"Hereâ s a polished review based on your input: I cannot recommend Daniel highly enough! He is incredibly trustworthy, reliable, honest, kind, and respectfulâ qualities that are rare to find in a contractor these days. Over the course of several projects, Daniel has consistently exceeded my expectations. He installed cameras around my house, painted walls, shoveled snow, and tackled other tasks with exceptional skill and attention to detail. One of the most reassuring aspects of working with Daniel was knowing I could trust him completely. When my house was vacant for an extended period, he checked on it regularly, giving me much-needed peace of mind. Itâ s clear he takes pride in his work and genuinely cares about his clients, never cutting corners or trying to make a quick buck. If youâ re looking for a handyman who delivers high-quality work with integrity, Daniel is your guy."

"The end product looks good, just good not great or fantastic only good. James from the beginning was combative argumentative and dismissive, the person he hired to do most of the work was unprofessional and largely incompetent. The drain to my bathtub had corroded and broken completely off, repair of the tub would have required opening the wall and removing the tub. I had decided because of the work it involved it would make sense to remodel the entire bathroom. This job needed to be done quickly because of the lack of a working shower or bath in the house, I appreciate that James was able to squeeze us into his schedule but would have preferred that he’d had passed if he wasn’t able to focus sufficiently on the project. From the beginning I had to fight to get the provisions I wanted added to the contract (replacing the lighting, mirror, medicine cabinet, ventilation van and power outlet, all stuff that I would considered part of a bathroom remodeled, had to be added in a revision of the initial quote with an added charge added for the work). I also had to fight to make sure the contracted work was done. The trim around the bathroom window and door were not replaced as the contract stipulated. During the planning of the project I tried to reach out to coordinate to ensure the fixtures I purchased were appropriate and would work well, I was told to get what I wanted and he would make it work (I do believe he may have mentioned getting quality but didn’t offer more specifics than that). When I reached out to complain about the work I was told I shouldn’t have bought cheep Chinese made crap (I did research the materials before buying but lacked the expertise to make a determination on quality, which is why I hired a professional and sought advice). After complaining that some of the work quality was sub par and the work was taking too long I was accused of trying not to pay. The individual who did the work to my house was very unprofessional showing up well after 10am everyday and leaving normally by 4 (less than 6 hours of work a day) there were days he didn’t show up until after noon. The work space, and my house was a total mess during the whole time the work was on going leaving tools and pieces all over the house. There were several large mistakes made that aggravated me and caused the work to be delayed. The plumbing in the basement was of particular concern to me as it is leaking and is shoddily done, I am having another professional come in to repair that work. In the end the bathroom looks good, but it took too long and was not professionally done. I will not use him again and would not recommend him to anyone."

"Lleshi Painting has truly raised the property value of my home by his attention to detail, focus and commitment to doing the job right. He literally changed my home from night to day. I had some hideous yellow walls with very ROUGH texture throughout the home. He went above and beyond to the point that the home looks brand new and not from the 70s. He listened to my concerns and requests for a Contemporary/Modern look and delivered as promised beyond my expectations! Dede is an honest man who gave me a fair price, was easy to work with, and finished the job on time. Thank you!"

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.
