Frequently Asked Questions Q. How do I know when it is time to refinish my deck? A. As soon as the stain is fading out or begins to peel. Q. What should I stain my deck with? A. Stick with what was last applied. Roughing up the surface somewhat by sanding prior to staining will help the stain adhere better. Q. How long does redwood last? A. If it is properly maintained it will usually last about 20 years. Q. What is the difference between semi-transparent, transparent, and solid stains? A. Transparent stains let all of the wood grain and natural wood beauty show but only lasts one season. Semi-transparent lasts 2-3 years and allows some of the grain to show depending on the brand and color of the stain. Solid is similar to paint but much tougher and lasts 4-6 years. Q. Can I repair my deck? A. Absolutely. This is the easiest and most economical way to get a few more years out of an older deck. Q. Tell me a little about composite materials: A. The color and look of these materials depend on the brand and form. Some weather and some retain their color. Most are 16" on center but some are 24" on center. Some show the screws and some don't. One tip is to investigate what railing system will look good with your new deck. There are different railing systems available at different costs and different materials. Q. What do you charge? A. I provide free written estimates with no obligation. You are always free to choose the materials for your deck, but keep in mind that some materials cost more than others. Deposits are required for larger jobs. I know that you will be satisfied with my work because your satisfaction is my #1 priority. |
