Touching Up Exterior Wood Features
January 20, 2017
Exterior features such as posts and exterior doors should be re-stained or resealed every 6-12 months. Tips to remember before re-staining or resealing your exterior wood features.
- Clean exterior of doors and posts with a damp cloth then come back with a dry cloth to remove any dust and dirt that has accumulated on the surfaces.
- If you have glass panes on your doors, be sure to use tape around the edges to protect the glass from the stain or sealer. Blue painters tape is a good tape to use with easy removal. Once you have completed the finish, remove the tape immediately.
- Do not use razor blades or sharp objects to clean the glass or to remove the tape. These items will scratch the glass.
If the front of your home receives a lot of sun exposure, facing the east or west, the exterior wood features may need to be examined more frequently due to fading from the direct sunlight. Any changes to the characteristics of your exterior doors and posts are perfectly normal, only reflecting the natural aging process of the wood elements and should not be considered as defects.
