Painting pricing

[Woody38]

Thank you Biggd. I have wondered about these. One person said he did the deck and was pleased since his wife uses a cane, but no reference to weather conditions. I do not shovel snow off the deck and generally have spent the winters in California for the past 10 years. This year is different because of Covid-19.

Thanks.

http://www.deckstainhelp.com/class-a...-deck-restore/ ..... what a big surprise that even Rustoleum messed up with deck stain .... Rustoleum is usually very high quality.

You gotta read the comments on this Rustoleum product, down the bottom of the page from Rita Buckmaster ........ wow!

From the above link ....... "Rustoleum Restore has been alleged of being prone to premature failure." ...... " it may be susceptible to bubbling and/or peeling." ....... and it's an expensive gallon of paint as well ...... like 40-dollars!

Say-hey ..... for just five dollars, I got a gallon of Ben Moore Arborcoat solid dark blue last October from Heath's returned paint shelf..... reg price $51 ..... unhappy returned color price, only $5.

Don't like the color too much myself, but otherwise is an excellent product at the right price! Hey, the color is just the color ...... what really matters is the paint is what I keep telling myself!

I have a small front porch, about 8 x 8 with an overhang covering half.
The half under the overhang held up better than the half that was exposed to the elements and needed to be shoveled. I had to scape all of it off because it looked worse than before I did it.
I'm just going to do it over with Trex and be done with it.

You do know the Trex has wood in it right, Bigg?

I meant a composite material that doesn't need maintenance other than washing. Could be Trex, Weather tech, Azak or some other composite. I just won't use Preasure treated again, which is what's there now.

Having personally gone through them all I would get a true plastic one like Azek. Wish I had gotten that the first time not the 5th. Course it wasn't around way back.

I used weather tech on a deck 15 years ago and it still looks great.

That I haven't used. I am not familiar. I just know when we used the wood filled products, they were better than PT, mahogany etc, but we got black spots because from the mold. I just didn't like the look.

[Biggd]

My front porch deck is so small that I'm looking for someone that over bought and are selling the extra at a discount. So as long as it's gray in color and a composite I will put it down. I'm not that fussy.

.....whoopsie-doopsie ..... sorry for posting this one in that other thread, my bad!
.................

Arborcoat exterior stain, made by Ben Moore is very good deck/siding latex stain ...... lists for 57.99/gal ..... and it's pretty normal to find someone's returned, unhappy color for sale on the reject paint shelf at Heath's in Center Harbor for just five dollars.

"Well you know, I thought it would be the greatest color ever painted on a Lake Winnipesaukee house ..... but buoy ..... was I ever wrong on that/this." ...... overheard comments at Heath's paint dept .....

One coat covers very good ..... two coats cover super-duper ..... no primer needed.

Benjamin Moore Paint & Stain is owned by Mr. $86-billion, billionaire Warren Buffett and he will personally stop by your house to help with removing all that old mold and mildew, nailing down the loose nails, and sanding it all down ..... no extra charge for 90-year old Warren to stop by and help you get it done, right!

You know it as soon as you saw into Trex.

The odor of sawdust is readily apparent!
