Vinyl over original siding
Much of Everett was resided in the 70s and 80s. Whether to paint the vinyl, replace it, or go back to the wood underneath is a genuine decision.
What Decks Need and When They Need It
What drives the price
Condition decides everything. Bare or lightly weathered wood takes stain readily and the job is a wash, dry and coat. A deck with a failing film finish has to be stripped or sanded back to bare first, and on a large deck that stripping can cost more than the staining that follows it. In Everett specifically, the work is mostly two- and three-family houses, and almost no room between buildings shapes how we schedule and stage it.
How the work is sequenced
Wash, then dry properly — we use a moisture meter rather than a guess, because a deck that looks dry on the surface can still be wet inside. Repairs and fastener work next, then stain applied out of direct sun so the carrier does not flash off before the pigment can wick into the grain.
Where it usually goes wrong
Staining wood that is still wet inside is the single most common mistake, and the stain sheds within a season because it never penetrated. The second is choosing a film-forming product on a horizontal surface that gets full sun and standing water — it looks excellent for two years and then peels in sheets.
How long it takes
Two to four days for a typical deck including wash and dry-out. We will not stain within 48 hours of rain regardless of how the surface looks, and we would rather move a date than coat a wet board.
