Custom Stain

Understanding different species of wood and how they react is critical. Undertones, color theory, grain density, porosity, soft and hard woods, saturation ... all these things play a role. Our team is experienced with difficult stain matching and proper wood protection procedures.

Custom Floor matching

Stain matching is a pretty big part of what we do. Matching your handrail, shelving, floating stairs, thresholds, even trim packages to a favorite piece of furniture or your hardwood floors is easy and painless.

Exterior staining

Whether it's a simple soffit project like this one, or a colossal undertaking with months of work and scaffolding ... we know what to do and how to do it.

Interior glulams

Glulams are tricky. They are designed to reject moisture for the sake of structural preservation. They also need to be able to release moisture content with the seasons to avoid checking and cracking. There is a specific process to adhere to in order to make sure that they not only look good, but that the structural integrity is preserved.
