More questions from our customers on staining…
Q: Once the initial cleaning is done, then I guess you would come back twice more to complete the rail sanding, board replacing, and staining part, but that depends on the weather, right?
A: Yes, Staining is weather dependent. The technician who will do your board replacements I will try and schedule him to do the washing as well so he could do both parts at once. The stain would be performed later after the deck has dried.
Q: I know the deck has to dry completely before you do the stain. And is it warm enough this time of year to apply the stain, or will it be by mid-April?
A: We have been busy staining all through March. The main concern is wind, rain, above 50% and dampness on the deck.
Q: I’m not sure what the temperature range is for applying the oil stains. If there are different color choices from Benjamin Moore, do you have samples you can bring on Monday for us to choose from?
A: Benjamin Moore offers many different colors. We have found that the colors we offer are the most popular, the other colors are a slight variation from these colors, and because they are semi- transparent the same colors look a bit different on every deck due to age, positioning and prior treatments in the wood.
