How to Choose the Best Stain for Your Wood?

Choosing the right stain for your wood surfaces depends on several factors, including the type of wood, the level of exposure to sunlight and moisture, and the desired finish. For exterior surfaces, opt for stains that offer UV protection and weather resistance. For interior wood, consider oil-based stains for deeper penetration and a more natural look.

A variety of finishes— from transparent to semi-transparent and solid stains— allow you to control how much of the wood grain is visible while achieving the look you want.

Wood Staining

How long does wood staining last?

The longevity of a wood stain depends on the exposure to weather conditions, but on average, exterior stains last 3-5 years, while interior stains can last much longer with proper maintenance.

Can you stain over previously stained wood?

Yes, but the previous stain may need to be stripped or sanded down, depending on the type of stain and the condition of the wood. Our team will assess your surface and recommend the best approach for a flawless finish.

What is the difference between staining and painting wood?

Staining enhances the natural grain and beauty of the wood, offering a more natural look, while painting covers the wood completely with a solid color. Stains penetrate the wood, while paint sits on the surface, providing different levels of protection.

Is staining better for decks than painting?

Staining is often preferred for decks because it allows the wood to breathe and shows off its natural texture. It also requires less maintenance than paint, which can peel and chip over time.
