Q: How often should you stain a dock?

• <div><p>Ideally, it's best to stain your dock once per year. Applying stain doesn't just keep it looking nice and new; it also helps extend the dock&rsquo;s lifespan. Since you want to ensure water levels are at their lowest, it's best to have this project done by a professional dock repair service in the cooler autumn or early winter months. </p><p> </p></div>

Q: What is the difference between limewash and whitewash?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re deciding between <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/limewash-vs-whitewash.htm">limewash versus whitewash</a>, know that both have a chalky matte appearance. Limewash is made from lime, water, and sometimes pigment, while whitewash consists of lime, water, white chalk, and binders (though you can get a similar look with watered-down white paint). Whitewash has fewer options for color customization, and it sits on surfaces instead of being absorbed into them, which can trap moisture. Whitewashing costs less&mdash;about $1.40 to $4.20 per square foot.</p></div>

Q: Does decking oil stop algae?

• <div><p>Many decking oils can help slow down algae growth, but they don't completely stop it. These oils work by sealing the wood, which reduces moisture and, therefore, algae growth. Some decking oils also help protect against UV damage, but they need to be reapplied according to the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions to ensure the decking stays protected.</p></div>

Q: Is satin or matte better for woodwork?

• <div><p>Satin is considered one of the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-paint-trims.htm">best types of paint for baseboards and trim</a>, along with doors and cabinets. Its soft sheen can help enhance architectural details while standing up to frequent cleaning and everyday wear. Matte finishes are prone to scuffs and harder to clean, making them less practical for high-touch surfaces such as doors. </p></div>

Q: How many coats of stain is too much?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;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.</p></div>

"We had a great experience with Shamrock. My husband is an architect and pretty much knew what needed to be done to remove a wood burning stove from our fireplace and restore it to a working fireplace before anyone arrived to give us a quote. We had several contractors come by and try to tack on extra unnecessary add ons using scare tactics. Gary from Shamrock came and not only was he honest about what needed to be done he also assessed that we needed some repair work done to our chimney which my husband already knew had to be done. We were very pleased with the removal of the wood burning stove , the chimney repair and his promptness and professionalism. Honesty goes a long way especially when you are unaware of what the clients knowledge of the situation is. I would highly recommend and ask for Gary. "
