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.

Best paint for a deck railing?

2 years ago

Hi, We rebuilt a deck a year ago with pressure-treated wood. It's in a warm, humid area, right on the water. What's the best, longest-lasting paint? Water, oil, latex, acrylic -- what's best? It's a complicated railing, so don't want to have to do it again soon. :)
