Considering DIY? Professional Deck Staining Services Produce a Flawless Finish

A home’s deck is a beautiful extension of our house, a lovely area where we can get outside, soak up the outdoors, and relax. We take pride in our home’s deck and porch. When the decking becomes faded and dull, we may consider tackling the job ourselves, refreshing it with stain or paint. There are some essential considerations of whether or not to hire professionals for your Northwest Florida deck staining project.

The question becomes, “Why would I hire a professional company to stain or paint my deck when I could do the job myself?”

Answers to this question are multi-faceted but can be quickly summarized:

1. Professionals produce professional results. Experienced CertaPro Painters® of Northwest Florida team members, have clocked thousands of hours on multiple sites. They use professional equipment, which helps the process go more smoothly and quickly, and the result is a flawless finish. Most of the time, pros go over the decking with two coats when you might not, and there won’t be drips, missed spots, streaks, and other mistakes.
2. Preparation can be grueling work, and the professional crews from CertaPro Painters® will meticulously prepare your deck for the stain. The services involved include: scraping (removing any dirt, gravel, and chipped paint), power washing (to prepare the deck with a clean surface), and sanding if necessary.
3. Professionals can pass savings onto you. Since painting companies buy paint and stain wholesale, you will see considerable savings.
4. Free your time and save your back. You will save yourself the time, effort, labor, and headache of doing all of this work. You can sit back, relax, and know your deck is being restored to its former glory. The wood is preserved and sealed for many years to come.
5. Professionals won’t make mistakes with your wood deck’s natural wood. A pro will thoroughly inspect the wood during the preparation phase, and if there is any rot, mold, or damage, they’ll alert you so that it can be repaired prior to painting or staining. A professional will never simply paint or stain over it, which can be detrimental to the wood.
