Deck Staining Vs. Painting & What You Need to Know
Posted on April 8, 2021
Now that spring has completely sprung, it’s time to give some much needed attention to your outdoor deck. Luckily, CertaPro Painters®️ of Mobile and Baldwin counties have the skill and expertise you need to stain and paint multiple outdoor surfaces. Below we are letting you know the key differences between deck staining and painting services.
Staining Services Maintain a Natural Wood Design
One of the reasons that many are a fan of deck staining is because this allows the natural grain of your wood to shine through. There are also various shades and colors of wood stain available, so that you can still have variety. While a stain can not fully cover imperfections on your deck, it will still add an extra layer of protection to its surface.
Stain Can be More Cost-effective
When you decide to have your deck stained instead of painted, it can also be more affordable. On average, most brands of staining products will cost less than a can of paint. It is important to note that staining products will not need a primer or any additional coating to adhere to your outdoor wood surfaces as well.
Deck Paint Color Options are Limitless
One of the biggest bonuses of having your deck professionally painted is that you have tons of color options. Our experienced painting contractors only trust paint from reputable brands like Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore. If you need help choosing the right paint color for your deck or other outdoor surface, our team can assist you with that as well!
A Deck Painting Service Will Last Longer
In terms of maintenance and aging, paint is the clear winner of the two. It can be cleaned easily on your own and if you need a repainting service, the process isn’t very extensive. Most outdoor paint is durable and can last for years. However, our painters in Mobile can also provide you with an excellent warranty on your deck painting service.
