Painting vs Staining: What is the difference?

Your deck is often one of your go-to places for enjoying outdoor time with family and friends during the warmer months. To help preserve this wonderful 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 CertaPro Painters®️ of Nashville North and Bowling Green are letting in on the differences of each of these specialty painting services.

Reasons to Have Your Deck Stained

When you have your deck stained, you can instantly increase its lifespan. Staining can also help to prevent rot and insect infestations. An effective stain will prevent your deck from absorbing any moisture. This will protect your deck from many different weather conditions that could eventually cause costly damages if your deck had not been previously treated.

Another reason to consider having your deck stained is that it will instantly increase your curb appeal. A pretty stain can showcase the grain of your wood, and make a statement with its overall appearance. There are multiple stain color options to choose from. Our team of painting contractors can apply clear and solid colored stains. Contact us to request a free estimate on your next deck staining project.

Reasons to Paint Your Deck

If you decide to go the painting route, you will have an almost endless option of 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 each season, a painting service will typically last longer too.

In addition to lasting a long time, paint is also easier to clean when applied to your surface than a lot of stains will be. However, you can always have a pressure washing service completed to get rid of hard to remove dirt and bacteria. Luckily, our painting contractors can provide you with this specialty service as well.
