Wood Staining & Furniture Refinishing

Hand-applied stains allow us to control depth, color saturation, and finish quality on every piece. We can blend stains, adjust application to match wood grain, and ensure even coverage that factory spray often misses. The result is richer color, better wood character, and a finish that lasts longer — especially important in San Diego's coastal climate.

A properly hand-finished stain and seal typically lasts 5–10 years on interior trim and doors, depending on sunlight exposure and traffic. Exterior wood trim in San Diego's sun and salt air may need refreshing every 3–5 years. We use coastal-grade finishes formulated to resist UV damage and moisture — far more durable than standard products.

Yes. Bring us a sample — a paint chip, a photo, or the actual wood — and we'll mix and test stain colors until we get an exact match. We work with a full palette of custom stain colors, from natural honey tones to deep espresso, and we can blend custom shades for your specific vision.

We strip old finish, sand the wood smooth, assess any damage or repairs needed, apply custom stain color, and seal with a durable topcoat. For antique or heirloom pieces, we take extra care to preserve wood character. Modern furniture gets a factory-smooth finish. The entire process typically takes 2–4 weeks depending on piece size and complexity.

We use UV-resistant stains and sealers formulated for coastal environments. These products resist salt spray, moisture penetration, and sun fade far better than standard finishes. For exterior trim, we apply multiple coats and recommend periodic maintenance every few years to keep your wood protected and beautiful.

Absolutely. We sand hardwood floors, apply custom stain colors, and seal with a durable topcoat. Whether you want to restore the original wood tone or create a new look — natural, honey, walnut, espresso — we can achieve it. The result is a beautiful, protected floor that showcases the wood grain.

Yes. We refinish wood cabinets with custom stain and durable topcoats. It's a cost-effective alternative to replacement and delivers factory-quality results. We handle kitchen, bathroom, and built-in cabinets — all finished in place so your home stays functional during the project.

Timeline depends on project scope. Interior trim in one room typically takes 3–5 days. Furniture refinishing takes 2–4 weeks (including drying time between coats). Hardwood floors take 5–7 days. We'll give you a detailed timeline during your free estimate, and we work around your schedule.

We assess every piece during the estimate. Minor dents or scratches can often be sanded out. Deeper damage may need wood filler or patching. We handle all prep work — drywall repair, wood patching, sanding — so your finished project looks flawless. We'll discuss any repairs needed and include them in your estimate.

Yes. We stand behind our craftsmanship with a warranty on materials and labor. Details vary by project type — we'll explain your coverage during the estimate. Our goal is your complete satisfaction, and we're here if any issues arise after completion.
