Some people actually prefer the look of painted porches. There are companys who make paint specifically designed for porches that will add protection to the surface. These kinds of paint are also available in a texture that help prevent people from slipping when the surface becomes wet. It is also easier to maintain.

It is a matter of taste. Natural wood porches look good on rustic homes, while painted porches go well with colonial style homes. Also paint gives the wood some protection against the forces of nature. Even natural wood porches could benefit from a coating of a wood preservative to keep them from drying out.
