I hired EJ to replace a few fence pickets, wash the fence, and stain it. From the very beginning, he was thorough, responsive, and easy to communicate with. He answered all of my questions honestly, which helped clear up any confusion I had throughout the process.
EJ is dedicated to his craft, and that dedication was evident in the quality of his work. I’m extremely happy with the results, and he will be my go-to fence professional for any future fence projects.
Had a great experience with EJ at The Local Dad. He was thorough, thoughtful and helpful at every step of the way. He helped give our sad, dreary fence new life with some reconstruction and stain all at a really affordable price. I would recommend The Local Dad for any project and will surely use them again in the future.

From the beginning, the local dad was professional, responsive, and communicative. He took care of the job right away and accommodated around the weather as well to stain and seal my fence. The job was completed quickly and my fence looks outstanding. I will be reaching back out for other projects.

We loved working with Local Dad for our recent pressure washing and fence staining project! He gave us a competitive price, was thorough in explaining what we needed to do to get the staining job done right for the fence, reviewed colors and gave us recommendations, and did a great job on the fence- it really looks like new! Looking forward to using him again when we move to our new house!

I recently hired EJ for several exterior home improvement tasks, including cleaning and staining my fence, polishing the front door, and pressure washing the driveway. Overall, I’m very pleased with the results.
The fence looks refreshed and evenly stained, giving it a much cleaner and more polished appearance. The front door truly stands out now—it has a rich, polished finish that adds great curb appeal. The driveway was also thoroughly pressure washed, removing built-up dirt and grime and making a noticeable difference.
The work was completed efficiently, and the attention to detail was clear throughout. Pricing was reasonable and offered solid value for the quality of service provided.
I would definitely recommend EJ to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality exterior home maintenance work.
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing is different from residential to commercial. Price depends on the size of the project. I typically work with anyone on pricing and am very straight up with the price. If something happens that takes me longer to do the job, the price stays the same!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to understand every detail of the job from the customer up front so that there is no miscommunication. Customer service is key for me and I don't want the customer to have any unwanted surprises like change in price when it's all said and done!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been pressure washing various homes for about 10 years now and figured it would be a great time to start putting it out there!
