Q: Can you paint or stain pressure-treated wood?

• <div><p>Pressure-treated wood can not only be painted and stained, but it should be; doing so will help to prevent surface or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-common-problems-can-endanger-your-deck.htm">deck board cracking</a>. Allow the wood to dry out before painting it, as pressure-treated wood from the hardware store takes longer to dry than kiln-dried lumber. If water beads on the surface, it needs additional time to dry&mdash;in fact, it can take weeks or even months to fully dry. As soon as the wood absorbs water on the surface, it is ready to be painted or stained.</p></div>

Q: What maintenance is needed after staining or painting a deck?

• <div><p>Aftercare includes routine cleaning, checking for water repellency, and promptly addressing any chips or peels, maintaining the deck's appearance and functionality.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to brush or roll stain for decks?

• <div><p>It depends on the size of the surface. If you&rsquo;re covering a large area, a paint roller will allow you to stain the entire surface in much less time. Paint rollers also offer the advantage of creating a smoother, more even coat. However, they&rsquo;re not as practical for smaller surfaces such as banisters, spindles, and crevices&mdash;for these, opt for a paintbrush, paint mitt, or lint-free rag instead.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to spray or roll deck sealer?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s often best to spray on deck sealer. Sprayers can apply sealant more quickly and evenly than rolling while still enabling you to reach tight spaces. When using a sprayer, always use a low-pressure setting at a close distance to ensure an even application. Avoid using sprayers on windy days. </p></div>

Q: Should you stain your deck or seal it for better protection?

• <div><p>Sealing a deck is better than staining in terms of protection. Stain on its own does nothing but change the color of wood, while sealing protects wood from moisture, insects, and UV damage. If you want to stain your wood, consider a stain-and-sealant-in-one to change your deck's appearance while protecting it from the elements. Reapply stain and sealant once every year or two.</p></div>

It was much more than a power washing project. They stained the back deck after power washing, too. They were amenable to my additional requests including taming a backyard overgrown with weeds, ivy and very tall grass. There was a lot I asked if they would do. They were reliable and got on...

The company's strong point is power/soft washing the exterior but staining the exterior of the log home was not there unless the owner's father was doing the work

we called 2-3 contractors who did not want to come over to look at the job. They wanted us to send a photo. Alex answered the phone call, came over the next day, gave us a quote and brought with him a color chart to pick the stain. Since it was too cold outside to do the porch, he promised to...

I rated the cost as N/A because we did not shop around; I chose this vendor because he was highly rated on Angie's List, but do not know how his bid and final costs compare to others. We had 6 wooden dining room chairs which were my grandmother's (so at least 60 years old, as she died at...
