"Ryan and Shannon are the nicest, most helpful people I’ve ever met. We hired them because they were so thorough and careful and really got a good “feel” from them when we got our quote. The work itself had some snags— it happens!— but I never felt unimportant or abandoned. When I said the color looked lighter than I was expecting, they came out the next day to talk about my options and make sure I was happy with how it was going. Ryan will not let anything slip by undone and is the type of guy to hop up on a ladder and do something himself if it needs doing. Great service, great communication. Looking forward to having them back to do some interior painting!"

"The painters were not only very personable and professional but also very efficient and did an excellent job stripping and painting the outside of my home. All the work was completed in a timely fashion. I originally had old white vinyl siding and when finished, my house looked brand new. I couldn’t be happier with the updated appearance."

"I just had the exterior of my home painted, along with some carpentry. I am in the process of scheduling interior painting. Zuck Painting is far better than five stars!! From the first contact, it was more than evident that every step would be perfection and it was! Not one area, from quote to scheduling to finished product was less than impeccable! I cannot wait to have more work done by them and refer them to everyone I possibly can!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.

The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage. 

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.

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.

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.
