Over the stain we brush a water based finish that dries clear with only a mild smell, and you choose the sheen, from matte up to semi-gloss.

Staining work carries a one year labor guarantee. Half is due the day sanding starts, the other half after the last finish layer dries.



Staining is included in our $2.50/Sq Ft refinishing rate, which covers sanding, your chosen color and all the finish layers. Want the crew to handle the furniture too? That's a flat $250.
