Deck Painting & Staining: What’s the difference?
Posted on April 29, 2022
Now that spring has arrived, it is time to start checking those outdoor renovation projects off of your to-do list. One of the many ways you can increase the exterior appeal of your home is by renovating your deck and other outdoor spaces. Here at CertaPro Painters® of Ottawa, we can provide you with a variety of exterior painting services to repair and upgrade your deck, like painting and staining. Continue reading below to learn how each of these services are different.
Pros of Staining Your Deck
Staining your deck can 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.
Pros of Painting Your Deck
There 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.
