Q: Is satin paint a good choice for woodwork compared to flatter finishes like eggshell or matte?

• <div><p>Satin paint is generally considered a better choice for woodwork&mdash;including trim, baseboards, cabinets, and doors&mdash;than flatter finishes like eggshell or matte. Its soft sheen enhances architectural details and stands up well to frequent cleaning and daily wear. Compared to eggshell and matte finishes, satin is more durable for high-touch areas because it is less porous and doesn't absorb dirt as easily. Matte finishes, in particular, are prone to scuffs and are harder to clean, making them less practical for surfaces like doors and cabinets.</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: Do I need to sand an old deck before staining?

• <div><p>In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must. </p></div>

Q: What is involved in the deck staining or painting process?

• <div><p>The staining or painting process involves cleaning the deck, sanding surfaces, applying a primer (if needed), and carefully applying stain or paint for an even, lasting finish.</p></div>

Q: How often do I need to seal my deck?

• <div><p>You should seal your deck every one to two years, but you&rsquo;ll also need to clean and repair your wood deck throughout the seasons. You may want to hire a local house cleaning service to sweep and clean the deck thoroughly. These <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-hire-house-cleaner.htm">cleaning services cost</a> around $50 per hour.</p><p>Inspect your deck at least once a year, and if you notice any damage or rot, expect to spend about $10 to $50 for simple DIY fixes or about $2,000 for professional repairs on more extensive damage.</p></div>
