  • Trigger asthma and respiratory problems
  • Deterioration of wood and other materials
  • Musty smell
  • Staining around the house

The sealant is going to preserve the wood for years to come, and sealant over the paint or stain will also preserve the color that you choose.

The damaged wood or wood that gets affected by moisture could attract insects that are going to eat through your trim, fencing and windows, and it could allow other pests in through the damaged area. Protecting the wood is helping to keep pests and insects out of your property, and it prevents them from eating the structure of your home.
