    Deck Stain vs. Paint: What’s the Difference Between Stain and Paint, and Which Is Best for a Wood Deck?

    by Scott Paul ~ Restoring Decks Since 1993 02/08/2022

    A question we hear often at DeckStainHelp.com is, “What’s the difference between using deck stain and regular house paint?” The key to answering this question starts with understanding the difference between stain and paint. Is it Better to Paint or Stain a Deck? If you’re comparing stain to house paint, it’s absolutely better to use stain on your wood deck. House paint is designed specifically for vertical surfaces, such as walls and trim, not horizontal ones like the surfaces of your deck. House paint is much thicker, and when applied to a deck, it will wear and peel. Meanwhile, staining is a more budget-friendly option that is easy to apply and shows off the natural look of the wood. However,…

    Can you Stain over a Painted Deck?

    by Scott Paul ~ Restoring Decks Since 1993 04/05/2022

    Apply Stain over a Painted Deck? Can you apply a deck stain to a deck that is painted? The answer is not immediately. Whether you are looking to change the color or brand of stain on your deck or you are simply looking to treat your deck with a fresh coat of stain, you absolutely must remove all layers of paint or solid stains that are already on the wood. Otherwise, the quality and performance of your paint job will be compromised and you will end up having to stain all over again. So, just remember to remove any existing paint from the wood surface before tackling a new deck staining job and you will be all set! There are…

    Your Deck is not a Hardwood Floor

    by Scott Paul ~ Restoring Decks Since 1993 01/18/2022

    Your Deck is not a hardwood floor and should not be shiny or excessively sanded smooth. We have had people write in and ask if they should apply polyurethane to an outdoor deck. The notion of having a beautifully shiny, smooth finish like an indoor wood floor on your outdoor deck may seem appealing to some of you, but it is not practical. You should not apply polyurethane to an outdoor deck surface for several reasons. Rain and harsh UV rays from the sun will penetrate the polyurethane cause it to fail quickly, leaving the wood susceptible to weathering. The polyurethane will eventually blister and peel on exterior wood. Those who have experienced a peeling or blistering deck know how…
