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’re staining the deck during hotter months, it’s best to do it in the morning or evening once the wood has had time to cool down. If you’re staining in cooler weather with less sunshine, the time of day won’t make as much of a difference.</p></div>

What should you not use on a composite deck?

• <div><p>Avoid using cleaning products that are abrasive or contain bleach or acidic components on composite decking to avoid discoloration. Early-generation Trex decking isn’t designed to handle pressure washer cleaning—and if you use them on second-generation boards, always use a low setting to avoid the risk of damage that can risk voiding your warranty. </p></div>

Q: What paint is best for an old deck?

• <div><p>The best paint for an older deck depends on the material and whether or not your deck already has a coat of paint. Generally, if your deck already has paint on it, you should choose the same type of paint when repainting the deck. For example, if an old deck has oil-based paint on it, stick with oil; if your deck has water-based paint, choose water-based paint. </p></div>

Q: Do you have to remove all the old paint before repainting a deck?

• <div><p>You don&rsquo;t necessarily have to remove all the old paint before repainting your deck, but it&rsquo;s best to remove as much as possible to ensure a smooth and long-lasting finish. Prioritize scraping off loose, peeling, or flaking paint, and sand down rough areas to create a smooth surface for the new paint to bond with. </p></div>

Q: Should you choose to seal or stain your deck for optimal protection and appearance?

• <div><p>Both sealing and staining can help make your deck look better almost immediately. However, deck stain may not contain waterproofing components, leaving the surface vulnerable to moisture damage. To protect your deck from winter weather, apply a sealer or a stain-and-sealer combination product.</p></div>

It was much more than a power washing project. They stained the back deck after power washing, too. They were amenable to my additional requests including taming a backyard overgrown with weeds, ivy and very tall grass. There was a lot I asked if they would do. They were reliable and got on...

The company's strong point is power/soft washing the exterior but staining the exterior of the log home was not there unless the owner's father was doing the work

we called 2-3 contractors who did not want to come over to look at the job. They wanted us to send a photo. Alex answered the phone call, came over the next day, gave us a quote and brought with him a color chart to pick the stain. Since it was too cold outside to do the porch, he promised to...

I rated the cost as N/A because we did not shop around; I chose this vendor because he was highly rated on Angie's List, but do not know how his bid and final costs compare to others. We had 6 wooden dining room chairs which were my grandmother's (so at least 60 years old, as she died at...
