"Diego gave helpful advice on a whole house painting(including tin roof and decking). He and his crew spent significant time pressure washing and preparing all surfaces for paint and stain. They came promptly as the weather permitted. He and his crew were meticulous and expert in their painting. They left no mess behind on any day of work. It was fun to see the progress and we feel like we have a new home and deck and are thrilled with it. It was a pleasure to work with Diego and his crew."

"Their work was not great. We were not home when they came and their "checkout" was asking my 14-year-old if it looked OK. When I called to tell them they missed some obvious spots I was told they would charge me to come back out."

"We Out Here did an excellent job of cleaning up wood and underbrush left where numerous trees had been removed in a heavily wooded area on our property...a big job! Mr. Walker and his wife Michelle are hard workers, and we are well pleased with the work they did for us. They are pleasant and positive folks. The price for their hard work was very reasonable. We will hire them again. Frank and Carolyn J"

"I watched them work as they replaced our roof and was very impressed by their care and workmanship. Rodas cleaned up at the end of each day, including nails. We were so happy with Rodas that we have asked them for options and estimates on our deck. Our neighbors were impressed, too. After seeing the roof and gutters come together so well, one family on our street already has called Rodas about replacing their roof."

"The process from start to finish was a painless as possible getting our whole house painted both inside and out. Cristiam and his team were professional and quick to answer any questions we had. We are very satisfied with the finished results and will definitely hire them again if any other painting projects come up."

"I hired M.A.S. Painting and Remodeling to paint my guest bedroom and repair a water-damaged wall, and I’m very pleased with the results. He was punctual, professional, and extremely neat—he left everything spotless. The work was done to a high standard, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him or hire him again in the future. Great job!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, you must thoroughly clean your deck before staining. If you don't, dirt, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped between the wood and the new stain. This not only looks unsightly but also prevents the stain from penetrating the wood properly, reducing its ability to protect the deck from weather and UV rays. As a result, the stain won't last as long or look as good. Any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning for the wood to dry completely before applying stain.

You can use latex or acrylic paint outdoors. Although acrylic paint tends to last longer outside, it also costs more, so if you’re painting the outside of your house, for instance, latex paint is often a go-to option. However, acrylic will be your best choice if you want to spend some extra money for added durability.

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.

Painting a damaged pool deck is not recommended if the substrate is crumbling, cracking, spalling, or otherwise actively deteriorating. Continuing deterioration will result in the paint also delaminating or flaking off the damaged surface. Minor damage such as chips or hairline cracks that are not actively deteriorating can often be repaired enough to paint over. A damaged pool deck with a lot of cracking and deterioration should be replaced for best results.

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.
