Exterior Painting Includes Wood Staining and Sealing

Wooden decks are a beautiful addition to a home, but they do require attention.

When homeowners think of potential exterior painting projects, they typically consider the home itself first. However, many painting contractors offer deck and wood staining for the outside features in addition to general painting services.

Sometimes, areas exposed to the elements need more attention than a simple painting since older homes, especially, have a variety of wood embellishments and features. Here are some ideas for potential projects for exterior painting that can also incorporate wood staining:

Decks

Wooden decks are a beautiful addition to a home, but they do require attention. Homeowners can explore stain and waterproofing services for their decks to enhance the wood grain and ensure the deck is splinter-free. Stains and waterproof finishes protect the wood from moisture, slowing the wood’s deterioration so homeowners can enjoy the wood for many years.

Outdoor furniture

Wood furniture for decks and gardens has an appealing aesthetic. Help it maintain its beauty with professional wood staining. With the proper treatment, wooden furniture can withstand whatever Mother Nature throws at it. Homeowners can also paint the furniture for a pop of color in the yard.

Playground equipment

Homeowners who have invested in a wood playground set can help extend its lifespan and keep it safe to play on with staining and waterproofing. A professional painting contractor can prepare the wooden surfaces and apply a waterproofing stain to enhance the wood’s beauty, ensuring it remains durable and does not weaken under the pressures of damp weather.

Fences

Staining can give wooden fences a boost, setting them apart from the neighbors’ stock wood fencing material. Additionally, the right stain protects a fence from the elements.

Doors

Attractive hardwood doors can be left unpainted when homeowners choose a stain and varnish finish. These products enhance the wood’s natural beauty and offer an attractive entrance to the home.
