Q: Do decks need to be primed before painting?

• <div><p>Unless you&rsquo;re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/quick-primer-interior-painting.htm">apply a coat of primer</a> ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you&rsquo;ll often need fewer coats of paint. </p></div>

Q: Should decks be painted or stained?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-i-paint-or-stain-my-deck.htm">Decks can either be stained or painted</a>, depending on your preference. Typically stain is less expensive than paint, but paint offers more color options that might better match your aesthetic. No matter what you choose, both options protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear. </p></div>

Q: How quickly can staining rags combust?

• <div><p>Here's the deal with leaving used rags covered in oil-based stain lying around in a pile: Depending on the conditions, these rags can take just an hour or up to a few days to combust. The source of ignition is caused by trapped heat that can be compounded if the rags are near a heat source. </p></div>

Q: What happens if you stain over stain?

• <div><p>Sometimes, you can apply a new stain over an old one, but the outcome depends on the deck's condition and whether the stains are compatible. For the best results, ensure the old stain surface is clean, smooth, and in good condition, and always test for compatibility before committing.</p></div>

Q: Can pros help enhance the aesthetic appeal of a deck or porch during repairs?

• <div><p>Yes, they provide design insights that enhance space utility and visual appeal.</p></div>

William and his Team were very professional. William was very responsive and reliable. We love our new front porch with Trex and back Redwood deck. Both reflect their attention to detail and quality. I liked having a contract with all the details for work to be performed. Thanks William!
