Maria speaks deck staining

She can tell a back-rolling from a the 'spray and back-brush', knows what stripping vs brightening and EPA RRP (lead) mean, and doesn’t stall when a caller rattles off VOC-compliant or Penofin window (dry time). So the homeowner on the other end gets qualified, not fumbled — and while you’re on your knees staining boards, she’s booking jobs.
