Q: What lasts longer on a deck, stain or paint?

• <div><p>When choosing between deck stain or paint, knowing what will last longer is important. Deck paint lasts longer than deck stain. With deck paint, you can get up to <b>10 years</b> of coverage before you need to reapply. With deck stain, that time is significantly shorter at <b>two to three years</b>. </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: 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: Should I paint my deck with a brush or a roller?

• <div><p>You can paint a deck with either a roller or a brush, but rollers are more common because they&rsquo;re faster. There are benefits to using a brush, though. Brushes offer more control than rollers, so it&rsquo;s a worthwhile route if you don&rsquo;t mind spending more time on the job. The fastest way to paint a deck is with a sprayer, but they&rsquo;re more expensive than rollers and brushes and more likely to result in an uneven coat.</p></div>

Q: Should deck color be lighter or darker than house?

• <div><p>Like the choice of stain vs. paint, your deck color is entirely up to you. By consulting color theory, you can make choosing a house and deck color combination much easier. Many people choose a darker color for their deck because it doesn&rsquo;t show dirty footprints or other marks from daily wear and tear as much as a crisp white or other light color.</p></div>
