Karen MacLean possesses a shocking level of attention to detail. She is meticulous and methodical. I might even say she's anal-retentive, but when it comes to protecting our home, our pool and kitchen, and our plantings, that's a good thing. Other fence stainers spray willy-nilly and get the stain on everything, including our house (which is terrible because our house is white brick). Karen MacLean takes great pains to cover just about everything, and she switches from sprayers to rollers to brushes as needed to ensure stain goes where it needs to go and only there. She doesn't subcontract out to anyone and does all the work herself. This means it will take longer than a cheaper option that hires a bunch of anonymous workers to spray everywhere and drive away. But you do get what you pay for. In this case, we got a magnificent job on our fences, from cleaning to bleaching to stain layer one to stain layer two. Karen MacClean was nothing short of a miracle-worker who made our fences look brand new, and kept our home, property, and plantings absolutely clean. I will never trust our stain needs to anyone else.
Description of Work: Karen MacLean is a one-woman fence-staining operation providing highly personalized service. First, she measured our fences and determined the amount to be stained. She informed me of all the steps she would take. She cleaned our fences and bleached them prior to staining. She covered our plants and shrubs with tarps to avoid getting stain on them. She also covered our pool and outdoor kitchen. She applied two layers of a deep, rich stain color to our fences and made them look new again.

They are just very solid. The guys seemed to know what they were doing and finished very quickly. They did a really good job and the fence looks awesome. Their prices are good and worth it because it protects the fence real well. I would highly recommend those guys.
Description of Work: They stained my fence. The fence encloses my 138 square foot backyard. The project took under a day and there was no prep work since the fence was new.
