"I?ve worked with Leon on numerous projects. It began with adding an elevated back deck to the house. Next I had him take out a wall and remodel my kitchen. The most recent project was a complete bathroom remodel that involved constructing a walk-in shower where the sink used to be and building a sink/vanity where a tub used to be. He also created a ?water closet? for the toilet (it?s behind the sliding door with a mirror on it next to the shower in the pic.) Leon is easy to work with and helpful in keeping costs under control. I?ve included before and after pics of the bathroom and a pic of the deck."

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

Essential tools include brushes or rollers, drop cloths, sandpaper or power sanders, and appropriate cleaning supplies. Quality materials ensure long-lasting results.

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.

You’ll need to wait until the surface is completely dry, which can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours under optimal conditions. The waiting period depends on several factors, including the type of siding and the weather conditions. Trying to paint before the surface is completely dry can trap moisture under the paint, leading to bubbling, blistering, and mold growth.

Ensure gutters and downspouts remain clean, monitor wall integrity, and promptly address any arising imperfections or peels concept permanence rooted.

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.
