Deck and Wood Refinishing FAQs

How Often Should I Seal My Deck?

The frequency depends on the type of sealant used. Good quality sealants can last several years, while standard sealants only last about a year. It may be a good idea to seal your deck if the surface is dull or faded, or if you can see scratches.

Should I Paint or Stain My Deck?

Paint isn't breathable and can trap moisture inside the wood, causing it to decay faster. Instead, you can use a solid color stain that soaks into the wood and allows it to breathe while still protecting against UV rays. Others say that paint can hold up for up to ten years, while you should apply a new coat of deck stain every 2-3 years.

How Should I Prepare My Deck for Painting?

Here are some steps you can take to prepare your deck for painting:
• Remove any loose paint by scraping or sanding
• Remove any loose substrate
• Clean the deck with soap and water to remove dirt and debris
• Repair any loose or damaged boards
• Sand rough edges for a smooth finish
• Apply a good quality wood primer
• Let the wood dry for at least 24 hours before painting
