Decks, beams, and exterior-stained wood doors and windows with UV varnish look great when new, but without maintenance the color fades, water seeps in causing rot, and termites attack — making repairs far more expensive. A fact your designer, architect, or ads won’t mention.

Maintaining your wood has many benefits. 

Regular Staining:

- Preserves the wood’s natural color and beauty

- Protects against water damage, cracking, and rot

- Blocks termite and insect intrusion

- Requires only simple upkeep: light sanding + one quick recoat

- Saves money by avoiding costly stripping and full refinishing later

- Extends the life of decks, beams, and exterior wood doors and windows
