What's Included in This Service

You begin with a discussion about stain color, finish sheen, and the type of wood being treated. The staining process involves sanding the wood to remove old finishes or imperfections, applying a pre-stain conditioner to ensure even absorption, and then brushing or wiping on the stain in thin, controlled coats. In Billings, where indoor heating cycles can dry out wood, conditioning prevents blotchy areas and ensures consistent tone across the entire surface.

Experience gained through hands-on learning helps ensure proper sanding, conditioning, and application to improve natural wood grain.
