Reasons to Consider Painting Your Deck

deckThere are many benefits to having your deck painted. One of the reasons many prefer painting is because of the almost endless variety of colors to choose from. A few deck color trends include but are not limited to gray, tan, white, blue, and even certain shades of green. If you are unsure what color would look best on your deck, we also provide each of our clients with a free color consultation service.

Another bonus of paint is that it will usually last longer than stains will. However, paint is typically a bigger initial monetary expense than stain. You will have to consider which option is best for your home based on your current needs. In the long run you will be saving money due to how much longer a painting service will last.

The Benefits of Staining Your Deck

Staining your deck can also be very visually appealing, and bring new life to your deck and other outdoor surfaces. The primary reason that some homeowners prefer a staining service is due to the more natural look it can give a wooden deck. Some stains allow you to easily see the original grains in your wood. The stain itself can also be much less expensive than a professional-grade paint. It is important to note that If your deck has already been stained, the original stain will need to be removed prior to restaining.
