In Tennessee, outdoor living spaces are more than just a bonus—they’re a way of life. Whether you’re hosting cookouts on the back deck or enjoying a peaceful morning by your garden fence, these areas deserve the same care and attention as your home’s interior. That’s where professional staining comes in.
At Michael’s Painting, we help homeowners throughout Rutherford County and beyond protect and enhance their outdoor structures through expert deck and fence staining.
Why Staining Matters
Decks and fences are constantly exposed to the elements—sun, rain, humidity, and temperature swings. Without proper care, wood can fade, crack, warp, or rot. Staining helps in two powerful ways:
1. Protection from the Elements
-
UV Defense – Quality stains shield wood from harsh sunlight, preventing graying and fading.
-
Moisture Barrier – Stains repel water, reducing the risk of warping, splitting, and mold growth.
-
Insect Deterrence – Some stains help seal cracks and crevices that insects use to nest.
2. Enhanced Appearance
-
Staining enhances the natural grain of the wood, bringing out its beauty while giving you the ability to choose from a variety of tones—from rich mahogany to warm cedar.
-
It gives older decks and fences a renewed look without the expense of full replacement.
How Often Should You Stain?
In Tennessee’s climate, decks and fences typically need to be stained every 2–3 years, depending on sun exposure, moisture, and the type of stain used. If you notice the color fading, wood starting to feel rough, or water soaking in rather than beading up, it’s time for a refresh.
Transparent, Semi-Transparent, or Solid: What’s Right for You?
We’ll help you choose the right stain based on your wood type, desired look, and exposure level:
-
Transparent stains show the most natural wood grain.
-
Semi-transparent stains offer a balance of color and wood visibility.
-
Solid stains provide bold color and strong coverage—ideal for older wood or bold style changes.
