To keep them resistant against the elements, protect them with a fresh coat of stain. Scripture Painting provides superior deck, railing, and fence staining services that last.
Staining and Protection
Deck staining involves applying a protective coating to your exterior wood surfaces, instantly enhancing their visual appeal and extending their life. Beyond creating a beautiful, inviting outdoor space, staining safeguards your deck from weathering, moisture, and rot, preventing graying, splintering, and warping.
This process also significantly boosts your home's curb appeal and property value. For the best, long-lasting results, professional deck staining ensures proper preparation, even application, and high-quality materials, guaranteeing durable beauty and protection against the elements.
The Proper Process For Deck Staining
1
Remove or cover plants and deck furniture. You’ll need to remove pots and pull back and cover any foliage so that you have full access and no debris will fall onto the deck while you’re staining it.
2
Clean the deck surface. Just like painting, staining a deck requires it to be free of dirt, debris, mold, and mildew. Make sure to follow the instructions on cleaning product labels for best results. Rinse thoroughly by power washing and let dry for 3-7 days.
3
Choose an appropriate stain and/or sealer (one that can fight against UV fading and discoloration). Apply the stain using either a good quality pad applicator, brush, roller or sprayer. Again, follow the instructions on the product label for best results. If needed, apply a second coat of stain for a deeper, more saturated finish. Wait until the stain is completely dry before applying sealer if desired.
4
Keep the deck clean. To keep your freshly stained composite deck looking good, wash it at least twice a year and apply a maintenance coat of stain or paint when necessary.
