"They did it again, fabulous work at a fair price. Sometimes I am shocked at how reasonable the rates are. We are more than satisfied with their professionalism. I request Cody if he is available, but others have the craftsmanship too. This time we needed help with sheetrock repairs, both are from the surrounding area. One was the bathroom ceiling with a weird texture from the 80â  s, he matched it perfectly; the other was a large patch in laundry room. Years ago I tried other people who never even showed up, that drove me nuts. I only call a Splash of Color now. I am more than satisfied."

"Lost faith in them. Workers came about 0800 and were out the door by 1130 everyday. I think they could have done a better job but were unsupervised and did not want to. Painted kitchen cabinets and I was told they would be taken to the shop and sprayed with primer and 2 coats. These guys said no and painted them with a brush while still hanging. Missed a lot of the cabinet face and left me with brush strokes and runs. Still waiting on that primer coat!. Blamed me saying I wanted them painted without removing cabinet doors and the paint on the trim in bedroom was already there. Lived here 10 years and this was the first wall repaint in that room. Repainted trim though and this was not there before they painted. Took faceplates off but painted the switches. When asked about touch-ups, they used a brush after the wall had been rolled. Dave tried to smooth it over and said he changed rules of authority with his contracted help. Does not help me. Very disappointed in this job."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.

While the answer varies based on weather, 10 a.m. is a good time to start painting. The dew will have dried, meaning there’s no moisture on the house, and the temperature will likely be moderate and the sunlight less direct. Starting mid-morning should also give you enough daylight and pleasant weather to work on the job for several hours.

Depending on factors such as weather, use, substrate condition, and type of paint used, pool deck paint should last anywhere from 1 to 5 years. Keeping the paint clean and resealing every year or two can help extend the life of the paint. Proper preparation before painting also plays a large role in how long the paint lasts on a pool deck. Paint will likely not last as long on a pool deck in poor condition before painting.

Beyond liquid rubber, homeowners can use sealants, stains, membranes, or tapes as waterproofing options. Oil-based or water-based sealants soak into the wood, creating a moisture-resistant barrier. Waterproofing stains—available in transparent, semi-transparent, and solid colors—add both protection and style to your deck. For heavy-duty waterproofing, deck membranes and waterproof tapes can be applied under the deck boards to direct water away from the structure below. Whatever method you choose, clean and prep the deck first to ensure the best, longest-lasting results.

You don’t necessarily have to remove all the old paint before repainting your deck, but it’s best to remove as much as possible to ensure a smooth and long-lasting finish. Prioritize scraping off loose, peeling, or flaking paint, and sand down rough areas to create a smooth surface for the new paint to bond with.
