Q: How long does stain last?

• <div><p>A properly applied coat of stain will last between 3 and 8 years, depending on your climate. If you live in a place where your fence experiences a lot of moisture or high heat, your stain will last for a shorter period than in more temperate conditions. We recommend reapplying stain every 3 to 5 years to keep your wood in good condition.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint over old paint on a concrete porch?

• <div><p>You can paint over old paint on a concrete porch. For the best results, you should first clean the surface and remove as much paint as you can. A power washer is helpful here, but you&rsquo;ll also want to scrape as much of the old paint away as possible. Then you should prime the porch before repainting it.</p></div>

Q: What maintenance is necessary for new decks?

• <div><p>Routine cleaning, sealing/staining, and inspection prolong deck life and appearance.</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>

They removed shoe molding, hung plastic to secure the rooms, sanded the floors, applied the stain and then the coats of poly. (over a 3 day period). They always let me know before they arrived each day and updated me on their progress and what would still need to be done. The floors look great....

They washed the siding and windows. After the cleaning we still had stubborn stains that did not come off. They returned and hand-washed the siding at no extra cost.
