Q: Should I wash my deck before staining?

• <div><p>You should always wash your deck before staining to remove debris, built-up grime, mold, mildew, and old, flakey finish. Failing to remove these impurities will cause the stain to look patchy, as it cannot evenly saturate the wood grain. Stain may also have drastically reduced lifespan when applied to a dirty surface. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning the wood to apply stain to ensure the surface is fully dry. </p></div>

Q: Should I brush or roll stain on wood?

• <div><p>Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. </p><p>Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.</p></div>

Q: Should I pressure wash my deck before I paint it?

• <div><p>You don&rsquo;t have to pressure wash your deck before painting. However, you must clean the deck, and pressure washing is one of the most efficient methods. Pressure washing quickly removes flaked paint, wood fibers, and embedded dirt. It also gets much deeper into the wood surface than manually scrubbing the deck&mdash;and the cleaner the deck, the better the paint can adhere. Ensure the wood is fully dry before applying paint.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: Do services include repainting after repairs?

• <div><p>Yes, most professionals offer painting services to match the repaired area with existing walls.</p></div>

Q: What is the best way to apply stain?

• <div><p>Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you&rsquo;re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around <b>four hours</b> between coats.</p></div>

Huisman arrived and went straight to work on cutting my 60+ foot tree down. He were very careful of the neighbors fence, my deck, my house, and my pine tree. Lots of obstacles. Other than the stump, you could not tell that there was a tree there. Great job. A few days later, I had the stump...

Dan Funke was responsive to my questions and concerns. The price was reasonable. Dan and his son showed up on time to do the work. They also did some additional cleaning of our porch railing. I would highly recommend Funke Clean!
