Q: Does wood stain go bad?

• <div><p>Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years. </p></div>

Q: Do you need to remove the stain before refinishing?

• <div><p>Removing the original paint or stain before refinishing is a good idea, as it ensures the new finish bonds strongly to the wood. If you skip the stripping or sanding step, the new finish may peel or flake away from the railing easily. Using a wood stripper will completely remove the old stain or paint while sanding will help to prime the surface.</p></div>

Q: Why is my wood stain still rubbing off after drying?

• <div><p>If your wood stain is still rubbing off after the recommended drying time, it means the pigments didn&rsquo;t soak into the wood properly and remain on the surface. There are a few possible causes, including applying the stain in hot temperatures, applying too much stain, or failing to wipe off excess before it dries completely.</p></div>

Q: Can pros change the stain color during refinishing?

• <div><p>Yes, professionals can change the stain color during refinishing by stripping old finishes and applying new stain. They offer expert color matching and application methods, resulting in a refreshed look that aligns with the homeowner's design preferences.</p></div>

Q: What can you do with a broken couch?

• <div><p>If your couch is damaged, you are not out of options. You might try fixing it on your own, bring in a furniture repair specialist, or opt to get rid of it responsibly. Depending on its condition, you could donate, sell, recycle, or drop it off at a local scrap facility. </p></div>

Bob refinished a bed for me that had been stored in the attic and had sustained some water damage. He also helped with some loose chair back. All his work was nicely done and in a very timely fashion. He picks up and delivers. I highly recommend him.

I gave them the gift card and that was it. Lowe's is closer to my house and I would rather go closer. The customer service is fine. All I did was pick up furniture polish or something and went to the counter and checked out with my gift card. I had a very positive experience.

One installer arrived in the morning, worked his tail off, sometimes in the rain, temperature was in the 50's, most of the work was done inside the house. I removed curtains and blinds, moved furniture from around the windows and door. The price was more than expected, but worth it.

It mostly went OK. The interior work looks excellent, and the exterior work is OK given the recent weather and the condition of the deck prior to painting. My biggest complaint is the care that was given to our property and items during the painting. We just discovered 3 days later that our...

He did a fabulous job. He added piping around the couch arms, back and bottom and made it look like something from a high end furniture store. He takes a lot of pride in his work and it shows. I would recommend him to anyone who wants a quality job at decent prices.
