Frequently Asked Questions

How do you prepare surfaces before staining or painting?

Proper surface preparation is crucial for a long-lasting finish. Our process includes cleaning the area to remove dirt and mildew, sanding to smooth rough spots, repairing any damaged sections, and applying appropriate primers or sealers to ensure optimal adhesion of the stain or paint.

How do I know if my wood needs restoration or maintenance?

Wood surfaces often show signs of needing care, such as fading, discoloration, cracking, or visible damage like rot or peeling finishes. If your log cabin, deck, or cedar shakes look weathered or no longer repel water, it’s time for professional attention. Regular maintenance not only restores beauty but also prevents costly repairs down the road. Contact us for an assessment to determine what your property needs!

How often should I re-stain or repaint my exterior surfaces?

The frequency of maintenance depends on factors like exposure to elements, type of wood, and quality of previous applications. Generally, we recommend re-staining every 3-5 years and repainting every 5-7 years to maintain optimal protection and appearance. Regular inspections can help identify when it's time for a refresh.
