Painting vs Staining: What Is Best For Your Deck?
Posted on February 22, 2021
Your deck is often where you will find yourself drinking your morning coffee or having an afternoon barbeque with friends and family. To help preserve this relaxing part of your home, many resort to staining their wood deck. However, if you are simply wanting an exterior refresh, you could have a professional paint your deck as well. Below we are letting in on the differences of each of these painting services.
Why Should I Have My Deck Stained?
When you have your deck stained, you can instantly increase its lifespan. Staining helps to prevent rot and insect infestations. An effective stain can also make sure that your deck does not absorb any moisture. This can protect your deck from many different weather conditions that could eventually cause costly damages if your deck had not been treated.
Another great reason to have your deck stained is that it will enhance your curb appeal. A nice stain can showcase the grain of your wood and make a statement with its appearance. There are multiple stain color options 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
If you decide to go the painting route, you will have many more colors to choose from. This is one reason that many homeowners decide to have their decks professionally painted. Depending on the amount of foot traffic that your outdoor deck sees, a painting service will typically last longer. Sometimes you can go more than 10 years without having to repaint this area.
Paint is also easier to clean when applied to your surface than a lot of stains. However, you can always have a pressure washing service completed to get rid of hard to remove dirt and bacteria.
