"We interviewed Jerey Anderson in our existing home regarding a large Trex deck that needed to be replaced at our newly purchased home. Since my wife and I were moving from a three level home to a single level home due to our handicapped needs from disability, we were very concerned about using a skilled, knowledgeable and professional contractor who would listen to our needs and concerns with modifying this project to meet our specific and customized needs. Large scale custom projects like this can be extremely scarey and worrisome to launch, especially when you have had projects in the past that have left us hanging high and dry with work that was not completed. But during the interview process, Jeremy spoke to us in a very knowledgeable manner that helped us dream with him, the exact modifications we requested. You get a read on professional people sometimes that could leave you unsure about if they would be a good fit for the dreams you plan for and need. His mannerisms, attentive listening skills and reassuring ability to explain how to complete the work in a way that took away our concerns, addressed all our questions and arrived at a very affordable price just gave us a feeling that his family run business felt like a loving father that you would go to for extremely wise and experienced advice for a very complex , scar.scarey y and concerning project. As the project unfolded, we were updated frequently with texts, consulted by phone, and sent photos of the progress. We were never unwelcome to show up at a moments notice to view the work, talk to the crew, or review the progress of out dream turning into a reality. Not only was the work being completed per his detailed contract that clearly explained the work to be done, but his attention to detail exceeded oue expectations. Even his crew worked in a very protective and respectful way that kept the work site safe, highly organized and unexpectedly clean. We would recommend Jeremy Anderson and his crew to anyone in a heartbeat. In fact, we give permission to Jeremy t to share photos of the completed work and to have you contact us regarding our experience through this process."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

It’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’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.

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths

The best type of paint for concrete exterior surfaces like concrete porches, steps, or walkways is high-quality exterior-grade paint with strong weather resistance. Acrylic latex blends with tiny anti-slip particles will help create an anti-slip coating for your concrete porch. This type of paint will stand up best to the elements, especially rain, snow, and ice. An exterior epoxy will also help strengthen your concrete porch.

Whether to paint or stain a deck depends on your personal preference for appearance and budget. Stain provides a natural look with a range of undertones, is typically less expensive, and may only require one coat, but it does not last as long as paint. Paint offers a sleeker finish with a virtually unlimited color palette. Both options will protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear.
