Staining & Varnishing
A fresh coat of varnish over existing varnish is our most common work. This requires light buff sand and a coat or two of the acrylic varnish.
After a thorough cleaning, trouble areas or stains in the wood are sanded out. If refinishing the surface, all existing stains will be removed using sanders. You’ll want those surfaces to be smoother. After the area you want to sand is finished you’ll want to clean the surface by blowing the dust away, washing it and letting it dry for a day before applying stain. This will ensure a smooth finish.
Staining is a project for our interior painters, we are asked to stain new wood steps, rails, and wood trim on occasion. This work usually requires a couple of coats of varnish after the staining is completed to provide protection for the surface.
