Strip, Clean, Neutralize and Stain

Arguably the most important aspect of a re-staining project is the accurate assessment of the appropriate product to use and the amount of pigment that it should contain. Semi-transparent stains create a unique challenge to the contractor and client because re-applying the same product that was originally used may not be the correct approach; while the protective properties of the original stain coat may have weathered away, the “staining” effect of the original stain treatment may not have visibly faded. Thus, re-application of the same product originally used may result in the house looking significantly darker than before. Luckily, our Charlotte painting crew has extensive experience with wood and deck staining.
