Q: How long should you wait to paint pressure-treated wood until it dries?

• <div><p>You should wait three to six months after you buy it to paint pressure-treated wood. It needs time to dry from the chemicals applied to it. The paint will not adhere to the treated wood as well if it&rsquo;s still wet from chemicals. To test the wooden boards, drip water onto them. If the wood absorbs the water, it&rsquo;s ready for painting. If the water beads up, it&rsquo;s not dry enough to paint yet. You can build your deck or fence while the treated wood is still wet, but you&rsquo;ll need to paint it later. </p></div>

Q: How do you keep stain rags from combusting?

• <div><p>Rags used with oil-based stains are highly flammable and can spontaneously combust in the right conditions. To reduce the fire risk, throw them in a metal container after use and add rocks on top to secure them. Add an inch of water and seal the container. Take the rags in the container to a hazardous waste factory as soon as possible. </p></div>

Q: When is the best time to paint a deck?

• <div><p>The best time to paint your deck is when temperatures are neither too cold (below 60 degrees) nor too hot (above 85 degrees). Always paint your deck when there&rsquo;s no risk of rain. For fast-drying paint like acrylic or latex, ensure your deck can dry for at least four hours. Oil-based paints take longer to dry and may require 48 hours to completely cure.</p></div>

Q: What maintenance is needed after staining or painting a deck?

• <div><p>Aftercare includes routine cleaning, checking for water repellency, and promptly addressing any chips or peels, maintaining the deck's appearance and functionality.</p></div>

Q: What kind of wood stain should I choose?

• <div><p>Opt for an interior wood stain that is rated for your type of wood. Consider your personal style preferences as well as the overall use of the room when choosing a color. Remember, the color you see at the store may look different on your actual floors once applied. This is why if you have the chance, it&rsquo;s helpful to test a few options on a scrap piece of wood in the room first. Once you narrow it down, you can test a small patch on an inconspicuous area in the room to see it on the actual floors. </p></div>

The gutter section replaced went great. We had a tree fall on the house and the damage to the gutter was one of many items being replaced. That same piece was hit three years ago by a tree and had to be replaced. All trees that could hit it are gone now. Yippee!! We have had Byer's LeafGard...

Karel Straka did an excellent job creating our new deck. He is very conscientious, trustworthy and shows up on time. His price for the job was very competitive. Since his team also does inside renovations, we will call him to redo our kitchen. We highly recommend him.
