The Lowcountry air that blows off the ocean and rivers can be brutal on wood and paint jobs. The salt in the air eats away at almost everything on a house. Pictured here is a walkway leading from a house to the beach on Hilton Head. For the past 8 years, I’ve cared for the walkway by sanding, scraping, and repainting it. No matter how careful I am, the paint continues to flake as the water finds a way through cracks and gets under the paint and causes the paint to come loose. Last year I decided to strip the paint away and go with a high quality deck stain. The difference is the stain does not flake. The stain wears over time, but in this application, stain is superior to paint. Ashley Ingram, General Contractor 843 986 1000
