If you have a wood feature on your property, like a deck or fence, choosing the stain can be daunting. There are tons of options out there, and there’s more to consider than just aesthetics. However, seeking the help of a trusted staining company, such as us at Capital Staining LLC, can make the process easier.
Here is a quick guide to help you make an informed decision that will fit your style preferences while protecting your investment:
- Consider the Existing Exterior. Your home already has a color palette, so try to choose a stain that complements what’s already there. We often suggest colors like cedar, pecan, honey, and other natural shades for more traditional home styles, while those with contemporary homes might find that bolder stains that add contrast are a good fit.
- Highlight the Natural Beauty. As a staining company, we’re big fans of how stain brings out the natural grain and texture of wood. Depending on what type of wood you have, you may want to use rich shades that allow the unique features of the wood to really come through or something more subtle that helps it flow seamlessly with the background.
- Consider Maintenance. In general, darker stains often require slightly less maintenance since they can hide dirt better than light stains. Selecting a stain and seal brand with a good durability reputation is also important – we like Stain & Seal Experts, which is made in America and is extremely high quality.
- Get Professional Help. The truth is that even if you have a high-quality stain that you love, you need an expert application to get good results. A staining company like ours has the experience and equipment to ensure you don’t have drips, patchy color, or other blemishes on your newly stained wood.
