"The mountains will certainly test the durability of outdoor paint and stain. Our deck, front porch and garage doors were in desperate need of attention, and thanks to Roger, everything has been restored to its original brilliance. His experience and uncompromising standards ensured a perfect outcome, and for that we are extremely grateful. We would not hesitate to recommend Sterling to anyone requiring any of the range of services they offer. Roger and Sandy are both totally reliable and they are a delight to work with."

"Please thank Roger for his beautiful work. We were absolutely thrilled with his efforts to make our home beautiful outside, and have nothing but wonderful things to say about him and his dedication to turn our sow's ear into a silk purse."

"Roger did an outstanding job cleaning, caulking and re-coating our home. We had a serious mold and mildew problem which he handled. After cleaning, we realized that the old paint had worn off or had been patched with a variety of different materials. After consultation with Roger, we decided to have him apply Sherwin-Williams Duration (an acrylic latex with extreme anti-mold properties and an exceptionally long life). Roger thoroughly caulked and sealed the house and then applied two heavy coats of Duration. The results are outstanding. This house looks like new construction. I highly recommend Roger to anyone looking for competent, thorough, and professional work. With Roger, you truly get what you pay for."

The owners had been referred to Roger by a colleague who knew that he could help them. Read more...
