Get matched with top deck staining pros in Craig Beach, OH

Q: Should I stain the deck in the morning or afternoon?

• <div><p>Hot, intense sunshine can cause your stain to dry too quickly, which could lead it to look uneven or patchy. If you&rsquo;re staining the deck during hotter months, it&rsquo;s best to do it in the morning or evening once the wood has had time to cool down. If you&rsquo;re staining in cooler weather with less sunshine, the time of day won&rsquo;t make as much of a difference.</p></div>

Q: Can I stain my deck after morning dew?

• <div><p>Always wait until the morning dew has dried before you stain your deck. The stain needs a fully dry surface to sink into. </p></div>

Q: How long should I season my deck before staining?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don&rsquo;t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.</p></div>

Q: Should exterior paint be acrylic or latex?

• <div><p>You can use latex or acrylic paint outdoors. Although acrylic paint tends to last longer outside, it also costs more, so if you&rsquo;re painting the outside of your house, for instance, latex paint is often a go-to option. However, acrylic will be your best choice if you want to spend some extra money for added durability. </p></div>

Q: Is painting a pool deck a good idea?

• <div><p>If you have a smooth, already bonded concrete surface, painting a concrete pool deck can be a great way to brighten up the area and add longevity. If the surface has another covering or a different type of paint has been used previously, you won&rsquo;t be able to paint it without removing the existing coating. Wooden decks benefit from painting as it helps to keep them watertight. Quality pool deck paints also help make the surface less slippery and less likely to gather mold and mildew or prematurely crack.</p></div>
