Some time ago my wife and I were looking for someone to stain our new deck. I had woked my tail off on it and wanted it to look great! I asked around friends and family and nobody could come up with somebody to refer me to. I looked in a local paper and answered an ad "Great painting, great rates."

Me of course being raised very conservative "cheap" my friends would say, wanted a great deal. I remember my dad teaching me to be frugal, not wasteful! I still contend I'm frugal. Nonetheless my painter showed up and did the job. My wife had picked out a wonderful color; a very light shade of grey that would accent our home to a tee. It was a perfect weekend as we left for her folks place and enjoyed the weekend on Lake O'brien. I had finished the deck and we would leave it to the painter to put on the finishing touches.

Arriving at home late in the afternoon on Sunday, we noticed the neighbors in the yard hangin' out laughing uncontrollably. We thought nothing of it as we had a great neighborhood full of kids and laughter! We were excited to see our new deck. We turned the corner and looked in horror as our new deck was the most hideous color of "battleship gray" we had ever seen!

We of course called the painter and after several arguments, he repainted the deck with the color we originally picked. We were finally happy, but it took several weeks and conversations to get there! This was a life lesson we would never forget. Get a referral, and do not hire the "cheap guy!"
