Q: How long should I season my deck before staining?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don&rsquo;t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.</p></div>

Q: How often should I refinish my deck?

• <div><p>You should refinish your deck once every 2 to 3 years to maintain its appearance and durability. By refinishing your deck every few years, you extend its life by protecting the wood. If you notice faded deck boards, splintering boards, or warping, your deck likely needs refinishing soon. Be sure to repair your deck before refinishing to ensure its longevity. </p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to paint or stain a deck?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-paint-deck.htm">The cost to paint a deck</a> can range from <b>$500 to $2,000</b> depending on labor costs, the size of your deck, and the type of paint that you choose. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-stain-deck.htm">The cost to stain a deck</a> is a little less expensive, ranging from <b>$550 to $1,250</b>. It&rsquo;s important to remember, however, that stain doesn&rsquo;t last as long as paint, so it&rsquo;s very possible that you&rsquo;ll need to spend additional money more quickly. </p></div>

Q: Can you paint or stain pressure-treated wood?

• <div><p>Pressure-treated wood can not only be painted and stained, but it should be; doing so will help to prevent surface or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-common-problems-can-endanger-your-deck.htm">deck board cracking</a>. Allow the wood to dry out before painting it, as pressure-treated wood from the hardware store takes longer to dry than kiln-dried lumber. If water beads on the surface, it needs additional time to dry&mdash;in fact, it can take weeks or even months to fully dry. As soon as the wood absorbs water on the surface, it is ready to be painted or stained.</p></div>

Q: Does pressure-treated wood last longer if it’s painted?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-pressure-treated-wood-last.htm">Pressure-treated wood lasts</a> at least 10 years, but with the right care and treatment, it can last as long as 40 years. Painting the boards is one way to increase the lifespan of pressure-treated wood. The layer of paint provides extra protection for the wood against the exterior elements and insects. </p></div>
