We feature a lot of awesome transformations in our blog, from painting kitchen cabinets to wood rot repair, exterior repaints to wood refinishing.
But you know what part of your home gets a lot of use, but not a lot of love? The front porch. It’s a main hub, seeing foot traffic, Amazon packages, and your dog scrambling to get outside, but it’s also an oasis. A quiet place to sit and soak in the cool of the evening.
That’s why we’re thrilled to be able to showcase a gorgeous porch repaint, coming to you from Poway, CA. We should note that we finished a number of other projects for our client as well, but this one is a favorite.
It began with the railings: masking off and covering the porch floor, then painting the surfaces. After that, we could remove the masking and paint the floor itself.
The colors are crisp and inviting, flowing beautifully with the rest of the field and trim palette. All ready for the homeowners to move their furniture back out and enjoy the space!
It’s a great question! And honestly, it applies to decks as well. Here are a few thoughts to keep in mind.
Unlike stain, paint sits right on top of the wood. This means that you can apply it more quickly, it looks great, and it covers over any blemishes. It can fail more quickly than stain, especially with seasonal temperature changes, but that’s not really as much of an issue here in San Diego.
The other key consideration is your aesthetic preference. If you have a real affinity for wood grain and more natural style, then a stain would be a better fit. But if you’re looking for practicality, easy maintenance, and a quicker application process, paint is the way to go.
