Staining Services Embrace a Natural Feel
One of the reasons that many are fond of deck staining is because this allows the natural grain of your wood to shine through. There are a wide variety of shades and colors of wood stain available on today’s market. While a stain can not fully cover imperfections on your deck, it will still add an extra layer of protection to its surface and help your deck last longer.
Stain Can be More Cost-effective in the Long Run
When you decide to have your deck stained instead of painted, it can 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.
Deck Paint Color Options are Endless
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!
Deck Painting is Long Lasting
In terms of maintenance and aging, paint is the clear winner of your two options for deck coverage. Paint 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 Rochester Southeast can also provide you with an excellent warranty on your deck painting service.
