Paint or solid stain on my deck!?

zzzzzxx · May 1, 2022

Floor of my old deck has seen better days. Began stripping it and sanding it and now it’s looking much better.

My question is.. I am not sure if it’s a deck paint the previous owners put on or a solid stain. The railings and spindles look much better ( same color) but when stripping the deck I was able to peel big hunks of it off.. would solid stain do this too? A few pictures online shows like it could. It did remind me of peeling paint but now I’m not sure.

It's made pretty clear here when you join that this is a sit for professional painters to talk to other professional painters. Why do DIY homeowners feel it's ok to just ignore that?

My advice is to hire a professional.

Thanks Joe for the advice! Don’t get bitter. Get better. 🙃
