What is the most cost-effective way to resurface a pool deck?

• <div><p>A concrete overlay is often the most cost-effective way to resurface a pool deck. To do this, you’ll need to pour a thin layer of concrete over the existing pool deck, which you can customize by stamping or painting. A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/stamped-concrete-adds-affordable-appeal-outdoor-patios.htm">stamped concrete</a> overlay provides additional traction on a pool deck that can help minimize the risk of people slipping and falling. </p></div>

Q: Can you put too much sealer on a deck?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Q: What are the pros and cons of staining a deck?

• <div><p>There are more <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-and-cons-of-staining-a-deck.htm">pros than cons when staining a deck</a>. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take to stain a deck?

• <div><p>Provided conditions are ideal, staining an entire deck should take as little as a couple of hours and up to a couple of days to apply and cure. Additional procedures, like sealing a deck or using additional treatments, may extend the project by a few additional days. </p></div>

Q: What not to do when staining a deck?

• <div><p>When staining a deck, don&rsquo;t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don&rsquo;t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don&rsquo;t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right. </p></div>

Clyde’s did a horrible job on my roof and gutters, did not complete the job, did not meet their contract, and have never called me back. They are also NOT BBB certified. I do not recommend any of their services. I signed a contract with Clyde’s on 6/9/2023 to have my gutters and roof replaced....

They showed up when they said they would and listened to my changes during the building of my decks. They gave an honest estimate and did the job correctly and right on budget

Great. Nuwood Works stained our cabin and deck a short time ago. Great quality work done in a timely manner. I just had them stain our recently completed utility building as well. I highly recommend them.

Tim and his team removed three trees from my backyard. I was amazed at how tidy they left the yard and my deck. I would use this company again, and recommend them.

Very nice guy. But job was not completed. Miscalculated the required materials needed to finish the job correctly. We were then told it would cost more to complete to our satisfaction. We offered to pay for more materials, but were told that labor would be even more. In the end our deck was...

Jerry is a very nice guy. He seems to really like what he does, but the quality of the work is where things go down hill. The job was supposed to take 4 to 5 days. He and his guys (both are son in-laws from what I recall) would show up on time but always be in a hurry to leave by 2 or 3pm....

WORST Inspection EVER!!! The guy literally told us (in front of the homeowners) that there were only three things that he found. A window in the garage (we'd likely never use) needed the spring fixed to ensure it stayed open, the hand rail on the deck was too big to consider "graspable", and the...
