Q: What other projects should I do at the same time as gutter painting?

• <div><p>Most gutter painting pros also specialize in complete home exterior painting. You may save by making your gutter painting part of the cost to paint the exterior of a house in its entirety. Many people have all parts of their home exterior painted simultaneously to keep everything looking equally fresh. Consider having walls, trim, porches, shutters, and doors painted as well.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to remove old stains before restaining a deck?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s best to remove the previous coat of stain from your deck before restaining it, especially if the surface is in bad condition. Restaining on top of an old coat can lead to an uneven surface, as the new stain won&rsquo;t fully soak into the deck material. That said, if your deck is in excellent condition, you may be able to get away with just cleaning the surface instead of sanding it and removing the old stain. If you choose not to remove the previous coat, it&rsquo;s best to use the same type of stain for the new layer. </p></div>

Q: How long does exterior paint need to dry before it rains?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that&rsquo;s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat. </p></div>

Q: Do I need to clean my deck before staining?

• <div><p>Yes, you need to thoroughly clean the deck surface before <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-stain-a-deck.htm">staining your deck</a>. Dirt, debris, and mildew can settle on the surface of your wood. If you do not properly clean it, these stains will get trapped between the wood and the stain. Not only does this present an unsightly surface, but your wood will only partially be protected by the stain, meaning you'll need to stain again sooner.</p></div>

Q: How often do I need to seal my deck?

• <div><p>You should seal your deck every one to two years, but you&rsquo;ll also need to clean and repair your wood deck throughout the seasons. You may want to hire a local house cleaning service to sweep and clean the deck thoroughly. These <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-hire-house-cleaner.htm">cleaning services cost</a> around $50 per hour.</p><p>Inspect your deck at least once a year, and if you notice any damage or rot, expect to spend about $10 to $50 for simple DIY fixes or about $2,000 for professional repairs on more extensive damage.</p></div>

This was the first cleaning for me with this service. I gave her a four-star because we need to get to know each other better and what to expect. What was accomplished was done well.

I have a steep driveway at home at Smith Mountain Lake. Tidy ran 150â vacuum hose to clean septic tank, rather than risk the driveway and house. They were thorough in cleaning out the sludge ( while working in 40* rainy weather.) great job guys,
