Q: What paint is best for an old deck?

• <div><p>The best paint for an older deck depends on the material and whether or not your deck already has a coat of paint. Generally, if your deck already has paint on it, you should choose the same type of paint when repainting the deck. For example, if an old deck has oil-based paint on it, stick with oil; if your deck has water-based paint, choose water-based paint. </p></div>

Q: Should I pressure wash my deck before I paint it?

• <div><p>You don&rsquo;t have to pressure wash your deck before painting. However, you must clean the deck, and pressure washing is one of the most efficient methods. Pressure washing quickly removes flaked paint, wood fibers, and embedded dirt. It also gets much deeper into the wood surface than manually scrubbing the deck&mdash;and the cleaner the deck, the better the paint can adhere. Ensure the wood is fully dry before applying paint.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: How do specialists ensure the longevity of deck repairs?

• <div><p>By applying protective finishes and using durable materials that withstand weather and time.</p></div>

Q: Should decks be painted or stained?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-i-paint-or-stain-my-deck.htm">Decks can either be stained or painted</a>, depending on your preference. Typically stain is less expensive than paint, but paint offers more color options that might better match your aesthetic. No matter what you choose, both options protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear. </p></div>

Al and his crew are outstanding, efficient, and very attentive to client's wishes. For people with big equipment, they're very light on the landscape and careful not to damage anything or tear up grass. They clean up really well when they're finished. And they're really efficient. I highly...

This team was very informative of my questions. I also found they are the most reasonable price. I had them clean all ductwork plus dryer vent. Time will tell on improvements of air quality in the house.

They have done a stellar job and always have very fair pricing. They have cut down trees, done property clean-ups, and completed overall transformations. They are definitely my go-to team for my projects. I would not have had them do my house as well if I did not completely trust their work....
