Q: Will regular maintenance stop decks from warping?

• <div><p>Constant exposure to inclement weather conditions can damage your deck, causing it to fade, warp, or crack over time. Regular maintenance keeps it looking and performing its best. That means giving it a good cleaning and applying a quality sealant or wood treatment to help defend against moisture, sun damage, and everyday wear.</p></div>

Q: How long does exterior paint need to dry before it rains?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that&rsquo;s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat. </p></div>

Q: Is it OK to pressure wash a deck before staining?

• <div><p>Yes, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-power-wash-deck.htm">pressure washing your deck</a> before staining is a great idea because it clears the wood from any dirt, dust, and debris that could get in the way of solid stain coverage. Washing makes it easier to stain your deck and helps the stain grip the wood so it lasts longer. Pressure washers are faster and easier on your body than scrubbing your deck by hand. </p></div>

Q: What is the most durable pool deck coating?

• <div><p>You have a couple of options when choosing a durable pool deck coating. Epoxy is common and offers excellent stain and water resistance. Epoxy also withstands high temperatures and UV lighting, making it ideal for sunny spots. You can also add a coating to cement, which significantly lowers the temperature of the concrete, is environmentally safe, and makes cleanup a breeze.</p></div>

"We requested some landscape work to be redone. Said in our original request back on April 23rd that we would like it done in the next 2 weeks. This person was to start on may 5th. We received a message saying he was not going to be able to start until May 12th. His attendance was spotty at best and very inconsistent. Working only between 4-6 hours when he did show up. Would work 2 hours be gone for 4 then back for an 1.5 hrs. Very inconsistent. This has gone on for the past 3 weeks. He contracted with us for 64 hours, at the rate we are going it will be the end of June before he finishes. We have tried talking with him a couple of different times regarding these issues, with no result. He left our garage door open when we left him working one Friday morning, told him we were heading out of town for a graduation, to just close the door when he was done working. My daughter drove by at noon and found our door open, he was nowhere to be found so she closed it. There was never any communication unless we were the ones to initiate it. Asked him several times for an agenda, as to when and for how long we could expect him on any given day. He rarely followed through on what he told us. It felt as if our job was not the priority. That he would fit us in here and there for an hour or two. The quality of his work was good, however, his communication, consistency, the lack of ability to get the job done in a timely fashion (the two week period that was requested in the initial request) his attitude, demeanor and disrespectful way he yelled at my husband and myself was atrocious!!!! Telling us we should of had it done in March, it was never done correctly in the first place, he even was cursing at us, because we told him he could work till he fulfilled his 64 hours. That we would be done at that point, even if the job was not completed. He told us he was doing a hell of a job for us and we didn't respect him. We had high hopes for this person and we were happy to give him the work. He just never really behaved as if he actually wanted the work. You get to a point where you just have to stop the bleeding and we were there with him."
