Q: Should decks be painted or stained?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-i-paint-or-stain-my-deck.htm">Decks can either be stained or painted</a>, depending on your preference. Typically stain is less expensive than paint, but paint offers more color options that might better match your aesthetic. No matter what you choose, both options protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear. </p></div>

Q: How many coats of stain on a deck?

• <div><p>Two coats of stain are ideal for the best protection and aesthetic appeal. However, if your decking is made of particularly dense hardwood, you may only need one coat. If you want an intense color, two coats are ideal. </p></div>

Q: Can liquid rubber damage my deck?

• <div><p>Liquid rubber is great for waterproofing, but it can damage your deck if it&rsquo;s not applied correctly. First, it can trap moisture in the wood if the deck isn&rsquo;t completely dry before application. Second, applying it too thickly can create a heavy, rubbery surface layer that peels and cracks under fluctuating temperatures. For the best results, ensure the wood is completely dry before application, and apply the liquid rubber in thin, even coats. A quick inspection every now and then will help you catch any issues early, keeping your deck protected and looking its best.</p></div>

Q: Can I stain my wood deck over the old stain?

• <div><p>Yes, you can stain your wood deck over old stain, but proper preparation is the key to successful results. Begin by thoroughly cleaning the deck to remove dirt, debris, and loose or flaking old stain. Sanding or stripping may be necessary to smooth the surface and ensure proper adhesion of the new stain. Test a small area to ensure compatibility between the old and new stain. Also, choose a stain compatible with the existing stain type and color. By following these steps meticulously, you can achieve a refreshed appearance while preserving the integrity of your deck.</p></div>

Q: What is involved in the deck staining or painting process?

• <div><p>The staining or painting process involves cleaning the deck, sanding surfaces, applying a primer (if needed), and carefully applying stain or paint for an even, lasting finish.</p></div>
