To oversimplify it, stain can be broken down into two categories; peeling, and non-peeling. The difference between the two is pretty self-explanatory, but we will look deeper into the benefits and drawbacks of each, and then help you decide which stain to use on your next staining job.  </span> </p> <h3> <span> <br/> What Makes A Stain Peel? </span> </h3> <p> <span> <br/> To start off, we need to identify what makes a stain peel. Any stain that forms a barrier overtop of the wood is what we call a mask-filming stain. Usually, this stain is water/acrylic based. These stains over time lose their bond to the wood and will flake and peel off, often reminiscent of how paint acts. When wood expands and contracts, which it does a lot in Ottawa thanks to the severe weather changes we experience, a mask-forming stain struggles to adjust and will end up flaking off of the wood over time. Moisture buildup, especially for a prolonged period, is even tougher on a mask-forming stain. If the stain stays wet for too long, it loses its integrity and will wash off, leaving bare spots and flakes of stain all over your deck. Ottawa weather is very tough on these stains, especially on decks, because snow will usually sit on the stain for months at a time, keeping the stain wet. Below is a picture of a stain that has started to peel.  <br/> <br/> </span> </p> </div> <div> <img src="https://irp.cdn-website.com/8ba4e1b7/dms3rep/multi/IMG_4885.JPEG" alt="Peeling Deck Stain"/> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <h3> <span> <br/> What Is A Non-Peeling Stain? </span> </h3> <p> <span> <span> <br/> A non-peeling stain is a stain that penetrates into the wood rather than forming a mask around it. Typically this stain is oil-based. Rather than peeling over time, this stain will fade. Unlike a mask-forming stain, which struggles in wet and humid environments, a penetrating stain is much less affected by these conditions, meaning it holds up significantly better to the weather we get in Ottawa’s winters.  </span> </span> </p> <h3> <span> <br/> How Often Is Maintenance Required For Each Stain? </span> </h3> <p> <span> <span> <br/> Maintenance is needed for both types of stains, but the type of maintenance and what that maintenance involves varies. A deck with a mask-forming, aka peeling, stain will likely need maintenance on a yearly basis. This will include sanding off all peeling stain and then re-applying another coat on top of the deck. A fading stain will need maintenance every ~3 years. This maintenance includes a quick wash and then re-application of the stain, but no sanding will be required.  </span> </span> </p> <h3> <span> <br/> What Is The Drawback Of A Penetrating Stain? </span> </h3> <p> <span> <br/> So far, it seems like all the major drawbacks have been against mask-forming stains rather than penetrating stains. While I do think peeling stains have way more drawbacks, and I am biased towards penetrating stains, there are a few cons to them. First, in a shaded area where moisture builds up, like under a tree, or next to plants, penetrating stains are prone to build up more moss, algae, and other organic growths. This can mean that a deck gets slippery when it’s wet, and maintenance may be more frequent compared to a drier, uncovered area. They also don't do as great a job protecting against UV rays as their peeling counterpart does.  </span> </p> <h3> <span> <br/> When Would A Mask Forming Stain Be Better? </span> </h3> <p> <span> <br/> Although I recommend a penetrating stain more often, especially with the weather we get in Ottawa, there are a few instances where I’ll recommend a mask-forming stain.  </span> </p> <ul> <li> <span> A mask-forming stain may often be a great choice for a fence. Unlike decks, water and moisture don't pool up on a fence nearly as much. Because of this, you can usually get a longer life span out of each coat compared to a penetrating stain. This means less frequent maintenance. It is not uncommon to get longer than 5 years of life from a mask-forming stain on a fence, even with Ottawa’s weather conditions.  </span> </li> <li> <span> When up-front cost is a factor, a mask-forming stain may be your best bet. While it won’t last as long on decks, there is less prep work needed to apply this type of stain, and as such is often less expensive to apply.  </span> </li> <li> <span> If colour is a main priority, then a water-based mask-forming stain will give you significantly more options to choose from. As long as you are prepared for the more frequent and costly maintenance, this type of stain gives you much more freedom to get the look you want.  </span> </li> <li> <span> When you have an old deck or fence and want to extend its life as much as possible, a mask-forming stain may be your best option. It will cover more imperfections, and it can be applied to wood that may be too old to apply a penetrating stain on. Since this is often the last stage before replacing an old deck or fence, maintenance isn’t as much of a concern as it would be if the deck was in great shape.  </span> </li> </ul> <h3> <span> <br/> Appearance Differences </span> </h3> <p> <span> <br/> Aside from the technical differences between mask-forming and penetrating stains, there is also a noticeable difference in how they look. Mask-forming stains have a more “painted” look, while penetrating stains give the wood a “hydrated” or “wet” appearance. Ultimately, it all comes down to personal preference which you prefer, as they both can look great! </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Are you looking to get your deck or fence stained in the Ottawa area?

This curb appeal is your first and often most impactful selling point.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> <br/> Clear Cut Painting specializes in understanding the nuances of colour psychology and architecture. This enables us to select </span> </span> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hue" target="_blank"> hues </a> <span> <span> that complement your home's style, thereby increasing its attractiveness and potential market value. </span> </span> </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <h2> <span> The Protective Shield </span> </h2> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <span> In Ottawa's climate, your home's exterior is subjected to wear and tear from harsh weather conditions.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> A quality paint job acts as a protective shield, safeguarding your home against moisture penetration, wood rot, and the detriments of UV radiation.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Clear Cut Painting uses only high-grade, durable paint products, ensuring this protective coat enhances appeal and serves as a resilient barrier against the elements, ultimately prolonging your home's structural integrity and value. </span> <span> <br/> </span> </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <h2> <span> Efficient Energy Use </span> </h2> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <span> Beyond aesthetics, the choice of exterior paint colour and type can influence your home's energy efficiency. Light hues reflect sunlight, reducing heat absorption and air conditioning needs during the warmer months.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> This aspect of exterior painting is a smart investment, leading to long-term savings and making your home more attractive to prospective buyers concerned with energy consumption and costs.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Clear Cut Painting's consultants are adept at recommending the optimal colour palette and paint products that align with energy efficiency goals. </span> <span> <br/> </span> </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <h2> <span> Marketability and Competitive Edge </span> </h2> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <span> A freshly painted home stands out in the real estate market, giving it a competitive edge.

According to industry estimates, a professional paint job can increase a home's value by up to 5%.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Considering the relatively low cost compared to other home improvement projects, painting offers an unbeatable cost-to-value ratio.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Clear Cut Painting provides comprehensive, transparent, and competitive pricing, ensuring your investment is well-calculated and impactful. </span> <span> <br/> </span> </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <h2> <span> Prolonging Lifespan, Minimizing Future Costs </span> </h2> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <span> Addressing and correcting exterior surface imperfections and applying a protective paint coat significantly reduces the need for costly repairs.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Regular maintenance, including painting, signals to buyers that the home has been well cared for, potentially saving them future hassle and expense.

We typically specialize in interior residential re-paints, meaning we are painting walls that have previously been painted, and the majority of the time, we do not need to use a primer prior to re-painting a wall. We’ll go over some situations you might find yourself in when painting your home, and help you decide whether you should prime your painting surface.  </span> </p> <h3> <span> <br/> Painting New Drywall </span> </h3> <p> <span> <br/> If you have new drywall that needs to be painted, you may be asking yourself if it needs to be primed, or if you can go right ahead and just apply the paint. When painting new drywall, it is important to get good adhesion between the paint and the wall to avoid chipping and to get the proper colour out of your paint. When painting unpainted drywall, it is important to prime them prior to painting.  </span> </p> <h3> <span> <br/> Painting Bare Wood </span> </h3> <p> <span> <br/> If you find yourself with new trim, new baseboards, or any other wooden material in your house that needs to be painted, it can be tough to know if you need to prime the material prior to painting it. Similar to drywall, if the wood has not been painted before, it is important to prime the surface prior to applying your paint. Priming the wood prior to painting will fill in the grains in the wood and give a much more refined finish to the final paint job. This will ensure proper adhesion from the paint and will let your paint job last much longer than if you didn't prime. </span> </p> <h3> <span> <br/> Re-Painting Walls </span> </h3> <p> <span> <br/> If you have painted your walls before, or if you have hired a painter in Ottawa to paint your walls before, but you want to change the colour years later, it may have crossed your mind that you need to prime the wall first. Fortunately, it is not usually required to prime your walls prior to painting them if they have already been painted. Unless you are painting over a hard-to-cover colour, there should be no reason to have to prime your walls before painting them.  </span> </p> <h3> <span> <br/> Is Your Wall Dirty? </span> </h3> <p> <span> <br/> Painting over a wall with lots of stains and gunk on it can be tricky. If you hire a painting company in Ottawa and have them do a paint job, you want the finished product to last a long time. While you can paint over stains and other discoloration, it is possible that without primer those same stains will show through sooner than expected. We recommend using a good primer to cover any stains or discoloration to avoid this when painting your walls. If there are a lot of stains and you find yourself spot-priming a lot of the painting area, it may be best to prime the whole surface to avoid minor colour differences from painting over primed vs unprimed spots. </span> </p> <h3> <span> <br/> Painting Over Hard To Cover Colours </span> </h3> <p> <span> <br/> You may have painted your walls an ugly bright yellow years ago, or had a professional painting company come in and paint them a bright red colour and are finally deciding to change it up and re-paint your house. Some colours can be tricky to paint over, and the question of whether or not primer is needed becomes a bit more tricky. Sure, you could paint over the walls with no primer, and the paint job will last just as long. The issue is you may need to use 3 or more coats of paint to cover some colours. In that situation, it may be more cost-effective to make the first coat primer, and the next two coats of paint your higher quality gallons of paint. Rather than spending $100 per gallon of coloured paint for 3 coats, you can use a $ 20 per gallon primer, followed by two coats of coloured paint, and get just the same result, with the same effort of work, but for a bit less money. </span> </p> <h3> <span> <br/> Looking To Hire A Painting Company In Ottawa? </span> </h3> <p> <span> <br/> Does painting your home feel a bit too daunting, or maybe you just want to make sure it’s done properly and will last a long time?

There is so much more than just putting paint on your walls; it can get intimidating even to know where to start. If you’re about to paint the interior of your bedroom, or if you’re still deciding whether or not to hire a painting company to do it for you, this post will guide you in the right direction.  </span> </p> <h3> <span> <br/> Plan Your Re Paint </span> </h3> <p> <span> <br/> The first step for any painting job needs to be to have a clear plan. This means deciding if you’re going to paint just the walls, or if you’re going to paint the ceiling, doors, trim, and everything else that may have old paint that needs refreshing in your bedroom. At Clear Cut Painting, we have been painting in Ottawa for years, and we always recommend painting your trim, baseboards, and doors along with your walls. A fresh white coat on your baseboards and trim can go a long way in highlighting your wall's new colours. In fact, after we paint a bedroom's walls, we often get asked to add on the baseboards and trim as well if the customer didn’t opt to have those painted at the start.  </span> </p> <h3> <span> <br/> Buy Your Painting Materials And Supplies </span> </h3> <p> <span> <br/> Once you have a clear plan of what you’re painting, and what colours you will be using, it is time to purchase your paint and supplies. Be sure to buy good quality paint; not only will it last longer and look better, but higher quality paint is often easier to paint with as well. At Clear Cut Painting, we always recommend Sherwin Williams to homeowners in Ottawa looking to paint the interiors of their homes. You will also need to make sure to buy all the materials required for your prep work, along with a couple of paint brushes, paint trays, and drop cloths.  </span> </p> <h3> <span> <br/> Prep Your Painting Area </span> </h3> <p> <span> <br/> Now that you have purchased all of your painting supplies and are ready to paint, it’s time to get your area set up and start your prep. The first step is laying down all your drop cloths and laying plastic sheeting over any furniture you couldn’t remove from the room. Once you’ve done that, remove all fixtures from the wall like screws, electric covers, and anything else that is covering your wall. Now that everything is ready, it’s time to get prepping! Clean cobwebs, fill nail holes, sand rough spots, and then get ready to paint.  </span> </p> <h3> <span> <br/> Painting Your Room </span> </h3> <p> <span> <br/> Now that you have prepped your bedroom, it is time to get painting! The order in which you paint is up to you; some people swear by painting the trim and then the walls, while others will swear you need to paint the walls before the trim. It’s up to you to do whatever feels right for you. One thing that most painters can agree on, is that you should cut in your edges before rolling. When painting your edges, make sure to feather out the brush strokes so that it blends in with the rolling. After your first coat, wait until the paint is dry enough to do a second coat, and go over it with a light sander and get rid of any drips before applying coat number two. Most walls only need two coats of paint if you are using good-quality paint. </span> </p> <h3> <span> <br/> Enjoy Your Painted Bedroom </span> </h3> <p> <span> <br/> It’s time to enjoy your newly painted bedroom! You’ve done it; you have painted your bedroom, cleaned your paintbrushes, and put all your furniture back. Whether you painted it yourself or got daunted by the task and hired a professional company like Clear Cut Painting to paint your bedroom, you have earned a drink! Sit back, be glad it’s done, and enjoy your new space! </span> </p> <h3> <span> <br/> Looking To Hire A Painting Company In Ottawa? </span> </h3> <p> <span> <br/> Does painting your bedroom feel a bit too daunting, or maybe you just want to make sure it’s done properly and will last a long time?

It can be a real headache for Ottawa homeowners to figure out how to go about stripping their deck or fence, so we figured we’d make a quick post outlining our process to strip decks and fences of existing stain so we can apply the new stain. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <h3> <span> What Type Of Stain Are You Removing? </span> </h3> <p> <span> <br/> The first step we need to take is identifying which type of stain is on the wood that we’d like to strip. There are two types of products that it could be; it is either a water-based stain or an oil-based stain. Generally, a more transparent oil-based stain is easier to remove, and a more solid water-based stain is the toughest. Identifying what’s on your wood will give you a good idea of the amount of work and money it will take to remove, even though the process is very similar. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <h3> <span> What Do I Need To Buy To Remove The Stain? </span> </h3> <p> <span> <br/> Wood stain removers can be purchased at your local Ottawa hardware store, and they all work rather similarly. It’s important to get the stripper, and not the cleaner. In our experience, 1 gallon of stripper will remove about 100 - 200 square feet of stain on a wood surface, depending on what type of stain you have on the wood already. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <h3> <span> How Do I Apply The Chemical To My Wood </span> </h3> <p> <span> <br/> At Clear Cut Painting, we use a garden sprayer to apply a mist of the deck and fence stripper to the wood. It’s important to not let the stripper dry out, otherwise, it will not work in removing the stain from your deck or fence. A light misting every few minutes will do the trick.  </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <h3> <span> Time To Pressure Wash The Wood Fence o Or Deck </span> </h3> <p> <span> <br/> After the chemical has been sitting on the wood for about 15-30 minutes, we like to take a power washer and slowly start removing the stain. You can do this step using a wire brush or broom if you don't have access to a pressure washer. If all the stain isn’t removed from the surface, a second, and sometimes even third pass may be required to completely remove all the stain. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <h3> <span> Use  A Wood Brightener </span> </h3> <p> <span> <br/> The next step is optional, but Clear Cut Painting recommends using a wood brightener to restore the natural look of the deck or fence’s wood prior to staining. The chemical stripper can darken the natural tone of the wood, and using a wood brightener can neutralize the chemical and restore the natural look of the wood, leading to a more professional finished product. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <h3> <span> Time To Stain The Deck Or Fence! </span> </h3> <p> <span> <br/> After all this, you’re ready to stain your deck or fence, and have it look like a pro has done it!

Contact Clear Cut Painting for a free, same-day exterior painting quote. <div data-rss-type="text"> <h1> <span> How To Paint Vinyl Siding </span> </h1> </div> <div> <img src="https://irp.cdn-website.com/8ba4e1b7/dms3rep/multi/siding_.jpg" alt="Painting Vinyl Siding"/> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <span> <span> We get a lot of questions about exterior painting at Clear Cut Painting, and one of the most common is “is it safe to </span> </span> <a href="/exterior-painting-services/siding-painting"> paint vinyl siding </a> <span> ?” and when the answer is a conditional “yes”, people always ask “how can I paint my vinyl siding?” We’re writing this to provide a guide about painting your vinyl siding. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> It wasn’t long ago when we were very restricted as to how we could paint our vinyl siding. Vinyl siding is a type of plastic, and if it gets too hot, it can warp. There are a lot of stories out there from people who incorrectly painted their siding, and had to replace it shortly after. If you follow all these steps, you’ll be able to choose from a wide range of colours and have a long-lasting vinyl paint job! </span> </p> <h3> <span> <br/> </span> </h3> <h3> <span> Prepping Your Vinyl Siding <br/> </span> </h3> <p> <span> <br/> The prep that goes into painting your vinyl siding is often overlooked, but it’s also extremely important! The first step to prepping your siding is to wash it thoroughly. There are a lot of ways to do this, but the most common is to use a pressure washer. Next, you will want to scrape and sand any loose or chipping sections either from the siding itself or from the existing peeling paint. After that, you’ll want to find any cracks or small holes in the siding and use caulking to patch them up. After we’ve scraped, sanded, and caulked the siding, it’s time to spot prime any prepped areas and any spots that we notice the previous paint is failing more than average. Just like that, we’re done with the prepping stage! </span> </p> <h3> <span> <br/> The Paint and Materials </span> </h3> <p> <span> <br/> In the last few years, paint technology has made it possible to choose from a wider range of colours without having to worry about overheating your vinyl siding and causing warping. Just make sure to be clear with your paint store representative that you plan to use the paint on your home’s exterior vinyl siding, and they will guide you in the right direction to choose the right paint. We’ll also be making a post in the future about all the specific tools and supplies you will need to paint your home’s vinyl siding. </span> </p> <h3> <span> <br/> Painting Vinyl Siding </span> </h3> <p> <span> <br/> At Clear Cut Painting, the majority of our vinyl siding paint jobs are done using a paint sprayer. We mask off any areas that won’t be getting painted using a combination of masking paper and plastic. We then spray on a heavy coat of paint to your siding, and then go back over it one more time, doing any touchups to areas that require it. It is possible to paint your siding with a brush and roller, but it is far more time-consuming, and investing in a sprayer will save you a whole lot of time and ache.  </span> </p> <h3> <span> <br/> Final Thoughts </span> </h3> <p> <span> <span> <br/> If you are looking to </span> </span> <a href="/exterior-painting-services/siding-painting"> paint your siding </a> <span> <span> , it is definitely possible to do it on your own, but we always recommend using a professional service to paint your home’s exterior.

White in color"/> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <h2> <span> What Prep Is Needed? </span> </h2> <p> <span> <br/> The most important part of the process is the planning stage. The first step to a successful job is identifying what needs to be done, and what products and equipment will be needed.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> If your deck has never been stained before and doesn’t have any mold or mildew build upon it, then you will be able to get away with doing a light rinse with a nonabrasive chemical (diluting water with dish soap works great), and then giving it a light sanding prior to staining.  </span> </p> <h2> <span> <br/> Pick Your Stain </span> </h2> <p> <span> <br/> Next, it’s time to decide what stain you want to use on your deck. It can be tempting to purchase a cheap stain and save anywhere from 50-70 dollars a gallon, but once you realize how much work it is to do properly, you’ll be thankful you got a good quality product. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Another option to consider is what type of stain will you need? Do you have a nearly new deck that you want to maintain the look of? A transparent or semi-transparent stain will be best. Do you want a solid and opaque look? Then a solid stain will be the right choice for you.  </span> </p> <h2> <span> <br/> How To Apply The Stain </span> </h2> <p> <span> <br/> Now comes the fun part, applying your stain! The prep is done, the supplies are on-site, and now all that’s left is finishing the job. There are a lot of ways to go about staining your deck, and truthfully, there is no one way that is far better than any other.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> We find that the best way to apply an even, thick coat of stain is to use a sprayer to get the stain on the decks surface, and then back brush it with a thick paintbrush. We like this method because it applies more stain than we’d be able to if we used a brush but still gives the deck a nice natural look. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Sometimes, we won’t spray the product on, but rather use an applicator pad connected to our painter’s pole, following over the stain with a thick brush. The most important thing to remember is to back brush your stain regardless of what method you use! </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> <br/> <br/> Do you need a hand staining your deck in Ottawa?

It’s a good question, and secretly you’re hoping the answer is no! If you’ve been researching </span> </span> <a href="https://www.clearcutpainting.ca/blog/how-to-stain-your-deck" target="_blank"> how to stain your deck </a> <span> , you’ve probably seen that there is a lot more work that goes into it than just throwing some stain on. If we can get away with no sanding, that would save a lot of time and energy, but the reality is it is one of the most crucial steps to ensuring a professional finish. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> What we should really be asking is what steps do I need to take to sand my deck properly. As Ottawa’s best deck staining and refinishing company, we’ve worked on hundreds of decks all over Ottawa, and we will tell you what we’ve learned along the way! <br/> </span> </p> </div> <div> <img src="https://irp.cdn-website.com/8ba4e1b7/dms3rep/multi/Sanding.JPEG" alt="The Deck needed to be stained. Deck After Sanding" title=""/> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <h2> <span> Your Deck Is New </span> </h2> <p> <span> <br/> You’ve got a new deck installed, and now you want to give it the final touches and have it looking great, and you want to protect it from the harsh elements.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> It can be tempting to skip the sanding stage when you’re staining your deck, especially if your deck is new. Sanding is meant to smooth surfaces, and your new deck is already really smooth! Well, although smoothing the surface is a great reason to sand, it is not the only reason we need to sand our decks. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Sanding a new, already smooth wooden deck will open the wood grain, which both cleans the deck and gets it ready to accept a new stain. Ensuring that the stain you’re applying will soak into the wood is crucial for maximizing the life of the stain, and extending the time before you experience flaking or peeling, depending on what type of stain you buy.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> We recommend using higher grit sandpaper when sanding a new deck, as we don’t want to be too intrusive on the new wood, we just want to open up the grains a bit. We typically use around 120 grit sandpaper on the new decks that we stain, and find anything around that level of grit is good enough to get a great-looking, long-lasting finish! </span> </p> <h2> <span> <br/> Your Deck Has Never Been Stained </span> </h2> <p> <span> <br/> Perhaps you built your deck a few years ago, but never stained or sealed it. You’ve likely noticed it has turned grey due to sun exposure, or maybe it has accumulated some mold and mildew on spots where it was shaded. Whatever the case, sanding is absolutely necessary for this instance.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Due to the aging and weathering from years of unprotected exposure, sanding has more benefits than just opening up the grain of the wood, as we talked about in the previous example. In this scenario, we need to get rid of any weathered wood, rid the deck of any organic growth (pressure washing may be required, but we’ll make another post going over that), and smoothening out rough parts so that when we apply the stain to the deck it feels like new.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> We recommend using slightly more coarse sandpaper here because we need to remove a little bit more of the top layer of the deck that has been exposed to the sun and other elements. Usually, we start off with a 60 grit sandpaper, and if required we’ll go over it once more with an 80-100 grit sandpaper, although the second passing is not always required. </span> </p> <h2> <span> <br/> Removing Stain </span> </h2> <p> <span> <br/> The last popular scenario people find themselves in is having to remove an old stain so they can apply a new deck stain. It should be noted that although you can remove an old stain with sanding, it is often more practical and effective to remove stain with a chemical stripper and pressure washer.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Removing old deck stains by sanding is tedious work. It requires a minimum of three passes with a sander. First, using 30 grit sandpaper to remove all the stain, then following over that with a 60-80 grit sandpaper to restore the grains of the wood. Lastly, you will need to go over it once more with a 120 grit sandpaper, as the deck will likely still be a bit chewed up even after an 80 grit pass. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> We never use this method to remove old deck stains and to rejuvenate a deck, as we have more consistent results pressure washing, followed by doing a light sanding. </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> <br/> Do you need a hand sanding and staining your deck in Ottawa?
