This leads to common problems like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fading and Discoloration:<\/strong> The beautiful stain loses its depth and vibrancy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cracking and Peeling:<\/strong> The finish separates, exposing the raw wood.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Moisture Intrusion:<\/strong> This can cause warping, swelling, and even rot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The good news?
