Get matched with top deck staining pros in Lacona, NY

Q: How do I know when it’s time to restain my deck?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll need to restrain your deck when you notice fading, cracking, peeling, or mold and mildew over a moderate to large area, or when it&rsquo;s become especially difficult to clean. As for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-often-should-you-stain-your-deck.htm">how often to stain a deck</a>, plan to do it every two to three years or whenever you start to notice extended damage. </p></div>

Q: Should you hire someone to stain a deck?

• <div><p>Hiring a contractor or professional deck refinisher is the best way to ensure your deck is properly stained. They have the expertise, tools, and supplies to do the job quickly and efficiently. However, staining a deck is a manageable task for most homeowners, and doing the job yourself can save money. Just keep in mind that DIY staining is a long process requiring physical strain, so it may not be the best option for everyone. </p></div>

Q: What is the best time of day to paint outside?

• <div><p>While the answer varies based on weather, 10 a.m. is a good time to start painting. The dew will have dried, meaning there&rsquo;s no moisture on the house, and the temperature will likely be moderate and the sunlight less direct. Starting mid-morning should also give you enough daylight and pleasant weather to work on the job for several hours.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint a damaged pool deck?

• <div><p>Painting a damaged pool deck is not recommended if the substrate is crumbling, cracking, spalling, or otherwise actively deteriorating. Continuing deterioration will result in the paint also delaminating or flaking off the damaged surface. Minor damage such as chips or hairline cracks that are not actively deteriorating can often be repaired enough to paint over. A damaged pool deck with a lot of cracking and deterioration should be replaced for best results.</p></div>

Q: Can I paint over old paint on my porch?

• <div><p>Whether you can paint over your existing paint depends on what&rsquo;s on there. Most of the time, you&rsquo;ll want to sand down or scrape off the paint that&rsquo;s currently coating your surface. Epoxy paint, for example, won&rsquo;t let new paint stick to the surface. Latex paint is more forgiving and will accept a new coat, but a primer is recommended if you&rsquo;re switching colors.</p></div>
