Interior and Exterior Wood Staining
Enhance the beauty of natural wood
with the help of staining contractors
 Doing stainwork is considered the Ph.D. of painting, because with stainwork, the craft of painting becomes an art.
 It takes years of experience, knowledge of wood, patience and a good eye for color to produce a top-quality, custom finish.
Top-grade professional staining takes more skill than most painters have, and entrusting the work to incompetents can lead to permanently damaged wood.
Exterior Staining
When talking about exterior house staining, many people use the word "painting", but the difference between paint and stain is enormous.
Paints work by coating a surface with a protective film, while most stains penetrate into the wood. That is why stains are usually lower maintenance than paints - when applied properly, they do not peel or blister, and generally look good even as they are naturally wearing away.
 Transparent and semi-transparent stains look best on woods that are in a good condition - they allow the underlying wood grain to show through, but will also show any wood defects or discoloration. Such stains can only be used on new or previously stained wood.
 Solid, or opaque stains look almost like paint, only thinner - they will cover wood grain, but will still show the wood's texture.
Solid stains are generally soft, so they are not recommended for high traffic areas like deck floors, but on vertical surfaces they last longer than semi-transparent stains. Solid stains do not soak into the wood, and can be used over bare or previously stained, primed or painted surfaces.
And you are not limited to natural wood colors only - these days you can find such exotic stain colors like blue, gray, green and many more.
Interior Staining
Beautifully stained wood cabinets, staircases or doors can turn any house into a showcase.
 If you get tired of the same look and become tempted to paint the real wood - don't.
Home decorating trends come and go, but real wood's appeal lasts forever, and just a couple years later you may regret your impulse.
 You can completely transform the look of your wood by changing stain color and finish.
Raw wood is like a blank canvas, and is the easiest to work with. But finished wood can be stripped and re-finished in any color of your choice as well. It's even possible to match stain color to other wood pieces in your home for more harmony and to tie it all together.
In fact, even painted wood surfaces can be stripped down to bare wood and then stained and varnished to bring out their natural beauty - but this luxury is expensive, so it's better not to commit the crime of painting fine woods in the first place!
If you like the color of your wood, but something still seems to be missing, consider applying a fresh coat of varnish to it. A clear varnish will bring out the beauty of the grain and give a visual depth to the finish.
