Preparation is key to a flawless finish. We begin by thoroughly cleaning and sanding the wood, repairing any cracks or imperfections, and applying a primer if necessary. For staining, we ensure the surface is properly conditioned to absorb the stain evenly.
With proper application and maintenance, painted woodwork can last 7-10 years before requiring touch-ups. Stained wood, when properly sealed, can last even longer, especially with regular cleaning and reapplication of protective coatings.
Choosing between paint and stain depends on your aesthetic preference and the type of wood being finished. Painting provides a smooth, opaque look that can brighten a space, while staining enhances the wood’s natural grain and texture. If your wood has beautiful natural characteristics, staining is a great way to showcase them.
Regular dusting and gentle cleaning with a damp cloth help maintain the beauty of painted and stained wood surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the finish. For stained wood, reapplying a protective sealant every few years can extend its longevity and keep it looking fresh.
Yes! If you want to darken the existing stain, we can apply a new stain over it after proper sanding and preparation. If you want to lighten stained wood or change it to paint, we can strip the existing stain, sand the surface, and refinish it with your preferred color.
