Cleaner Decks

I hired the owner to power wash and stain my deck ager researching other options. The following reasons are why I say… RUN. do not walk away from using him for deck work unless he changes his practice:
1. Stain used was not what was quoted
2. He hired a day laborer (his words)…this person was clueless on how to stain a deck or just didn’t care. very sloppy (owner agreed)
3. Hired to have the job done within a certain time frame and it took MUCH longer
4. Had to call/​text him back for poor quality of work performed
5. Not all of deck properly covered with the stain and some ares where it was applied so thick it is «raised».
6. Stain on light fixtures on deck… asked several times for him to clean it up… once he got paid he disappeared
7. Stain on side of house that was pointed out to him that he never had cleaned
He can talk a good game and comes across as a nice person but be careful if you choose to go with his company… get EVERYTHING in writing and be there when the job is being done to keep from corners being cut.
