"We had Precision Painting stain the exterior cedar on our home and paint exterior doors. We were very happy with his work. We're going to have him do some interior painting this winter."

"You canâ t not like Tony! He was the first to respond to my HA request. His company is â newâ in TC, he had no reviews for us to read, but some quality in his phone voice said to hear his story. He came the next day, checked out the requirements, explained his process, and gave me a quote. He was not the low ball but he wanted the work and asked for it. He came today while we were not home to do the work. The only way I knew he was here was that the house really looked great. All the algae, leaf and gutter stains were gone and the siding is absolutely smooth and clean. Sometimes itâ s a good idea to give the new kid a chance. We are glad we did. Nice job, Tony! Thanks."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

There’s no single paint that’s the most waterproof. Instead, there are several types of waterproof and water-resistant paints that suit different purposes. Epoxy paint, for instance, is commonly used to provide a waterproof coating to floors and decks. Masonry paint is an excellent choice for exterior walls. Meanwhile, there are waterproof acrylic paints that can be used for interior and exterior walls. It’s more about choosing the best type for what you’re painting instead of the most waterproof paint overall.

The need for a topcoat on a painted deck depends on various factors, primarily the type of paint used and your desired level of protection. Many premium deck paint formulations are self-sealing, eliminating the necessity for an additional topcoat. These paints often have built-in additives that substantially protect against moisture, UV rays, and everyday wear and tear.

You don't need to seal your deck after painting it because most exterior paints are waterproof and weather-resistant. While stealing is not necessary, it can add an additional layer of protection.

If your biggest concern is making sure your deck doesn’t show dirt, opt for a darker neutral color that blends in well with your surrounding landscape. A rich brown or dark grey are both good options that work with a variety of house colors. A high-quality acrylic paint is easy to clean and maintain, so it might be worth spending the money on.

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.
