  • CLEAN IT

    Depending on the age of your exterior wood, most exterior wood does need to be cleaned and restored prior to staining & sealing. However, your exterior wood may be ready for our stain & seal process, especially if it’s 0-3 months old.

  • RESTORE IT

    Restoring the wood fibers is vital for allowing the stain & seal to properly penetrate the wood. This process balances the PH level in the wood and helps return the natural coloration.

  • STAIN IT

    All of our stains are oil based. We offer transparent, as well as semi-transparent and semi-solid. Our stains penetrate and condition the wood, and typically need to be re-stained in 2-3 years.

Oil-Based vs Water-Based?

Water-based stains are film forming stains that bind to the surface of the wood, much like paint does. Water-based stains tend to bubble, crack, peel, and flake.

Penetrating oil-based stains absorbs deep into the wood surface without leaving the film forming "painted look".

Oil-based stains are highly preferred over it's water-based counterparts on any exterior wood for many reasons.

It doesn't trap in moisture leading to shorter lifespan of the wood.

It moisturizes and conditions the wood, preventing warping, twisting and bowing of the boards.

It requires less maintenance, water-based stains often need to be stripped and sanded, while 50% of the water-based stain will flake off, the other 50% often times is stuck like glue, making re-coating impossible without using caustic strippers and/or sanding.
