Q: How long should pool deck paint last?

• <div><p>Depending on factors such as weather, use, substrate condition, and type of paint used, pool deck paint should last anywhere from 1 to 5 years. Keeping the paint clean and resealing every year or two can help extend the life of the paint. Proper preparation before painting also plays a large role in how long the paint lasts on a pool deck. Paint will likely not last as long on a pool deck in poor condition before painting.</p></div>

Q: Should I pressure wash my deck before I paint it?

• <div><p>You don&rsquo;t have to pressure wash your deck before painting. However, you must clean the deck, and pressure washing is one of the most efficient methods. Pressure washing quickly removes flaked paint, wood fibers, and embedded dirt. It also gets much deeper into the wood surface than manually scrubbing the deck&mdash;and the cleaner the deck, the better the paint can adhere. Ensure the wood is fully dry before applying paint.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: What is included in exterior house painting?

• <div><p>Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:</p><ul><li><p>Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted</p></li><li><p>Scraping away loose paint</p></li><li><p>Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris</p></li><li><p>Caulking gaps and openings</p></li><li><p>Priming with a quality paint primer</p></li><li><p>Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-types-exterior-paint.htm">paint finish</a></p></li><li><p>Adding a second coat</p></li><li><p>Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What type of exterior paint lasts the longest?

• <div><p>If you want the longest-lasting exterior paint, go with acrylic. You can choose from acrylic latex, enamel, or latex enamel. These types of paint can withstand harsh weather conditions and sun exposure. Additionally, matte and satin finishes are likely to be your best bet for exterior paint that can withstand moisture and cracking.</p></div>

Q: What exterior paint can handle extreme heat?

• <div><p>Just like how acrylic paint is one of the best options for full sun exposure, it is also the winner when it comes to the best paint types for homes that experience extreme heat. Again, you'll want to choose neutral, lighter-colored paints for the best results. These paint colors stand the best chance against scorching summer heat. </p></div>
