Should I paint my deck with a brush or a roller?

• <div><p>You can paint a deck with either a roller or a brush, but rollers are more common because they’re faster. There are benefits to using a brush, though. Brushes offer more control than rollers, so it’s a worthwhile route if you don’t mind spending more time on the job. The fastest way to paint a deck is with a sprayer, but they’re more expensive than rollers and brushes and more likely to result in an uneven coat.</p></div>

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

• <div><p>If you don’t clean your deck before staining, dirt and debris can get stuck to the surface—which isn’t a good look. Plus, the stain won’t penetrate the wood properly and won’t do such a good job of protecting the deck from bad weather and UV rays. Basically, the stain won’t last as long or look as good.</p></div>

Q: Should you choose to seal or stain your deck for optimal protection and appearance?

• <div><p>Both sealing and staining can help make your deck look better almost immediately. However, deck stain may not contain waterproofing components, leaving the surface vulnerable to moisture damage. To protect your deck from winter weather, apply a sealer or a stain-and-sealer combination product.</p></div>

Q: What factors affect coating costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on coating type, labor, site preparation, and required finishes.</p></div>

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: Are there alternatives for waterproofing my deck boards?

• <div><p>Beyond liquid rubber, homeowners can use sealants, stains, membranes, or tapes as waterproofing options. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/polycrylic-vs-polyurethane.htm">Oil-based or water-based sealants</a> soak into the wood, creating a moisture-resistant barrier. Waterproofing stains&mdash;available in transparent, semi-transparent, and solid colors&mdash;add both protection and style to your deck. For heavy-duty waterproofing, deck membranes and waterproof tapes can be applied under the deck boards to direct water away from the structure below. Whatever method you choose, clean and prep the deck first to ensure the best, longest-lasting results.</p></div>
