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>

Q: How long does it take to stain a deck?

• <div><p>Provided conditions are ideal, staining an entire deck should take as little as a couple of hours and up to a couple of days to apply and cure. Additional procedures, like sealing a deck or using additional treatments, may extend the project by a few additional days. </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>

Q: How many years will deck stain last?

• <div><p>A quality deck stain lasts 2 to 5 years, depending on the type of stain, weather exposure, and how well the deck is maintained. Transparent stains may need reapplication sooner, while solid stains tend to last longer. Regular maintenance, including cleaning and sealing, will help extend the life of your finish.</p></div>

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>
