Q: How long after power washing can you paint?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: What paint will stick to composite decking?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s best to use an exterior latex acrylic paint to promote maximum adhesion to composite decking. This flexible paint type can better cope with the natural expansion and contraction that can occur with composite deck boards. Oil-based paints won&rsquo;t adhere as effectively and are more likely to crack and peel as the boards flex. Testing whether your chosen paint will stick on an inconspicuous section or a spare board is a good idea.</p></div>

Q: How long should wood stain sit before wiping off?

• <div><p>If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood&rsquo;s grain for best results.</p></div>

Q: How do you refresh a painted deck?

• <div><p>You can refresh a painted deck by either giving it a thorough cleaning or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-refinish-deck.htm">refinishing the deck</a> altogether. Chipped or faded paint, as well as extensive damage, often calls for a new finish. To do this, remove the original coat of paint with a sander and add either a new coat of paint or a stain to protect the wood below.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to sand an old deck before staining?

• <div><p>In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must. </p></div>

Since I just got a new kitchen it was very important to me that they covered where they were working and cleaned everything when done and they did a great job in doing this. The pricing was reasonable and they were very respectable. I will deffently use them again.
