When To Book An Exterior Paint Job In Ottawa

Painting A Porch In Ottawa

As spring is quickly approaching in Ottawa, and the snow starts to melt, a lot of homeowners are considering getting their home’s exterior painted. But when is the right time to ask for an estimate, and how do you go about doing it?


 When Can I Book An Exterior Job In Ottawa?


At Clear Cut Painting, we love it when customers take an initiative and plan their paint job ahead of time. Requesting an
exterior painting estimate even as early as March can be a great way to secure your spot in a painting company's busy season. It gives both you and the painting contractor enough time to properly plan your exterior paint job, and ensure that it is done on time, and during the proper weather conditions. Typically, Ottawa painters will start painting exteriors around the middle of the spring. Depending on the weather, you can expect your painting project to start around mid-May.

Non-Peeling Stain vs Peeling Stain: What's The Difference? As a company that focuses primarily on deck and fence staining, we have a lot of experience working with all different kinds of stains in the Ottawa area. 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. What Makes A Stain Peel? 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.
