Debating whether to paint a deck? It is easy to assume that a few coats of color will transform a space for the better. However, Dream Team member Carson Arthur shows you how to dress up a fresh air space for a look that will last well past summer.
Question: I have a large deck that is looking a little boring. Should I paint the surface? What can you recommend to help warm up the space and make it more appealing?

Don’t paint the deck! Never paint a deck. The paint will never adhere to the wood for a long period. If you want to add some zing, look for a semi or transparent penetrating wood stain. These can be tinted to any color you choose. Just make sure to properly prepare the wood according to the stain directions first.
