Frequently Asked Questions
Should I paint or stain my deck or fence?
Stain is a good choice when you want to preserve more of the natural wood grain, while paint creates a more solid, uniform finish. The best option depends on the condition of the wood, the look you want, and how the surface is used.
How often should decks and fences be restained or repainted?
Timing depends on the type of finish, sun exposure, moisture, weather conditions, and the condition of the wood. When the color begins to fade, the finish wears unevenly, or the wood starts absorbing moisture more easily, it may be time for maintenance.
Do you prepare the wood before staining or painting?
Yes. Proper preparation is an important part of the process. Depending on the condition of the surface, preparation may include cleaning, sanding, scraping, or other steps needed to create a better foundation for the new finish.
