"I hired color world to paint and repair my back deck. They did a nice job on the painting and when I showed them a few things that need to to be repaired they came back the very next day and fixed it. The staff was very friendly and receptive and I feel like I got a fair price comparing them to two other painters."

"If I could give John Kelch more than five stars, I absolutely would. He is one of the best handymen I’ve ever hired.John installed a new bathroom vanity and a cabinet above the toilet in my daughter’s home, and his workmanship was exceptional from start to finish. He carefully unpacked and assembled everything, completed all of the plumbing, installed both pieces flawlessly, and even corrected an existing plumbing issue along the way. Both installations were in a very small bathroom with extremely tight working spaces, but John handled every detail with incredible care and precision. His attention to detail, craftsmanship, and problem-solving skills are second to none. What impressed me just as much was his professionalism. He’s honest, trustworthy, efficient, and takes tremendous pride in his work. He cleaned up afterwards and treated our home with respect. Finding this level of meticulous, integrity and is rare anymore. I highly recommend John and won’t hesitate to hire again!"

"Spray-Net knocked it out of the park! Ching and Aleshia were a pleasure to deal with ? super professional and really took the time to understand what I was looking for. Cleanliness and punctuality were the two things I stressed most, and their team delivered on both without question. They actually asked me what it would take to earn a 5-star review and then made sure every box was checked. Great crew, great results. I?ll be recommending them to everyone I know!"

"I loved working with Ron. He made me feel very confident they would do a good job. All the people working on my fence were very nice and outgoing. My only negative was that they quoted me a certain price, but said they would need more stain and charged me $750 for the extra stain. My total bill came to double the quoted price. That surprised me and I don't like surprises."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

DIY is possible but presents risks of uneven surfaces or improper adhesion; professionals offer expertise to ensure a lasting finish.

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.

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. 

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.

Ipe wood can last up to 75 years with minimal maintenance because its own oils help to preserve it. However, to get the most out of your Ipe wood deck, you should perform some routine maintenance, including regular cleaning, sweeping of leaves and debris, and rinsing spills with a hose. It’s also important to repair any deep scratches as soon as you spot them and reseal the deck annually to protect against scratches and scuffs.
