3 Reasons Why You Should Paint or Stain Your Deck
Posted on April 27, 2021
The deck of your home goes through a lot of wear and tear. Not only does it have to withstand the turbulent elements that the weather throws at it, but it also serves at the platform for our late-night barbecues and mid-day lunches. Maintaining a deck can be a lot of work, though, and the responsibilities can often fall to the wayside. Our professionals know just how important painting or staining a deck can be. That’s why we have compiled a list of the three most compelling reasons to get your deck into tip-top shape.
Protection from the Elements
The first and most important reason to get your deck painted or stain for the protection that these services provide. The sun does a lot of damage to unprotected decks, especially in a place like Castle Rock. This damage can lead to cracks and overall make your deck much weaker. With a stain or paint job, however, you have an extra layer of protection from the sun.
Additionally, a paint or stain job protects your deck from moisture. With this, your deck is more susceptible to growing mold or mildew and may even grow soft and expand. These repairs can be costly and depreciate the value of your deck. Wood paint is especially good and mitigating this problem.
Make the Deck Last Longer
Adding protection to your deck will make it function for a longer period of time––and look good while doing so! The right stain or paint will help slow the wood from decaying. If your deck is already starting to decay, it can be hard to reverse. However, it is always better to get a late start than no start at all! After all, a weak deck can result in structure collapsation and possible injuries.
Boost Your Curb Appeal
In addition to all of these great reasons surrounding longevity and safety, our last point is simply that a painted or stained deck looks absolutely fantastic. Paint allows the space to look cleaner and gives you a variety of colors to work with, while staining allows you to preserve the original look of the wood. There is something for everyone!
If you ever plan on selling your home, a nice looking deck can make your home value skyrocket. Potential buyers will be able to picture their families out on that deck doing the same great activities you’re doing now. Right now is an especially good time to take on this project since we are in a buyers market!
