Precision Builds Confidence
does not hurt to apply an additional
coat of paint or stain, some surfaces
can be properly protected during a
scheduled painting or staining cycle
with only one coat. This judgement
can be made by an industry profes-
sional based on the amount of direct
sunlight the surface receives, age of
the wood, and other unique circum-
stances.
There is no man-made product that
can compare to the natural feel and
beauty found in real wood products.
This is why many communities still
choose to use wooden siding and
trim. Unfortunately, nothing can stop
the inevitable process of wood
decay which makes it exceedingly
important to properly protect all
exterior wooden surfaces during
their lifetime. A timely application
of paint or stain will safeguard the
natural beauty found in a wood
product and prolong its life. With
all of the top paint and stain prod-
ucts available on the market today,
the right product can be found
for every situation, no matter how
unique it may be. The next time
your community is planning a full
exterior painting or staining project,
it will be worthwhile to at least
explore the idea of switching to a
4-5-year schedule. As it is important
with any type of project, make sure
to do a thorough review of project
specifications with multiple industry
professionals to ensure you picked
the right materials and contractor for
the job. n
