Well, not much difference from what everyone else was saying had him come in 2022 and he was fine and did a good job (Ok, that is different from any of the other reciews but it caught up to me).. called again this year and he came out and gave a quote I felt was high but I agreed to it as I had a decent experience in 2022. Told me to let him k ow when I was ready and give him a weeks notice (I had to replace some of the 6x6 wood on my large deck boxes). Texted and called and it tool a week for him to get back. When he did he came with the colour we picked and sanded and did 1st coat. We messed up on the colour so told him we would pick a new one and let him know when we had that done and had stain at our place. Came back when I was at work. I said I wanted 2 coats of that colour and I would pay him for any additional labor over and above our initial agreement to do that. When I got home he was gone. He dis 1 "thicker coat", and my wife paid him. Mistake! No return of texts for a week
