Wood Staining

Our Process – What to Expect

Our wood staining process begins with an in-depth consultation to understand your vision and the condition of your wood surfaces. We’ll help you select stains and finishes that fit your style while providing the right level of protection. Whether you’re refinishing an indoor staircase or revitalizing your backyard deck, every step is handled with precision and care.

Preparation is key. Our professionals expertly sand, clean, and condition the wood to remove old coatings and ensure that fresh stain absorbs evenly. This meticulous prep work prevents blotching and guarantees a smooth, consistent appearance. Once the surface is ready, we apply high-quality stains using brushes, pads, or sprayers, depending on the wood’s texture and grain.

For interior applications, we focus on achieving a flawless aesthetic with just the right sheen—be it matte, satin, or glossy. For exterior projects, we use durable, UV-resistant products that protect against moisture, sunlight, and temperature changes. Every project ends with a detailed inspection to ensure color consistency, smooth application, and long-lasting performance.

When you work with The Colorado Painting Company, you’re choosing expertise and attention to detail that homeowners can trust. Our team treats every space like our own, ensuring that your home looks beautiful while being protected year-round.

DIY vs. Professional Wood Staining

Many homeowners consider staining projects as potential DIY tasks, but achieving a smooth, even finish that lasts requires professional experience and specialized materials. Inconsistent application, poor surface preparation, or the wrong choice of stain can lead to uneven color, blotches, or premature fading. Without the right techniques, even quality wood can look dull or weathered within a year.

Hiring a professional Denver painting company eliminates those risks. Our experienced technicians understand how to evaluate each type of wood—its density, porosity, and existing finish—to determine the right prep and application process. We use high-quality stains, sealants, and tools to ensure optimal absorption and long-term protection.

Beyond aesthetics, professional wood staining protects your investment. We understand how Colorado’s dry air and strong sun can quickly deteriorate untreated wood. That’s why The Colorado Painting Company applies protective finishes that defend against cracking, warping, and moisture intrusion, giving your woodwork lasting strength and beauty.

Calculating the Cost of Staining

The cost of wood staining depends on factors like surface size, condition, wood type, and whether any old coatings need to be removed. A simple indoor project, like staining trim or doors, costs less than larger outdoor projects such as decks or fences, which require more prep and product. No matter the scale, we provide clear, upfront estimates so homeowners always know what to expect.

As experienced painting contractors in Colorado, we can also bundle staining services with related projects for greater efficiency. Many homeowners choose to combine deck or fence staining with exterior painting or even siding repair for a cohesive, refreshed look. For interiors, staining can complement wall painting or refinishing to create a unified color palette throughout your home.

At The Colorado Painting Company, our pricing is transparent, fair, and tailored to your home’s unique needs. We use only premium products designed to enhance your wood’s natural beauty while offering exceptional durability and weather protection.
