How We Handle Staining Services in Kamloops
Kamloops decks and fences take a lot of sun. Environment Canada records about 303 hours of bright sunshine in a typical July, and July afternoons average about 29 degrees Celsius. Stain that goes on too hot can dry too fast and leave lap marks. Rain is light, about 278 millimeters of rain and melted snow a year, but about 63 centimeters of snow still falls each winter.
We stain decks, fences, outdoor wood structures and fine woodwork. After a visit and an itemized quote, we confirm colors and dates. Then we prep the wood with sanding and masking, so stain only goes where you want it. We leave the site clean each evening and finish with a walkthrough before final payment.

Local Knowledge
Stain timing for Kamloops heat and dry wood
Both big paint makers warn about direct sun. Benjamin Moore says stain that dries too fast can leave lap marks, and it suggests staining when the deck is in shade. Sherwin-Williams gives a safe range of 50 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit, about 10 to 32 Celsius, and says never to stain in direct sunlight. Kamloops afternoons pass 30 degrees Celsius about 33 times a year, so early or late hours often suit.
Wood has to be dry, too. Benjamin Moore's test is to sprinkle water on the boards. If it beads up, the wood is not ready for stain. Sherwin-Williams says to avoid staining the day after a rainstorm, and Benjamin Moore wants a dry forecast for at least 36 hours. Kamloops logs thunderstorms about 13 times a year, mostly in summer, so we watch the sky.
