Deck / Fence / Wood Substrate Refinishing

	What to Expect from Baseline Painting:
Deck / Fence / Wood Substrate Refinishing
Color Selection:
The first step is to decide what colors you would like to stain your deck or fence. Stain swatches are available for viewing and pickup at your local Sherwin Williams and Kwal paint stores. Matching the existing stain on your deck or fence can be done by taking in a board or the can of stain itself into a Sherwin Williams or Kwal paint store. We require a confirmation email from you to be sent to Baseline stating the approval of the stain match before we start your staining project.
Scheduling:
Baseline will schedule your stain project start date after receiving your colors and price confirmation on our color selection form. Our office staff will always make our best efforts to keep your original project schedule, but at times we may move your start date due to weather or other unforseen circumstances.
Before We Start:
The homeowner must perform some miscellaneous duties outside home to prepare for the crew arrival. Trees, bushes, shrubs, and any other vegetation that are on or close to the deck or fence should be cut and trimmed back so the painters can perform their work. Please remove all wall hangings, decorations, and other outdoor accessories from the exterior of the deck and fence area. The above miscellaneous duties must be completed before Baseline begins your stain project. We can aid in the removal and covering of heavy items such as grills and or patio furniture upon request. If you have pets, we ask that you keep them inside or in an area outside of the home away from the areas being stained or painted.
Start Date & What To Expect:
1.) Power Washing- Is the first step of preparing your deck or fence for stain, it’s a medium to light rinse that removes dust and light dirt. Cob webs & loose dirt may remain so our painters will wipe those areas down by hand before staining.2.) Prep-Work- We scrape any loose stain off the deck or fence and hammer in loose nails. We can sand all or part of the wood substrate and replace rotted boards, but this must be discussed, then listed on your Proposal/Agreement form through your estimator. 3.) Staining - Baseline applies stain using brushes, rollers and in some cases an airless spray machine according to the product and the specifications of your project. (For more information on our products (CLICK HERE) 4.) Clean-up- Our crews will perform a light daily clean-up during our staining process and upon completion remove any other plastic, tape and debris from your deck and fence area. 5.) Final Walk Through- Our crew leader will walk your deck or fence area with you and verify their completion. If any areas require touch-up they will all be completed at that time. Our crew leader will present a simple completion form for you to check-off and sign. 6.) Payment - Payment is due in full at time of walk through unless other arrangements were made with Baseline Painting in writing.
