Q: Will a second coat of stain even out?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-stain-wood.htm">Adding a second coat of stain to wood</a> can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.</p></div>

Q: Should I wash my deck before staining?

• <div><p>You should always wash your deck before staining to remove debris, built-up grime, mold, mildew, and old, flakey finish. Failing to remove these impurities will cause the stain to look patchy, as it cannot evenly saturate the wood grain. Stain may also have drastically reduced lifespan when applied to a dirty surface. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning the wood to apply stain to ensure the surface is fully dry. </p></div>

Q: How do you take care of painted decking?

• <div><p>Painted decks typically require a new coat about once every ten years. In between new coats, it's best to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/10-tips-keeping-your-wooden-deck-looking-new.htm">maintain your deck</a> by regularly removing debris, washing it down with non-abrasive cleaners, and staying ahead of structural issues, such as loose boards and rotting wood. In some cases, painting a small section of your deck affected by damage or the sun can lower your costs and workload.</p></div>

Q: How often should I refinish my deck?

• <div><p>You should refinish your deck once every 2 to 3 years to maintain its appearance and durability. By refinishing your deck every few years, you extend its life by protecting the wood. If you notice faded deck boards, splintering boards, or warping, your deck likely needs refinishing soon. Be sure to repair your deck before refinishing to ensure its longevity. </p></div>

Q: What is the best way to protect a deck?

• <div><p>The best way to protect a deck is to prevent damage from UV light, water, mold, mildew, insects, and abrasive cleaning methods. Sweep regularly to prevent debris that hides bugs and traps moisture that can result in mold or mildew growth. Use a deck cleaner once a year to remove algae, mold, and mildew. Avoid using pressure washers on high, as they can damage the wood. Applying a deck sealant can protect the wood from UV and water damage, and adding shade can also reduce sunlight damage. </p></div>
