Placeholder ImageWhy You Should Get Deck Staining Done Regularly If you don’t know why deck staining is so important, read on to find out why it’s needed.

While decks are designed to be durable and withstand all kinds of brutal weather conditions, there is only so much that a deck can take before it starts to get worn down. Fortunately, you can help improve the strength of your deck by getting it stained. Deck staining is a crucial part of deck maintenance that is designed to maintain the structural integrity and beauty of your deck for a long time. If you don’t know why deck staining is so important, read on to find out why it’s needed.

Boosts Your Deck’s Aesthetic Appeal

Wooden decks are made to look amazing, but this amazing look can only last if you take good care of your deck. If you stain the wood, you bring out all of your deck’s natural beauty and help it look like new. There are various tints you can select, meaning there is sure to be one that matches your house seamlessly.

Deck Staining Protects Your Deck From Sun Damage

Decks are vulnerable to damage from the sun’s ultraviolet rays, even when your deck is somewhere that has some shade. If you don’t treat your wood, it won’t be long before you start seeing it crack, splinter, and warp. The sun can also cause your deck’s color to fade away and make your deck less appealing.

Fortunately, this can be amended with a little deck staining. As long as your deck is stained, it will be much tougher for sunlight to penetrate your deck’s wood and cause damage.

Lowers Moisture

The sun isn’t the only thing that deck staining keeps away; it also shields your deck against the adverse effects of water exposure. If your deck takes in too much moisture, it will begin to develop mildew and mold, both of which not only look unappealing, but also pose a serious health hazard to people around your house. Wood that has too much moisture will also start expanding, and this will lead to you needing repairs that are rather expensive.

If you stain your deck regularly, you can keep moisture from piling up too much. This will preserve the wellbeing of your deck, and the health of everyone who uses it.

We could not be more pleased with the entire process and outcome of our experience with Albaugh & Sons. From the timely turnaround on coming out to give us an estimate, to the flexibility on adjusting our proposal, and to the quick and professional installation itself. I would highly recommend Albaugh & Sons to anyone in their area of serviceability.

So great to work with. Have had the pleasure of working with both sons who were knowledgeable and courteous. The entire process was easy from estimate to completion of my new deck. Both arrived on time, had my estimate for both deck and basement remodel in a couple of days. Danny, the project manager arrived on time and explained the plans, the work crew were amazing. Old deck demolished and beautiful new composite in its place in less than 2 days. Tiffany, the office manager is prompt in responding to all emails with courteous knowledgeable answers. They make you feel like you are their only customer. Look forward to working with them for my basement remodel. I 100% recommend this company.

I had a beautiful deck built almost 2 years ago. I called yesterday about a few items that have come apart such as the pvc outside corners on the rim/ band board etc. The company was very responsive and ready and eager to help. Because of this, they have made a customer for life! Not only will you get an amazing product, but it appears you get a lifetime of amazing customer service!! 100 out of 5 stars!

We needed a fence as fast as possible for 5 rescue dogs that we took on. Albaugh and Sons was able to provide a great quote and a speedy installation. My wife and I love the new fence. It has literally improved our day to day lives by being able to let the dogs run free in the back. The materials were perfect and high quality. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

I hired Albaugh and Sons to tear out our old deck and replace it with a new composite deck/ screened porch. The front office was a pleasure to deal with and kept my wife and I informed on everything. The crew did an amazing job every step of the way. I was especially impressed with their finish work. The attention to detail was impressive! What I also liked Albaugh and Sons is they had a project manager (Danny) who would occasionally pop over and answer questions and would also keep me updated on progress. I would highly recommend hiring Albaugh and Sons for any of your fence/ deck / home improvement needs.

We are very pleased with the work done by Albaugh and sons. We had them replace our side porch and they did excellent work and built it to our request. Also had them install a three tier rail fence around our property. It is excellent and looks great. We thank Danny and his deck crew and George and his fence crew for their excellent work. I recommend them for any projects you need done. Thank you very much!!
