Q: Should I brush or roll stain on wood?

• <div><p>Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. </p><p>Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.</p></div>

Q: Do decks need to be primed before painting?

• <div><p>Unless you&rsquo;re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/quick-primer-interior-painting.htm">apply a coat of primer</a> ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you&rsquo;ll often need fewer coats of paint. </p></div>

Q: What happens if you stain over stain?

• <div><p>Sometimes, you can apply a new stain over an old one, but the outcome depends on the deck's condition and whether the stains are compatible. For the best results, ensure the old stain surface is clean, smooth, and in good condition, and always test for compatibility before committing.</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: What maintenance does a wood deck need?

• <div><p>A wood deck needs an annual cleaning, plus refinishing every two to three years, which involves <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-sand-deck.htm">sanding the deck</a> and applying stain or sealer. If you have a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-paint-deck.htm">painted deck</a>, you&rsquo;ll need to repaint it every 10 years. You should also fix and repair loose or broken deck boards, nails, and screws. Cleaning your deck regularly and applying sealant protects the wood from the elements, water damage, rot, mildew, and fading from the sun.</p></div>
