wash machine to wash some of his clothes b/c he said he has spelt paint on them when my husband confronted him about using our wash machine w/o asking us. I had to buy additional paint for our crown molding b/c he didn’t tape it off & got paint on it. He didn’t bring his own tall ladder for the 2nd story shutters, so he took our 8 ft. ladder to use, but my husband told him not to use it b/c it isn’t tall enough to get on roof. Despite that, after the ladder was put back into garage he got it out again & used to get onto the roof & broke a couple tiles pushing himself up. He had to stop painting b/c it started to rain. Before his 3rd day coming out, I reminded him to bring his 10 ft ladder, which he did. We were wondering why he kept going in & out of the door to the garage, he said, he was taking paint cans into there, but he also had used my paint container & a new liner that were in my paint cabinet w/o asking, to paint the outdoor shutters. We didn’t even have him paint the baseboards in the kitchen b/c the stress of him getting paint on surfaces that weren’t meant to be painted was becoming so stressful, that my husband just paid him to go. I still have to paint the baseboards & paint an area of the molding on top of our cabinets b/c he pulled the corner apart when he was using it to leverage himself further back. He fixed the corner, though it still needs paint. This entire experience was so stressful & I don’t want anyone else to have to go through the same thing we went through."

Small projects paintings or stainings FAQs

It's best to stain your new fence after the wood has fully dried, which usually takes about six to eight weeks after installation. Waiting ensures the stain adheres properly, giving your fence lasting protection. Staining a fence usually takes three to five days. You'll start by cleaning the wood and letting it dry for at least 24 hours. After applying the stain, you'll need to wait 12 to 24 hours for each coat to dry.

Paint lasts longer than stain—about five to 10 years compared to stain's one to eight years. Painting requires more prep work and multiple coats, but offers a durable, long-lasting finish. Staining is less labor-intensive and allows the wood's natural beauty to show, but may need more frequent reapplication. Consider your maintenance preferences and desired look when choosing between the two.

Yes, you should stain both sides of your fence. Staining both sides provides complete protection from weather, moisture, and pests, extending your fence's lifespan and keeping it looking good. If your fence borders a neighbor’s property, communicate with them about splitting the cost of staining both sides of the fence or work out an agreement that satisfies both parties.
