Deck Staining & Refinishing
A well-stained deck looks great and holds up far better to Minnesota sun, rain, and snow. We clean, prep, and stain decks, porches, and other exterior wood across the Twin Cities and Lake Minnetonka area, and refinish wood surfaces inside the home too.
Deck Staining & Refinishing
Stain only performs as well as the prep underneath it. We start by cleaning away dirt, graying, and old failing finish, sand the wood smooth (down to bare wood when the surface calls for it), and address loose or damaged boards. Then we apply an even coat of penetrating stain that brings out the grain and protects the wood through the seasons.
Painting the house too? See exterior painting. We can plan both into one project.
Other Wood Refinishing
The same careful prep and staining work carries over to other wood around your home, outside and in. A refinished wooden garage door can completely change the look of a home's exterior, and stained built-ins, doors, and trim can be refreshed and matched to the woodwork you already have.
