Common Questions and Answers



What Materials Are Used in Rainshield's Decking and Railing Services?

Rainshield utilizes high-grade materials ensuring durability and visual allure. The prime materials include composite and vinyl for decking and a variety of materials for railing systems, catering to different tastes and budgets. You may also consider the timeless cedar approach, allowing for that cozy, natural feeling that makes guests and visitors feel welcome and invited.

How Long Will My Deck Last?

The longevity of your deck largely hinges on the material chosen and the prevailing weather conditions in Bellingham and Whatcom County. Weather erosion, particularly in the Pacific Northwest, is a real and recurring visitor. With proper care, decks can serve as a long-term, beautiful addition to your home. With our deck services, we can help make sure your deck remains a centerpiece of your home for as long as possible.

What Kind of Maintenance is Required?

Maintenance requisites vary with the material.

  • While composite decking demands less upkeep, a regular cleaning schedule is advisable to retain its allure.
  • In the case of vinyl decking, it's known for its ease of maintenance. A simple routine of sweeping and occasional washing with mild soap and water typically keeps vinyl decking looking new. It doesn't require staining, sealing, or painting, making it a low-maintenance option for homeowners who prefer to spend less time on upkeep.
  • Cedar decking requires more maintenance compared to composite and vinyl decking. It's advisable to clean it annually and apply a clear or tinted wood preservative that contains an anti mildew to maintain its appearance and longevity. For those who appreciate the rich look of cedar, staining or sealing every few years is necessary to preserve the wood's natural color and resist moisture and insect damage.
