"Our house needed a new roof. I contacted American Custom Contractors, and am so happy I did. I was impressed from the beginning. David gave us an accurate and honest assessment of the job, provided information about materials, answered our questions, and helped walk us through all the insurance steps. Amanda helped us manage the paperwork for our project and again was alway open to answer our questions. When it was time for work to start, our project manager, Tim, really personalized our experience and authentically worked to make our experience good and our house beautiful. He helped us with the numerous issues that always come up with such a project, and made this process painless--making us feel like we were ACC's only customer. Edwin and his roofing crew were amazing! They quickly and efficiently replaced our old roof with a beautiful new roof. The attention to detail and craftsmanship ACC and their staff brought to our project were impressive, and I couldn't be happier with the result. I HIGHLY recommend American Custom Contractors! They are awesome! Thank you American Custom Contractors for making our family's home more beautiful!"

"The jobs took a few days in total. We had them do 2 phases to our project. They were pretty much on time and did exactly what we wanted. Shannon was very professional and helpful. We will probably be using them to do the rest of our front area in the spring. I would recommend them to anyone. <br />"

"I called them with an usual situation. Our family pet, a hamster, escaped and got into the central air ducts and passed away.  We were very sad as it was, so trying to figure out how to deal with the remains made a bad situation worse.  We called several air duct cleaners and they wanted nothing to do with it, and a different pest company said they wouldn't help us either.  I was really surprised and bummed that no one could/would give us advice. I finally called APM and the receptionist said she'd have one of the specialists call me back.  He did, and talked to me for a good 20 minutes, advising me about the different options I had and their pros and cons, and telling me about similar personal experiences he had and how he dealt with it.  Rather than taking advantage of my vulnerability, he instead offered compassionate expertise about what I might do.  We ultimately decided to do nothing, and let the odor pass, which only took a couple weeks.  Without his insight, we may have been ripping the walls and vents apart, which would have been a nightmare.  I wanted to write a good review for them because I really appreciated the time they spent to help me, for no monetary gain.  I will definitely call them whenever we have a pest problem in the future.  <br />"

"Mark did a great job painting my rental house.  Made great suggestions for color, got the work done quickly. and did not leave a mess. He was also very mindful of not letting the  dogs get loose.  I contacted several painters. Most did not call back or if the did, never gave the estimate.  Mark was very good with communication.  Phone, text, email.    <br /> <br />"

FAQs for deck, fence, patio or porch clean and seal projects in Oakland, MD

You should clean your deck before sealing it. Cleaning before refinishing is critical. If you don’t remove dirt and debris, you'll trap moisture in the wood, which prevents the new sealer from working correctly and can lead to costly repairs. Whether you need to sand, power wash, or sandblast depends on your deck's condition.

Sealing and staining your deck are essential maintenance methods that protect and beautify your outdoor space. Stain adds rich color and guards against fading, while sealant fortifies the wood against moisture and weather damage. Wood type, climate, deck age, and the degree of existing damage determine whether your deck benefits from one or both treatments. Using both options extends your deck’s durability and enhances its overall appearance.

Power washing and sealing your deck costs $500 to $1,700. This process combines the removal of stubborn dirt and debris with a protective seal that preserves the wood’s integrity. Effective cleaning eliminates harmful buildup, and a proper seal prevents moisture damage and wood decay, ensuring long-term durability and reducing future repair expenses.

Your deck must be sealed every one to three years to maintain its strength and appearance. Regular sealing is essential to protect the wood against moisture, mold, and harmful UV rays. A consistent sealing schedule prevents rapid deterioration and costly repairs. Inspections should be performed annually to determine if the protective layer remains intact, extending the life of your deck.

Leaving your deck untreated compromises its structural integrity and safety. An unprotected deck rots quickly due to moisture and environmental exposure, which means that neglecting sealing results in rapid decay and expensive replacement costs of $4,125 to $11,650. Sealing your deck is essential for maintaining its durability and protecting your home.

The sealant on your deck dries within a few hours and reaches full cure within 72 hours before regular use. It is essential to wait until the complete curing period to ensure the protective layer fully sets and resists weather and foot traffic. Proper drying guarantees that your deck is fully protected against moisture and environmental damage, ensuring lasting quality.
