Q: What happens if you don't clean a deck before staining?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t clean your deck before staining, dirt and debris can get stuck to the surface&mdash;which isn&rsquo;t a good look. Plus, the stain won&rsquo;t penetrate the wood properly and won&rsquo;t do such a good job of protecting the deck from bad weather and UV rays. Basically, the stain won&rsquo;t last as long or look as good.</p></div>

Q: Will a second coat of stain even out?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-stain-wood.htm">Adding a second coat of stain to wood</a> can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.</p></div>

Q: What is the best exterior paint for extreme weather?

• <div><p>Acrylic paint is one of the best types of paint to use on your home's exterior. It's a durable paint that is also heat- and cold-resistant. While oil-based paint is also durable, it's prone to fading, making it not as good of an option if you live someplace with extremely high heat. In colder regions, oil-based and alkyd paints become more viscous, which makes it harder to apply the paint.</p></div>

Q: What lasts longer on a deck, stain or paint?

• <div><p>When choosing between deck stain or paint, knowing what will last longer is important. Deck paint lasts longer than deck stain. With deck paint, you can get up to <b>10 years</b> of coverage before you need to reapply. With deck stain, that time is significantly shorter at <b>two to three years</b>. </p></div>

Q: Should you stain or seal cedar?

• <div><p>Staining or sealing a cedar deck will help it last longer. Cedar may be tough by nature, but without protection, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and mildew over time. Applying a stain, sealer, or both creates a shield against the elements, helping preserve the wood&rsquo;s strength and appearance. </p></div>
