What is exterior staining?

Exterior staining is the application stains to a wooden siding. Stain is a liquid substance applied to wood that penetrates the surface and imparts a rich color to wood. Wood stains can be water-based or oil-based.

The main difference between stain and paint is that paint settles on top of the surface instead of seeping into the surface. Paint needs to be applied on surfaces that should be primed first, while stain does not need a primer. In wood staining, only one coat of stain is typically applied, whereas paints take more time to apply as they need several coats of application.

In addition to enhancing wood’s natural color and grain, stains seal off the wood’s pores, preventing it from taking moisture and adding a layer of protection from the sun’s UV rays, reducing or preventing discoloration, shrinking, or warping.

Here are the following benefits of hiring exterior staining services:

• Protection from the elements – When wood is not treated, it is exposed to weather elements, such as sunlight and moisture, causing your wooden siding to shrink, warp, and rot. It is also vulnerable to insects and pests, leading to further rot and deterioration. Staining will protect your wooden siding from the harsh weather conditions and insect infestation, preserving its look and integrity.
• Enhanced curb appeal – Staining your home’s exterior can be a cost-effective but valuable investment, especially from a resale perspective. Hiring professional residential painters in Livermore, CA to apply a fresh coat of stain to your home’s exterior surfaces is one way to give your home the extra “oomph” that potential buyers would love to check out. Not only does staining protect your wood siding from the external elements, but it also enhances the wood’s natural color and grain, making your home very attractive to buyers, visitors, onlookers.
• Extended life to your wood siding – Depending on how often you maintain your wood siding, it typically lasts 20 to 50 years. But general wear and tear, extreme weather conditions, and insect infestation can age your wooden siding quickly. So, staining your wood siding guarantees protection and extension of its useful life.
• Preservation of your wood siding – Without a layer of protection such as paint or stain, your wood siding will be more vulnerable to shrinking, warping, mold and mildew, and rot. If your siding experiences wood rot, there’s no other way you can do but replace it, which can lead to damage to your home’s structure and add another expense. Regularly staining your home’s exterior will give your siding a reliable defense against moisture and UV rays, preventing it from shrinking or rotting.
