Sunday fun-day deck work. This is going to be a two tone deck with all the spindles going a very dark black. It will have years of easy maintenance thanks to Ready Seal semi transparent stain, one of the only stains that can go over itself for years to come. All it requires is a light deck cleaning and powerwashing.

I think there is a common misconception that exterior work is easier than interior and I think that’s where a lot of fake “professionals” do most of their damage. Anyone can have a job look decent the day they finish, but will it still be that way the following Spring? I almost cringe this time of year as I’m going to see what’s in store for me to fix this year.

1. Case in point, this fiberglass door had an interior stain/poly on it. Enough said. It’s not rated for moisture, offers no protection from UV and will assuredly fail very quickly. It needed to be stripped, and will get a gel stain and multiple coats of a spar urethane finish, followed by easy maintenance coats each summer to avoid restaining in the future

2. This deck has been stained over and over for the last 30 years. It’s too close to the ground, there is practically no separation in between the boards rendering it a moisture nightmare. This deck is approaching the point of needing to be replaced as many of the boards have deep cracks in them showing that they are essentially dried out and are not going to be very capable of receiving any sort of stain. It was important to know that this deck should only have so much done to it before the cost just wouldn’t make sense. After powerwashing, grinding most of the old stain off to bare wood, this deck got oil primed which is something often overlooked as many of today’s latex stain products state they can go over bare wood. This has never made sense to me because painters prime everything that’s bare! Why would we not do that on a horizontal exterior surface that gets sun, weather, and even animals? This then got 2 coats of a latex solid stain and my hope for it is to get 3 years for the customer.

3. This pergola had to be stripped before a clear sealer could go on it. It previously had behr semi transparent put over semi transparent which led to flashing, lapping, and poor adhesion and a poor quality job again. I used the only product on the market (Ready Seal) that allows for continuous staining over itself in the upcoming years.

In conclusion, there are plenty of good professionals out there, but there are about twice as many who don’t truly know what they are doing, and are going to make my life miserable for years to come as I keep following behind to try and undo what’s been done. This comes at an increasingly higher cost the second time around so my best piece of advice is to get multiple estimates for your job. You will be able to feel out after three safely what’s really entailed, who is knowledgeable and it probably more times than most won’t be the cheapest guy.

Usually impartial to homeowners colors, but this was a great color for their main entrance. Love the way the stained doors and newly painted wainscoting stand out.

I’ve recently used Regal and Scuff X which are some of Benjamin Moore’s top of the line paint. I have to say from an application standpoint and finish, I’d hands down take Scuff X all day. Matte on the walls and satin on the trim.
