Can you stain over a peeling stain?

• <div><p>You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’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 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: How long should you wait to paint pressure-treated wood until it dries?

• <div><p>You should wait three to six months after you buy it to paint pressure-treated wood. It needs time to dry from the chemicals applied to it. The paint will not adhere to the treated wood as well if it&rsquo;s still wet from chemicals. To test the wooden boards, drip water onto them. If the wood absorbs the water, it&rsquo;s ready for painting. If the water beads up, it&rsquo;s not dry enough to paint yet. You can build your deck or fence while the treated wood is still wet, but you&rsquo;ll need to paint it later. </p></div>

Q: Is it better to spray or roll stain onto a fence?

• <div><p>Using a paint sprayer takes a little more practice than a roller, but both are equally effective. If you&rsquo;re in a hurry and have the experience, a paint sprayer can save you some time on your project. If you&rsquo;ve never used a sprayer and don&rsquo;t have the time to learn, using a roller or brush will get you closer to your dream results.</p></div>

Q: What maintenance is recommended after fence repair?

• <div><p>Routine staining or sealing and periodic inspections to extend life.</p></div>

Q: Is it easier to edge wet or dry?

• <div><p>A dry lawn is easier to edge than a wet one. When your ground is wet, your blades will likely clump together, making a seemingly even cut while wet, but an uneven disaster when dried. Also, a wet lawn can impact your blade's performance and cause mud to kick up, resulting in a messy finish.</p></div>

He was courteous, on time when he said he would be there and did a very professional job painting the inside of my home. He actually suggested a different shade than I wanted at first for my bedroom and I am so glad he did. Turned out that was the best way to go.

Price seemed to be very high for an already finished garage. The estimate was for painting, per coat, plus we supplied all necessary primer, paint, etc. We can do the job ourselves but didnâ t want to. We are on a retirement budget, and just couldnâ t afford this price.
