Q: Should I stain my deck with a brush or rag?

• <div><p>Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.</p></div>

Q: Is whitewashing permanent?

• <div><p>Whitewashing isn&rsquo;t permanent, but it can last for a long, long time. When you apply it correctly or have a seasoned pro whitewash your brick, whitewashing can last for 20 to 30 years or longer. Whitewash is very durable and typically requires little maintenance, making it a great project for most DIYers.</p></div>

Q: How do you keep pressure-treated wood from rotting?

• <div><p>Various kinds of substances and deck preservatives act as protective coatings for wood to prevent rot, which is caused by water getting into the wood and creating cracks and splits. Stains, paints, and sealants are the three best options to protect your wood, but there are also oils, varnishes, and waxes available. You&rsquo;ll need to reapply sealant at least once per year, and you should <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-often-should-i-inspect-my-deck.htm">inspect your wood deck</a> regularly to look for signs of damage or general wear and tear.</p></div>

Q: What kind of paint should you use on a concrete porch?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/exterior-concrete-paint.htm">best type of paint for concrete</a> exterior surfaces like concrete porches, steps, or walkways is high-quality exterior-grade paint with strong weather resistance. Acrylic latex blends with tiny anti-slip particles will help create an anti-slip coating for your concrete porch. This type of paint will stand up best to the elements, especially rain, snow, and ice. An exterior epoxy will also help strengthen your concrete porch.</p></div>

Q: Is satin or matte better for woodwork?

• <div><p>Satin is considered one of the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-paint-trims.htm">best types of paint for baseboards and trim</a>, along with doors and cabinets. Its soft sheen can help enhance architectural details while standing up to frequent cleaning and everyday wear. Matte finishes are prone to scuffs and harder to clean, making them less practical for high-touch surfaces such as doors. </p></div>
