Should I paint my deck with a brush or a roller?

• <div><p>You can paint a deck with either a roller or a brush, but rollers are more common because they’re faster. There are benefits to using a brush, though. Brushes offer more control than rollers, so it’s a worthwhile route if you don’t mind spending more time on the job. The fastest way to paint a deck is with a sprayer, but they’re more expensive than rollers and brushes and more likely to result in an uneven coat.</p></div>

Q: Will painting a composite decking prevent warping?

• <div><p>The plastic in composite decking boards protects them enough that you do not need to paint them to prevent warping. In fact, painting composite decking voids the warranty of some manufacturers. Painting can also increase maintenance on the deck, as you must paint regularly to keep it looking its best. </p></div>

Q: How long does stain last?

• <div><p>A properly applied coat of stain will last between 3 and 8 years, depending on your climate. If you live in a place where your fence experiences a lot of moisture or high heat, your stain will last for a shorter period than in more temperate conditions. We recommend reapplying stain every 3 to 5 years to keep your wood in good condition.</p></div>

Q: Are there alternatives for waterproofing my deck boards?

• <div><p>Beyond liquid rubber, homeowners can use sealants, stains, membranes, or tapes as waterproofing options. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/polycrylic-vs-polyurethane.htm">Oil-based or water-based sealants</a> soak into the wood, creating a moisture-resistant barrier. Waterproofing stains&mdash;available in transparent, semi-transparent, and solid colors&mdash;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.</p></div>

Q: What is the best paint to not show dirt on a deck?

• <div><p>If your biggest concern is making sure your deck doesn&rsquo;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.</p></div>

I hired Bruce over 2 years ago to paint our stained kitchen cabinets and trim. He recommended oil based paint which was extremely difficult to prep and work around. They taped the room off and brought in a large blower for the fumes. The prep work was impressive, but things quickly went downhill...

They did so,so. They do carpet cleaning. I don't think they did as good as they have done in the past. I don't know if they were just in a hurry. They did okay, but usually they go above and beyond, but they did not seem to. We have a big house, but we don't have that much carpet in it. Only...

There was some problems with the finished decks and when we pointe them out they were fixed promptly and with no attitudes about having to fix the problems. All employees were very courteous. Will definitely use them again.

He was recommended to us from a friend. He does mostly concrete work. His price was reasonable. Our house was built in 1909 and so some of the pilings underneath it were disintegrating. He's a very nice guy and very personable. We’ve seen some of his other work that he's done and it's...
