Paint vs Stain For Your Deck

Should You Paint or Stain Your Deck?

If you're a homeowner in Fort Worth or surrounding North Texas communities, deciding between deck painting and staining isn’t just a style choice—it’s also about choosing the right protection for our extreme weather. Between triple-digit summers, high humidity, and sudden cold fronts, your deck needs a finish that holds up year-round. Here’s how to choose the best option for your home:

 

Deck Staining in Fort Worth TX

 

Deck Staining – A Natural Look That Fits the Texas Landscape

Staining is a popular choice in neighborhoods like Benbrook, Aledo, and Walsh Ranch, where homeowners want to preserve the natural wood grain for a more rustic, organic feel.

  • Great for cedar, pine, and redwood—commonly found on North Texas decks

  • Soaks into the wood, allowing it to breathe and flex with humidity changes

  • Helps prevent cracking or peeling in high sun areas like south-facing backyards

  • Needs reapplication every 2–3 years, especially after stormy seasons or long droughts

  • Available in clear, semi-transparent, and solid colors to match your style

Deck Painting – Long-Term Protection for Aging or Weathered Decks

If your deck is older, sun-faded, or has surface wear from years of Texas weather, paint offers full coverage and added protection. We often recommend this in established Fort Worth neighborhoods like Ridgmar, Arlington Heights, or Westcliff, where decks have been through many seasons.

  • Provides a durable, uniform finish that hides imperfections

  • Ideal for decks that have already been painted or are showing signs of wear

  • Withstands UV exposure better on open decks with little shade

  • Easier to clean and maintain, especially near pools or high-traffic entertaining areas

  • Lasts up to 8–10 years when applied properly with premium products

At Bearcat Painting, we don’t just slap on a coat and call it done. We take time to assess your deck’s condition, the type of wood, sun exposure, and even your irrigation setup. Our Fort Worth-based crew knows exactly how to prepare and finish decks to stand up to the local climate—and we only use Sherwin-Williams paints and stains, formulated for Texas heat and humidity.
