Decks

Let Scheffler Painting Deck Out Your Deck!
Scheffling the Deck

​​

When deck staining is done properly, a deck floor can last 1-3 years. Railings and other vertical surfaces may last anywhere from 1-8 years. The big difference between the life of the two surfaces is that horizontal surfaces hold more weathering versus vertical surfaces which don't take quite a direct hit from sun, rain, snow and traffic.
 

Scheffler Painting always power washes your deck with their proprietary solution that removes mold and cleans your deck. Once the solution dries, 1 to 2 good coats of a proper, high quality deck stain is applied.

Lasting Results

 

​​There are 2 types of deck stain you can use; semi-transparent lets you see the wood graining while still having a tone to it, or a solid stain, which can be any color and actually covers the wood grains and coats the deck surfaces much like a house paint would.
 

In most cases a semi-transparent stain will last about half as long as a solid stain; however, a semi-transparent stain will just fade over time, versus a solid stain which will start peeling once the stain begins to fail.
