Stain is less forgiving than paint. It soaks into the wood, so every bit of prep and every lap mark shows in the end.
Staining is priced by area and type of wood, its current condition, and how much prep or stripping the existing finish needs. Interior finish work and exterior deck work are quoted by their specifics. We assess and give you a written estimate at no cost.
Usually the old finish needs sanding or stripping first so the new stain absorbs evenly. We handle that as part of prep.
Stain lets the wood breathe and show its grain and is often the better choice for decks. We advise based on your wood and how it has weathered.
We work to match or complement your existing tone, and we test on an inconspicuous spot first.
With proper prep and quality sealer, exterior stain holds for a few years depending on exposure. We set honest expectations.
