Get matched with top deck staining pros in Valders, WI

Q: How long before you can walk on a painted deck?

• <div><p>It's okay to walk on a newly painted deck after about four to six hours as long as the weather has been dry. Be sure to wait at least 24 hours before you place any outdoor furniture or grills on a freshly painted deck, though.</p></div>

Q: Should you hire someone to stain a deck?

• <div><p>Hiring a contractor or professional deck refinisher is the best way to ensure your deck is properly stained. They have the expertise, tools, and supplies to do the job quickly and efficiently. However, staining a deck is a manageable task for most homeowners, and doing the job yourself can save money. Just keep in mind that DIY staining is a long process requiring physical strain, so it may not be the best option for everyone. </p></div>

Q: What not to do when staining a deck?

• <div><p>When staining a deck, don&rsquo;t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don&rsquo;t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don&rsquo;t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right. </p></div>

Q: Can I paint over old paint on my porch?

• <div><p>Whether you can paint over your existing paint depends on what&rsquo;s on there. Most of the time, you&rsquo;ll want to sand down or scrape off the paint that&rsquo;s currently coating your surface. Epoxy paint, for example, won&rsquo;t let new paint stick to the surface. Latex paint is more forgiving and will accept a new coat, but a primer is recommended if you&rsquo;re switching colors.</p></div>

Q: Does bleach harm wood?

• <div><p>Oxygen bleach uses hydrogen peroxide as a base and won&rsquo;t harm wood when using it as a cleaner. On the other hand, chlorine bleach breaks down wood at the cellular level and causes irreversible harm. Although you may not see immediate damage to wood after exposing it to chlorine bleach, its strength and integrity are now compromised.</p></div>
