Q: How many coats of whitewash do I need?

• <div><p>The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage. </p></div>

Q: How long after power washing can you paint?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll need to wait until the surface is completely dry, which can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours under optimal conditions. The waiting period depends on several factors, including the type of siding and the weather conditions. Trying to paint before the surface is completely dry can trap moisture under the paint, leading to bubbling, blistering, and mold growth.</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: Is it OK to pressure wash a deck before staining?

• <div><p>Yes, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-power-wash-deck.htm">pressure washing your deck</a> before staining is a great idea because it clears the wood from any dirt, dust, and debris that could get in the way of solid stain coverage. Washing makes it easier to stain your deck and helps the stain grip the wood so it lasts longer. Pressure washers are faster and easier on your body than scrubbing your deck by hand. </p></div>

Q: How many coats of stain should you put on cedar?

• <div><p>The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won&rsquo;t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain. </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...
