Q: Can I stain my wood deck over the old stain?

• <div><p>Yes, you can stain your wood deck over old stain, but proper preparation is the key to successful results. Begin by thoroughly cleaning the deck to remove dirt, debris, and loose or flaking old stain. Sanding or stripping may be necessary to smooth the surface and ensure proper adhesion of the new stain. Test a small area to ensure compatibility between the old and new stain. Also, choose a stain compatible with the existing stain type and color. By following these steps meticulously, you can achieve a refreshed appearance while preserving the integrity of your deck.</p></div>

Q: What not to do when staining a deck?

• <div><p>When staining a deck, don&rsquo;t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don&rsquo;t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don&rsquo;t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right. </p></div>

Q: What is the best time of day to paint outside?

• <div><p>While the answer varies based on weather, 10 a.m. is a good time to start painting. The dew will have dried, meaning there&rsquo;s no moisture on the house, and the temperature will likely be moderate and the sunlight less direct. Starting mid-morning should also give you enough daylight and pleasant weather to work on the job for several hours.</p></div>

Q: How long does exterior paint need to dry before it rains?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that&rsquo;s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat. </p></div>

Q: Do services include repainting after repairs?

• <div><p>Yes, most professionals offer painting services to match the repaired area with existing walls.</p></div>
