"I had them put gutters on garage, build a dry creek bed for drainage, and apply an epoxy coating on garage floor. The gutters leak at the seams, the creek bed does not have enough slope for it to drain, there is water seeping into the garage, which had been dry since we moved here in 1989, there is sand (from the epoxy), covering the driveway and everything in the garage. I informed the owner, but only got denials. The last communication was a threat to sue me for defamation if I left a bad,,ie honest, review."

Independent painting is a dream brought to life. Years of building experience to finally be able to show the world what I have to offer. My experience is not limited. I am always open to learning more as I grow my business and I always do my best to keep morale up to maintain a work environment that anyone could appreciate. One unique thing that sets me apart from the rest is my mix of height and coordination allows for me to go above and beyond to get to the hard to reach spots in a safe manner. My work includes both interior and exteriors, caulking, texturing, window glazing, cutting/rolling walls, spraying ceilings, painting/staining trim, cabinets, and doors, as well as any furniture, decor, etc. I find most painting work to be very gratifying to get to do and I'm also not afraid of a good challenge and the sense of accomplishment that goes with getting the job done, no matter the difficulty level of the task at hand.
"Austin was very nice and easy to work with. He gave us an estimate and time when he would be done with all the painting and he came through on both! His work was good and I would hire him again! Thanks Austin!"

Sustainable or “green building” design and construction is the opportunity to use our resources more efficiently while creating healthier and more energy-efficient homes. Although there is no magic formula, success comes in the form a leaving a lighter footprint on the environment through conservation of resources, while at the same time balancing energy-efficient, cost-effective, low-maintenance products for our construction needs. Recycling is key to our success in helping re-use building material in a fashion such as recycling asphalt shingles into asphalt roads. 20 sq of shingles can contribute to approx 1000ft of new highway. We have teams currently serving the Eastern Iowa area and expanding contact use for more information.

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.
