A deck in the South takes a lot of abuse from sand, salt, and extreme humidity. Staining your deck is the best way to extend its lifespan while keeping it looking nice. The quality of the products that you use does matter, as does the quality of the painters you hire. Whether you have a deck that needs to be sanded and restained or you are staining a new deck, we are the experts to hire to get the job done right.
We specialize in sanding and refinishing IPE decks with many satisfied Kiawah Island homeowners.
Staining a deck is just one part of the process of keeping your deck looking like new, locking out humidity, reducing warping, and keeping wood weatherproof even through the harshest conditions of the South. What you do to prep a deck - or don’t do - will determine not only how nice it looks; it also affects how long it will last. At Southern Exposure Painting, we have the industry knowledge and expertise for the entire deck staining process and take great care to make sure that you are getting the best from start to finish.
Deck staining isn’t just about maintaining the appeal of your deck; it is also about preserving the deck boards against wood rot and deterioration. Deck staining is also a great way to maintain the natural beauty of the wood so that it shines through, while sealing it limits rot by allowing moisture to escape. Stains also won’t crack or chip as your deck boards expand due to external temperatures throughout the seasons. We offer varying levels of heavy to light staining to ensure that you get the finished look that you are looking for. Deck staining also helps to reduce UV damage, and it provides a less slick surface than paint.
