When you’re having your entire home maintained or cleaned, you should pay extra attention to your decking. However, some homeowners are having a difficult time deciding whether they should have their decks painted or stained. In today’s blog, the top deck and siding contractors in the Tri-State area, PJ Sullivan Exteriors, helps you with this decision.
Deck painting comes with a lot of benefits. First, it gives your deck a consistent and vibrant color that enhances your exterior’s appearance and curb appeal. You don’t have to worry about refinishing the deck at the moment as long as you’ve applied top-grade paint coating applied by professional painters. You can expect the paint to last as long as ten years before it needs to be reapplied with a fresh coat once again.
In fact, deck and exterior renovation contractors recommend applying a fresh coat of paint to old decks to hide imperfections to enhance your home’s exterior appearance without breaking the bank. It also gives you a chance to try out new colors if you’re tired of your deck’s previous appearance.
Some homeowners choose to go with the deck staining route to protect their decks from weathering caused by the elements. Using high-quality stains can protect your wood grain, preventing moisture from expanding it or making it a breeding ground for mold and causing it to rot. It also gives your deck a vibrant pop that works well for decking options such as cypress, cedar and redwood. It also highlights some of the best attributes of your deck such as the color, graining and the texture while protecting it from UV radiation.
