Cedar is a beautiful, natural wood, and many people love the look of it in decking and outdoor furniture. It’s durability and signature scent of naturally-occurring cedar oil makes it a popular choice for homeowners.  Cedar also has the benefit that it’s fibers contain oils that act as natural preservatives to help the wood resist rot and decay, making it well suited to our humid summers and cold winters in southeastern Wisconsin. Because a cedar seedling will take 50 years to grow to maturity, the wood is costlier than the more commonly-used pressure-treated composite woods. To keep it looking great, it requires specialized care from us, your Milwaukee cedar staining experts at Richmond Painting.
