Deck Staining Services: When It’s Time to Bring In the Pros

Posted on July 31, 2019

The summer is a prime time to head outdoors to enjoy your deck. The fall is also a good time, which means that you have a few months of looking at your deck. Make the time a pleasurable one with a deck that looks beautiful to you and your guests with deck staining services.

The Problem: When Is It Time

One of the most asked questions we receive is, “When do I know it’s time to stain my deck?” The answer isn’t easy to answer. There are many factors to consider when trying to decide if now is the right time.

Color

If the color of the stain is faded and you’re looking more at the natural wood color than the stain, it’s likely time for deck staining. The natural wood that shows through will be sanded down along with the stain that still appears. Once it’s all sanded, the new stain will be applied, so the color is even.

Damage

The deck becomes damaged over time. Usually, it’s the weather that wreaks havoc on it. For instance, rain pounds it, snow sits on it and degrades the wood, or ice leads to cracks. Decks that are starting to show wear and tear should be repaired before staining. The good news is that CertaPro Painters® of Richardson can repair decks before painting it. We offer light carpentry and repairs as part of our painting service.

You may be wondering why we offer this type of service, and it’s simply because we want the painting results to look good. One way for it to look good is to ensure the foundation (the deck) is smooth and free from blemishes. Paint can only hide so much!

Change in Color

Some people simply want to change the color of the deck. They may not want it so light anymore. Instead, they may want a darker stain. This is an excellent time for deck staining services.

DIY

You tried to do it yourself, and well, it didn’t quite end up looking as good as you wanted. On the flip side, you started and maybe you just don’t want to finish it. We understand! It’s a lot of work and well, it takes a professional to make it look really nice.
