How much does it cost to paint or stain a deck?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-paint-deck.htm">The cost to paint a deck</a> can range from <b>$500 to $2,000</b> depending on labor costs, the size of your deck, and the type of paint that you choose. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-stain-deck.htm">The cost to stain a deck</a> is a little less expensive, ranging from <b>$550 to $1,250</b>. It’s important to remember, however, that stain doesn’t last as long as paint, so it’s very possible that you’ll need to spend additional money more quickly. </p></div>

What happens if you don't clean a deck before staining?

• <div><p>If you don’t clean your deck before staining, dirt and debris can get stuck to the surface—which isn’t a good look. Plus, the stain won’t penetrate the wood properly and won’t do such a good job of protecting the deck from bad weather and UV rays. Basically, the stain won’t last as long or look as good.</p></div>

Q: What other projects should I do at the same time as gutter painting?

• <div><p>Most gutter painting pros also specialize in complete home exterior painting. You may save by making your gutter painting part of the cost to paint the exterior of a house in its entirety. Many people have all parts of their home exterior painted simultaneously to keep everything looking equally fresh. Consider having walls, trim, porches, shutters, and doors painted as well.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don't clean a deck before staining?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t clean your deck before staining, dirt and debris can get stuck to the surface&mdash;which isn&rsquo;t a good look. Plus, the stain won&rsquo;t penetrate the wood properly and won&rsquo;t do such a good job of protecting the deck from bad weather and UV rays. Basically, the stain won&rsquo;t last as long or look as good.</p></div>

Q: Should I stain my deck with a brush or rag?

• <div><p>Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint or stain pressure-treated wood?

• <div><p>Pressure-treated wood can not only be painted and stained, but it should be; doing so will help to prevent surface or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-common-problems-can-endanger-your-deck.htm">deck board cracking</a>. Allow the wood to dry out before painting it, as pressure-treated wood from the hardware store takes longer to dry than kiln-dried lumber. If water beads on the surface, it needs additional time to dry&mdash;in fact, it can take weeks or even months to fully dry. As soon as the wood absorbs water on the surface, it is ready to be painted or stained.</p></div>
