Q: What is the difference between limewash and whitewash?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re deciding between <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/limewash-vs-whitewash.htm">limewash versus whitewash</a>, know that both have a chalky matte appearance. Limewash is made from lime, water, and sometimes pigment, while whitewash consists of lime, water, white chalk, and binders (though you can get a similar look with watered-down white paint). Whitewash has fewer options for color customization, and it sits on surfaces instead of being absorbed into them, which can trap moisture. Whitewashing costs less&mdash;about $1.40 to $4.20 per square foot.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to stain a deck?

• <div><p>Provided conditions are ideal, staining an entire deck should take as little as a couple of hours and up to a couple of days to apply and cure. Additional procedures, like sealing a deck or using additional treatments, may extend the project by a few additional days. </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: Is waterproof paint effective?

• <div><p>Waterproof paint creates a barrier to hold back moisture, but it doesn&rsquo;t eliminate the source of the water. If you <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-questions-ask-basement-waterproofing-contractor.htm">hire a basement waterproofing contractor</a>, many will tell you that waterproof paint is only a temporary solution. On average, you can expect it to last from six months to two years in a wet basement before deteriorating. </p></div>

Q: What is the most waterproof paint?

• <div><p>There&rsquo;s no single paint that&rsquo;s the most waterproof. Instead, there are several types of waterproof and water-resistant paints that suit different purposes. Epoxy paint, for instance, is commonly used to provide a waterproof coating to floors and decks. Masonry paint is an excellent choice for exterior walls. Meanwhile, there are waterproof acrylic paints that can be used for interior and exterior walls. It&rsquo;s more about choosing the best type for what you&rsquo;re painting instead of the most waterproof paint overall. </p></div>
