Benefits of Fence Painting & Deck Staining Services
Deck staining and fence painting are some of the best ways to enhance the look and feel of your exterior. Some of the many benefits of our fence and deck staining services include:
Boosts Natural Wood Beauty
Staining your deck or fence is an optimal way to amplify the innate allure of your wood.
Helps Protect Against Wood Rot
Applying stain blocks wood pores, preventing rot, decay, and the growth of mold.
Counteracts Fading
Over time, wood becomes discolored and faded due to weather conditions, making stain protection crucial.
The Differences Between Paint and Stain
The main distinction between paint and stain is that paint sets on the surface, while stain delves deep into the surface. We can advise on which is the best option for your deck or fence. Here's a comparison between paint and stain:
- Stain highlights the intrinsic charm and grain of your lumber, while paint gives a unique color finish to the surface.
- Stains are often semi-transparent or transparent to allow the natural grain visibility, while paint hides the grain.
- The lifespan of a stain is shorter, with a need for reapplication every few years. Paint usually lasts longer without chipping or fading.
- Painting requires sanding and priming the wood, while stain can be applied directly onto clean wood.
Preserving the Aesthetic of Wood Deck Paint & Stain
To ensure the vibrancy of your color, we offer ongoing fence and deck stain and paint maintenance services. These services prolong the lifespan of your stain or paint. We suggest an annual professional pressure wash and touchups of fresh stain and paint layers every one to four years. We offer continuous fence and deck stain and paint maintenance services to keep your color vibrant. Our maintenance services extend the lifespan of your stain or paint.
How to Select the Perfect Paint Color
We provide an extensive palette of paint choices for your deck or fence. When choosing the perfect paint color, consider the effect of direct sunlight on your deck or fence. Darker shades of deck paint are more effective at concealing dirt or stains. Our team will assist you in choosing a paint color that meets your aesthetic aspirations for your outdoor living area and will last for years to come.
How to Choose a Gorgeous Stain Finish
We supply fence and deck stains in a variety of finishes to harmonize with your style. We can help you choose the ideal stain for your exterior living space. Here are the types of stain finishes we offer:
Transparent or Translucent
A transparent stain finish reveals most of the natural wood grain. These stains are typically oil-based, ensuring deep penetration into the wood panels.
Semi-Transparent
Semi-transparent stain finishes give a hint of the wood grain. These water-based finish types do not require the removal of earlier stain layers.
Solid
Solid stain finishes cover the entire wood grain. These water-based finishes are available in any color.
