Q: Can you stain over a peeling stain?

• <div><p>You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it&rsquo;s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you&rsquo;re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.</p></div>

Q: Can you apply waterproofing over paint?

• <div><p>You can apply waterproofing over paint, but you won't get as much protection as you would if you painted the surface with a waterproof paint from the get-go. Not all waterproofing methods are compatible with painted surfaces, and they may not adhere well. This is especially true if the paint is glossy, old, or flaking. Waterproofing sealers are primarily meant to be applied to porous surfaces, like concrete, wood, or brick. </p></div>

Q: Do you have to remove lead paint?

• <div><p>You do not have to remove lead paint if the surface is not chipping or peeling or if there are no pregnant people or children under the age of six who live in or regularly visit your home. Lead paint is a particular risk for young children whose brains and bodies are not fully developed. Experts strongly recommend that you call a pro to remove lead paint if it&rsquo;s peeling or flaking, no matter who lives in the home. You can experience lead poisoning by breathing in or ingesting just a small amount of it.</p></div>

Q: What factors influence the duration of a paint removal project?

• <div><p>Most projects take 1-5 days, depending on the area size, paint adhesion, and removal technique chosen.</p></div>

Q: Does vinegar remove polyurethane from wood?

• <div><p>Yes, vinegar can remove polyurethane from wood, but it is a slow, inefficient, and inconsistent restoration method. Whatever your intention, it&rsquo;s best to avoid using vinegar on wood with a polyurethane finish&mdash;though it can be an effective cleaner for other wood finishes.</p></div>

"He was awesome. He called back, but he was working in Reed field, North Carolina and he could not get to us for a couple of days. By the time, he got to us we had already gotten the other estimates, and we were pleased with him. Hampton guy was great. He was really quick to get back to us, but he had other projects that he had already lined up. The experience was very satisfactory. He was very courteous, and prompt. He was very honest in saying that he cannot get to us, and if we needed to have this work done now, then we need to have to get somebody else. I appreciated that."
