Expert Staining Services in Lamorinda, East Bay & San Francisco: Enhance & Protect Your Wood

We begin with a thorough inspection of the wood surface to assess its condition and identify any areas needing repair. We then clean the surface to remove dirt, mildew, and old coatings. This step ensures that the stain adheres properly and provides optimal protection. We pay special attention to detail, ensuring that every nook and cranny is properly prepared. This meticulous approach sets the stage for a flawless and long-lasting finish. We may use power washing to remove any debris.

Once the surface is clean and dry, we sand it to create a smooth and even base for the stain. Sanding removes any imperfections and opens the wood pores, allowing the stain to penetrate deeply. We use the appropriate grit sandpaper for the type of wood and the desired finish. Our skilled technicians take care to sand evenly, ensuring a consistent and uniform surface. This step is crucial for achieving a professional-looking result.

After sanding, we apply the stain using brushes, rollers, or sprayers, depending on the project and the desired effect. We use high-quality stains from trusted brands known for their durability and color retention. We apply the stain evenly, working with the grain of the wood to enhance its natural beauty. Our experienced team takes care to avoid drips, runs, and other imperfections. We allow the stain to dry completely before proceeding to the next step.

To protect the stained surface from the elements, we apply a sealant. The sealant provides a barrier against moisture, UV rays, and other environmental factors that can damage the wood. We use high-quality sealants that are specifically designed for exterior use. We apply the sealant evenly, ensuring complete coverage. Our meticulous application ensures that your wood surfaces are protected for years to come. We may use a brush and roll technique.
