Q: Do I need to sand an old deck before staining?

• <div><p>In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must. </p></div>

Q: What are the pros and cons of staining a deck?

• <div><p>There are more <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-and-cons-of-staining-a-deck.htm">pros than cons when staining a deck</a>. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. </p></div>

Q: How long do exterior paint fumes last?

• <div><p>Exterior paints contain more volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, making them dangerous when used indoors. Without the free ventilation of the great outdoors, it can take longer for the fumes to dissipate than interior paint. While you may notice the smell lessening more quickly, you should be wary of paint fumes inside for 48 to 72 hours after it dries.</p></div>

Q: Should decks be painted or stained?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-i-paint-or-stain-my-deck.htm">Decks can either be stained or painted</a>, depending on your preference. Typically stain is less expensive than paint, but paint offers more color options that might better match your aesthetic. No matter what you choose, both options protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear. </p></div>

Q: What finish is best for exterior porch paint?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-types-exterior-paint.htm">Eggshell and satin finishes are best for porches</a> because they sit in the sweet spot between scuffable matte and distracting high gloss. Your porch sees a fair amount of wear and tear, so you don&rsquo;t want paint that&rsquo;ll show every mark like matte, but you don&rsquo;t want to be blinded by glossy paint in the sun either. Eggshell and satin have durability and a look that sits nicely in the middle.</p></div>

These guys were fantastic! On time and on point. We had one deck that needed a complete overhaul, and another that we wanted extended. Start to finish, no issues. Took 6 days, with Eric doing most of the heavy lifting. We could not be happier with the result.
