Wood Finishing

What This Service Involves

Beyond color, a quality clear finish is what protects wood from moisture, wear, and sun while giving it depth and sheen. We prepare the surface, then apply lacquer, polyurethane, or specialty topcoats matched to how the piece is used. High-traffic elements like stair treads and countertops get harder, more abrasion-resistant systems. In our damp region, sealing wood properly is the difference between a finish that lasts and one that clouds or peels.

Benefits

Protective clear coats that resist moisture, wear, and UV; sheen options from matte to high gloss to suit the piece; abrasion-resistant systems for high-traffic wood; sealed surfaces that hold up in humid conditions; enhanced depth and richness of the natural grain

Our Process

1) Sand and clean the wood to a smooth, dust-free surface; 2) Apply a sealer or sanding coat where needed; 3) Build protective clear coats with sanding between; 4) Perform a final rub-out and inspect for an even sheen

What Affects the Cost

Wood type and the finish system specified; number of build coats and sheen level; surface area and intricacy of the work; level of surface prep or stripping first; whether the piece sees heavy use or moisture

Best Time of Year
