Accepted Answer

In Ottawa’s climate, most decks should be re-stained every 2-3 years with semi-transparent stain, or every 3-5 years with solid stain. Clear sealers need reapplication annually. The frequency depends on sun exposure, foot traffic, and product quality. South-facing decks exposed to full sun need more frequent maintenance.

Accepted Answer

If your home was built before 1990, there is a possibility your ceiling texture contains asbestos. The only way to know for certain is through lab testing – you cannot identify asbestos visually. We arrange professional testing before any removal work begins. If asbestos is present, certified abatement contractors handle the removal safely.
