3 things you should know before tackling a DIY painting and staining project.

As a homeowner, you’ve probably attempted a few DIY tasks in and around your home. For the most part, these tasks are fairly easy but when it comes to painting and staining wood surfaces, it requires a little finesse. So, as an amateur do-it-yourselfer, how do you tackle such a project?

• Start with the basics. You should know how to prep your wood surfaces and what kind of paint and stain you should be using – especially if you're planning a project for your decks. You also need to be aware of prevailing temperatures as they can affect the end result of all your hard work.
• You should know how to do minor repairs such as fixing chipped or scratched wood. Just painting or staining over damaged wood will not cover any defects. It may, in fact, emphasize them.
• This one's a no-brainer: you should know the tools that you're going to need for your job. Also, make sure you only get the highest quality of supplies (such as General Finishes paint and stain). You can easily find everything you need for your DIY project at your nearby hardware store.

The point here is that painting and staining wood is not as straightforward as most people think. Get yourself high-quality products like General Finishes wood stains and paints, understand the job you are working on and you'll undoubtedly create a space, inside or outside, that you can be proud of.
