Painting vs Staining – What Is Best For Your Deck

Posted on March 31, 2021

Your deck can be the centerpiece of many activities. Parties, barbeques, even drinking your morning coffee. To make sure this part of your home is kept in good condition, many have turned to staining their wooden deck. However, if you’re just looking for a fresh exterior makeover, you could have a professional paint your deck as well. Below we will discuss the differences of both painting services.

Why Should I Have My Deck Stained?

When staining your deck, you can increase its lifespan significantly. Staining helps to prevent rot and insect infestations. Staining also can ensure that your deck’s wood is protected from moisture. Staining also prevents damages that can be brought on by various weather conditions that could bring about costly damages.

A good looking deck can also enhance the appearance and value of your home. A nice stain can showcase the grain of your wood. There are all sorts of stain colors to choose from. Our team of contractors can apply clear and solid colored stains. Contact us to request an estimate on your next deck staining service.

The Benefits Of Painting Your Deck

One of the most prominent reasons homeowners choose to have their decks professionally painted is because painting your deck increases the amount of colors you can choose from. A painted deck will typically last longer than a stained deck depending on the amount of foot traffic and wear and tear, sometimes lasting up to more than 10 years. Most paints are easier to clean than stains as well. However, you can always have a pressure washing service completed to get rid of hard to remove dirt and bacteria.
