Get matched with top deck staining pros in Cotopaxi, CO

Q: How long do exterior paint fumes last?

• <div><p>Exterior paints contain more volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, making them dangerous when used indoors. Without the free ventilation of the great outdoors, it can take longer for the fumes to dissipate than interior paint. While you may notice the smell lessening more quickly, you should be wary of paint fumes inside for 48 to 72 hours after it dries.</p></div>

Q: How quickly can staining rags combust?

• <div><p>Here's the deal with leaving used rags covered in oil-based stain lying around in a pile: Depending on the conditions, these rags can take just an hour or up to a few days to combust. The source of ignition is caused by trapped heat that can be compounded if the rags are near a heat source. </p></div>

Q: What paint will stick to composite decking?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s best to use an exterior latex acrylic paint to promote maximum adhesion to composite decking. This flexible paint type can better cope with the natural expansion and contraction that can occur with composite deck boards. Oil-based paints won&rsquo;t adhere as effectively and are more likely to crack and peel as the boards flex. Testing whether your chosen paint will stick on an inconspicuous section or a spare board is a good idea.</p></div>

Q: How do you take care of painted decking?

• <div><p>Painted decks typically require a new coat about once every ten years. In between new coats, it's best to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/10-tips-keeping-your-wooden-deck-looking-new.htm">maintain your deck</a> by regularly removing debris, washing it down with non-abrasive cleaners, and staying ahead of structural issues, such as loose boards and rotting wood. In some cases, painting a small section of your deck affected by damage or the sun can lower your costs and workload.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to spray or roll deck sealer?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s often best to spray on deck sealer. Sprayers can apply sealant more quickly and evenly than rolling while still enabling you to reach tight spaces. When using a sprayer, always use a low-pressure setting at a close distance to ensure an even application. Avoid using sprayers on windy days. </p></div>

We were pleased with the stucco job, except the contractor did not pass on to the stucco crew that a certain area of the stucco needed to stay the same (or close to the same) color as the house. It was almost $4,000 for the small wall and accent areas to be done. That seemed excessive, but I...

"During the removal of our old carpeting we discovered that an old termite infestation had done quite a bit of damage to our dining room area. Contollo Field services repaired the damage and even leveled the area where the dining room had been added on to our house back in the late 50's. The crew went on to install our beautiful LVP flooring. We had to negotiate some of the details of our contract, but overall the install went well in spite of the pesky termites."
