Q: When is the best time to stain a deck?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll want to avoid excessively hot or humid conditions, so it&rsquo;s best to apply your stain in late spring to early fall. It's also important to watch the weather forecast and aim for days when there isn&rsquo;t rain expected for at least three days. For new decks, allow the wood to season beforehand for at least four to eight weeks. </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 I paint over old paint on my porch?

• <div><p>Whether you can paint over your existing paint depends on what&rsquo;s on there. Most of the time, you&rsquo;ll want to sand down or scrape off the paint that&rsquo;s currently coating your surface. Epoxy paint, for example, won&rsquo;t let new paint stick to the surface. Latex paint is more forgiving and will accept a new coat, but a primer is recommended if you&rsquo;re switching colors.</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>

Q: What’s the best temperature to paint a pool deck?

• <div><p>The best temperature to paint a pool deck is between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit, because many paints and sealers require temperatures warm enough for the chemical reaction to take place for proper curing. The paint should not be allowed to freeze, and temperatures above 90 degrees can cause the paint to dry too quickly, also preventing the chemical reaction from following through to completion.</p></div>
