Q: How long should wood stain sit before wiping off?

• <div><p>If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood&rsquo;s grain for best results.</p></div>

Q: How many coats of stain is too much?

• <div><p>Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don&rsquo;t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to paint or stain a deck?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-paint-deck.htm">The cost to paint a deck</a> can range from <b>$500 to $2,000</b> depending on labor costs, the size of your deck, and the type of paint that you choose. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-stain-deck.htm">The cost to stain a deck</a> is a little less expensive, ranging from <b>$550 to $1,250</b>. It&rsquo;s important to remember, however, that stain doesn&rsquo;t last as long as paint, so it&rsquo;s very possible that you&rsquo;ll need to spend additional money more quickly. </p></div>

Q: Is waterproof paint effective?

• <div><p>Waterproof paint creates a barrier to hold back moisture, but it doesn&rsquo;t eliminate the source of the water. If you <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-questions-ask-basement-waterproofing-contractor.htm">hire a basement waterproofing contractor</a>, many will tell you that waterproof paint is only a temporary solution. On average, you can expect it to last from six months to two years in a wet basement before deteriorating. </p></div>

Q: What happens if an oil-based stain gets wet?

• <div><p>Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn&rsquo;t cause you any problems.</p></div>

The job was a hard one with glass tiles and mosaics. Vlod (owner) fixed all my mistakes on the prep and did a fantastic job for a great price. He kept a clean workplace and finished in a very short period of time. Overall I would hire him again in a heartbeat.

Dan arrived and i explained the problem I had. He explained the options that were available and explained he liked to start at the top and work his way down. Sure enough he found a clog in the U pipe, removed it and ran a test. His attention to the little things saved me the price of pipe...
