Deck Painting & Staining Services

Your deck is a major part of your home. It’s where you spend warm summer evenings relaxing with your family and weekends sharing a barbeque with your friends and neighbors. You want the material of your deck to last as long as possible and to weather summer storms as well as winter elements. The best way to protect your deck is to have it stained on a regular basis. The deck staining professionals at Sunpainting have helped countless homeowners keep their decks weather-resistant and visually appealing.

Signs It's Time To Restain Your Deck

Homeowners should re-stain their decks periodically. The lifespan of your deck stain will depend on several different factors, including:

The elements: Direct sunlight is the biggest threat to your deck because it can cause the stain to dry out and weather much faster. Rain can also cause damage, especially if your deck is not treated. The wood can soak up the water, and when the temperature cools, it can freeze, causing cracks. With each season cycle, your deck can become a little weaker.

Foot traffic: Once you have applied a good deck stain, typical use of your deck will not begin to show signs of wear for several months. Gradually, the stain will begin to wear as the small particles of dirt beneath people’s shoes rub on the deck’s surface like sandpaper.

When is it time to reapply the deck stain?

Your deck stain’s full protection will only last for three or four years, but to prolong its effect, you can apply another coat after two years. However, it is better for your deck not to apply too many coats of stain. After four years, you should remove the old stain and apply two fresh coats. This will strengthen and revitalize the wood.
