Get matched with top deck staining pros in Phillipsburg, MO

Q: Should I stain the deck in the morning or afternoon?

• <div><p>Hot, intense sunshine can cause your stain to dry too quickly, which could lead it to look uneven or patchy. If you&rsquo;re staining the deck during hotter months, it&rsquo;s best to do it in the morning or evening once the wood has had time to cool down. If you&rsquo;re staining in cooler weather with less sunshine, the time of day won&rsquo;t make as much of a difference.</p></div>

Q: Does bleach harm wood?

• <div><p>Oxygen bleach uses hydrogen peroxide as a base and won&rsquo;t harm wood when using it as a cleaner. On the other hand, chlorine bleach breaks down wood at the cellular level and causes irreversible harm. Although you may not see immediate damage to wood after exposing it to chlorine bleach, its strength and integrity are now compromised.</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>

Q: Can I stain or paint my deck myself?

• <div><p>DIY staining or painting is manageable with proper preparation, including safety measures, necessary tools, and adherence to safe weather conditions for application.</p></div>

Q: How many coats of whitewash do I need?

• <div><p>The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage. </p></div>
