Spring and summer weather is HERE! And that means one thing - it's time to work on some outdoor projects!

From building a deck and raised garden beds to staining the picnic table you built, the possibilities are endless for transforming your outdoor spaces. 

Let's dive into the top 3 products that can help to seal and protect your exterior projects, at no cost to your health or the environment. 

Exterior surfaces are susceptible to mold and mildew decay. Coating exterior surfaces provides them with years of protection from the elements, saving you more money in the long run. 

Unfortunately, many leading exterior coatings contain toxic ingredients and high levels of [VOCs](https://blog.vermontnaturalcoatings.com/blog/what-are-vocs)which can be harmful during application and off-gas into the air for weeks, months, and sometimes years after applying.
