Quality deck stain and sealer penetrates the wood grain and seals it. A deck sealer is typically a clear or transparent finish that penetrates the wood and forms a clear protective layer on top. Most often, deck sealer is applied to work in conjunction with deck stain.
Wood stain will never chip or peel or crack. It’s a fact your deck wood swells and shrinks. Here in Bergen, your deck has to contend with the blazing summer sun and freezing winter temperatures. You want to give it room to breathe.
Before you stain your deck, it is best to have the deck cleaned to remove any debris sitting on top of the wood. Our power washing team will clean and sand the deck to remove any remaining stain, sealant, dirt, or grime. Power washing looks easy, but it is a job best done by a professional company. Power washers are powerful tools. We hate coming out to a home to see the damage caused by a DIY power washing project gone wrong. The damage can be extreme and can be equally hard to amend.
Some customers we have spoken with think that a deck sealer and a deck stain are the same product. However, they are not in actuality; they are two different products. Sure, they both share the same purpose in general terms, to preserve and protect the wood of your deck or porch, but there are some significant differences between them.
Most often, we use wood sealers or wood stains to protect exterior wood from the elements. We are talking about decks, wood siding, fences, porches, pergolas, any wood left outside in the elements where you need a protective coating to keep from weathering too fast.
Deck seal helps to lock out moisture and reduce water intrusion. Unwanted moisture can lead to fungal growth and wood rot, so it is crucial in reducing the chances of jeopardizing the wood’s longevity.
Our team will be happy to help you select the ideal wood stain and sealing product for your home!
