Deck Staining in West Roxbury, Boston MA
Penetrating stain soaks into the grain and fades instead of peeling. Solid film finishes peel and then need stripping.
On West Roxbury properties
Porches, decks and exterior stairs in West Roxbury take the full freeze-thaw cycle. Much of the neighborhood was resided mid-century. Painting it is possible with the right product, but colour depth has a hard limit before panels warp. Structure gets checked before any finish goes down.
The way we work it
Penetrating stain soaks into the grain and fades instead of peeling. Solid film finishes peel and then need stripping.
Penetrating semi-transparent or semi-solid stain, not a film-forming finish. Penetrating stain fades and recoats cleanly; film finishes peel and then need stripping before you can do anything at all.
Common failure we see
Solid stain on a horizontal deck surface. It looks great for two years and then peels in sheets, and stripping a peeling deck costs more than the original job.
