How to Find a Deck Architect Near You in Kansas City

You shouldn’t paint over a cracked surface

This isn’t necessarily a problem if you have a wood deck, but for people with concrete, make sure you seal those cracks before you start. Paint can seep in between and even amplify cracks, which could make your pool deck look worse, not better.

A clean deck will do wonders for deck paint

Don’t try to use pool deck paint over a dirty deck. The paint won’t stick very well, and excess dirt may change the color you chose. We highly recommend pressure washing your deck with a mix of Trisodium Phosphate (TSP) and water. That will help get rid of dirt, grease, and grime to make paint application a lot easier.

Make sure you use a primer

If you have a wooden deck, be sure to use a wood-safe primer before you apply any kind of paint (you can skip this step for concrete). Primer ensures that you protect the wood, and it helps the paint go on more smoothly.

Choose a color that complements your home

When deciding on the color for your pool deck paint in Kansas City, think about which color will flow best with your home. Consider your outdoor decor and the color of your house. The last thing you want is a mismatch color scheme (unless you do want that).
