Q: What kind of paint do you use on a front porch?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-exterior-paint.htm">best exterior paint</a> for the job of painting your front porch depends on the material you&rsquo;ll be painting. Acrylic paint is often recommended for a wooden porch as it&rsquo;s durable and easy to apply. If your porch is made of concrete, you&rsquo;ll need to find a formula suited to that material. </p></div>

Q: Can you waterproof all wood?

• <div><p>Yes, you can waterproof any wood that has not already been treated. A good way to test this is to splash some water on it. If the water starts to bead up, the wood is treated and most likely doesn&rsquo;t need another coating.</p></div>

Q: Does decking oil stop algae?

• <div><p>Many decking oils can help slow down algae growth, but they don't completely stop it. These oils work by sealing the wood, which reduces moisture and, therefore, algae growth. Some decking oils also help protect against UV damage, but they need to be reapplied according to the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions to ensure the decking stays protected.</p></div>

Q: Should you stain or seal cedar?

• <div><p>Staining or sealing a cedar deck will help it last longer. Cedar may be tough by nature, but without protection, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and mildew over time. Applying a stain, sealer, or both creates a shield against the elements, helping preserve the wood&rsquo;s strength and appearance. </p></div>

Q: How often should you treat your wood deck?

• <div><p>You should treat your deck with stain or sealer every two to three years to ensure it stays durable and protected from the elements. If you have a painted deck, we suggest repainting it every 10 years. You should clean your deck annually and inspect it for loose or damaged boards, screws, and nails. By maintaining your wood deck, you ensure its longevity, durability, and appearance.</p></div>

This is the second year we've done business with Matt. We had a slight problem with the deck stain; however, only because there is not a quality water based stain on the market. We wanted to let our new deck age and turn the natural gray, but it wasn't meant to be. Matt returned first thing in...
