My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Choices for pressure treated deck?

14 years ago

I want to spruce up my deck. It's 4 years old, made from pressure treated lumber.

My goal is for it to be comfortable on bare feet in the summer, a light gray color.

Are there products to keep decks cool, like Kool Deck for pools? Deck-Restore is nice but I heard it's VERY hot in the summer.

What choices do I have for materials?
